what we're about
A podcastof radical thought, dissent, and liberation with "THE DUGOUT" where two Black anarchist hosts offer an unapologetic perspective on local and national news, cultural events, and literature. In each episode, our hosts challenge conventional narratives and exploring various threads of resistance. They navigate the complexities of our modern world, unpacking the latest happenings, while also mining the deeper wellsprings of queer, Black and radical knowledge that the internet and social media have helped further unleash. Their goal is to dissect the pressing issues of today while extending the boundaries of the Black anarchist canon, exploring the past, present, and future of Black liberation struggles. "THE DUGOUT" is where the traditional meets the cutting edge, and where audacity reigns supreme. Join us on this journey towards a future that is unapologetically radical and free.

ABOUT THE EPISODEIn this episode, we dig deep into afro-pessimism and whether or not we take it seriously an ideology, practice, framework, and meta-logic. And we question... is Candace Owens an afro-pessimist, but for evil?WHAT IS AFRO-PESSIMISM?Afro-pessimism, a meta-theoretical framework, offers a multifaceted lens through which to comprehend the persistent effects of racism, colonialism, and historical enslavement on African Americans within the United States. Within this framework, the legacy of the transatlantic slave trade is examined not only as a historical event but also as a foundational structure that continues to shape contemporary societal dynamics. Afro-pessimism acknowledges the pervasive nature of anti-blackness as a form of systemic, psychic, racial, and economic oppression, probing into the intricate interplay between structural conditions and individual subjectivities.
