Meet Farton Bink – Thursday, November 5 at 7 p.m.
A guide to psychic self-defense against capitalism and its manifestations
“I’m useless, I can’t do it,” “I’m a piece of shit”… Young generations, like those before them, are growing up in a world where exhaustion, insecurity, anxiety, and loneliness are experienced as personal failures: what if the problem isn’t us? We suffer in a system that convinces us that our suffering is our own fault.
This also helps answer urgent political questions: Why do we accept the unacceptable? Why doesn’t anything blow up? Adaptation bias, normalization effects, learned helplessness: psychological mechanisms, constructed and socially organized, push us every day to accept social violence as normal.
Faced with this widespread sense of powerlessness, Farton Bink works to deconstruct the narratives that trap us. Drawing on pop culture—films, music, comics, manga, TV series—the co-editor-in-chief of Frustration Magazine aims to restore the full political dimension of our feelings, so we can stop blaming ourselves together and finally rediscover our sense of collective power.
@fartonbink is co-editor-in-chief, author, and video creator at @frustrationmag , the magazine on the front lines of the class war. No, You’re Not a Piece of Shit is her first book, published by @les_liens_qui_liberentAutomatically translated into English. The original text is preserved.
