YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

This video suggests that postmodernism is a conservative philosophy. The books covered include Hal Foster’s The Anti-Aesthetic, Mark Fisher’s Capitalist Realism, and Matt McManus’ upcoming What Is Postmodern Conservatism? We take a look at the difference between parody and pastiche, the difference between Madonna and Tommy Smothers, the genius of Richard Linklater’s movie Slacker, and the nostalgia of Douglas Lain.

Zero Books Manifesto:

The modern world is at an impasse. Disasters scroll across our smartphone screens and we’re invited to like, follow or upvote, but critical thinking is harder and harder to find. Rather than connecting us in common struggle and debate, the internet has sped up and deepened a long-standing process of alienation and atomization.

Zer0 Books wants to work against this trend.
