82: High Value Target

Moya Bailey, Misogynoir, and Digital Alchemy

Moya Bailey, who coined the term "misogynoir," discusses "digital alchemy"—the process by which marginalized groups repurpose social media platforms for unintended uses. While Bailey advocates for building new tools to dismantle systemic harm, the hosts argue that Kevin Samuels was a "digital alchemist" for the opposing side. They discuss the limitations of using "the master's tools" to achieve social change.

Digital Alchemy and the Attack on Capitalism

Moya Bailey, who coined the term "misogynoir," discusses "digital alchemy"—the process of black women using digital tools in ways they were never intended. Bailey advocates for dismantling the "master's house" (capitalism) using new tools. The hosts argue that this is a clear Marxist agenda and that building on existing platforms like YouTube is not a truly "generative" way to disrupt the system.
