Can you name literally any element of the song that would make it not R&B?
I guess it's all about expectations, I expected him to be much worse on China (he famously put Deng's picture on the cover of A Brief History of Neoliberalism) so I was surprised how much more nuanced he was than I expected lol
Fr the whole discussion was really good, even the audience questions. I haven't read or listened to a lot of David Harvey and thought he was always interesting too (hot take I know)
You were the one who brought in completely unnecessary hate against a completely different style of music.

I gained a lot of respect for him this year because I read his The Darker Nations: A People's History of the Third World (2006). It's a people's history of the Non-Aligned Movement. A lot of his later texts are poorly-cited pamphlets but this earlier work is very serious, incredibly thoughtful and artful constructed. It's easy to imagine a version of this book being that is a bunch of sprawling facts as it involves like 80 different counties but he organizes the book by concept (like developmental economics or the cultural question) and centers each chapter around a city that acts as a metonym for the idea, then expands the chapter to other areas that had significant movements with respect to the idea.
I realized as much as he's a guy who likes to go off on a microphone he's actually quite a serious dude too.

Was chatting with a bud about whether the Trump 9/11 tweet was the best tweet of all time and reread this thread for the first time in a while. So many banger lines when dude is on he is on.
I never read his responses to his reply guys before I missed those.
Watching El Golpe Blanco (1975) right now about the attempt for a parliamentary coup by reaction in Chile before the military coup. Flick opens with a shot of Langley and a voiceover from UK journalist and defector to the GDR John Peet where he just shrugs off "CIA headquarters in Langley near Washington: one of the instruments of US monopoly capital in its global strategy of counterrevolution." Like there's no bullshit, no both sidesing, just plainly calling a spade a spade so refreshing.
