167: Duct Taping Drugs to Bad Behavior

Ben Boyce Season 1 Episode 167

This week I dive into some of Trump's recent comments about "Venezuelan gang members" and the USA's legacy of dehumanizing people based on their drug use. I discuss Rodney King, Joaquín Guzman aka "El Chapo," George Floyd, dehumanization, Hannah Arendt's Banality of Evil, the art of shilling for Trump (aka "minionism"), and lots more.

You can find clips and images of the "Venezuelan Gang deportations" here.
