bratified: the meme-ification of everything
<p>In this wide-ranging conversation, Paul and Mel discuss the recent "bratification" of Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential campaign and its implications for politics, internet culture, and democracy. They explore how memes and social media are shaping political discourse, the challenges of media literacy in the age of AI, and concerns about the digital divide. The hosts reflect on generational differences in online engagement, the power of mobilizing real-world action, and the need for reimagining political systems. Throughout, they grapple with feelings of hope and skepticism about technology's role in social change.
