This second session will discuss episodes 3 & 4 of Blowback season 4 – book a ticket to receive a link to the podcast. This week’s discussion will focus especially on how the media manipulates people into supporting war.
Doors open from 6pm for a 6:30pm start.
________________________________________
What stance should socialists take when their country is involved in a war? How does the media twist perceptions of conflicts in order to garner support at home? Do foreign interventions ever achieve their stated goals?
Using season 4 of Blowback as our starting point, we will discuss these questions and many more across 7 bi-weekly sessions at PRSC. All knowledge levels welcome, come along and get involved!
Blowback season 4 will start releasing weekly later this year. You can access it all immediately with a subscription here. To start listening now if you don’t have a subscription, send us a message – on Twitter, Instagram, or by email – and we’ll share access with you.
Tickets available from Headfirst
