S16E09: Hulk Hogan, Hyperreality & America’s Plutocracy
Manage episode 462098947 series 3006349
This week on Uncolonized, it’s a solo episode with me, Gavin Stephens. In Part 1, I dive into WWE’s big move to Netflix, focusing on the reception of Hulk Hogan. I explore how Jean Baudrillard’s theory of hyperreality applies to Hogan and why he embodies America’s myth-making machine. I also share my evolving perspective on politics—shifting from the traditional left vs. right divide to a more direct Workers vs. Owners framework.
In Part 2 (available exclusively on Patreon), I continue the discussion, tackling the TikTok ban and why America has always been a plutocracy.
Tune in for deep analysis, cultural critique, and unfiltered takes.
