I discuss the awful results of Astroworld, and the terrible response from Travis Scott. Scott has a history of destructive and violent venues that often feed on the worst human characteristics. This was not only the result of individual failings, failures of the venue, and callous disregard on Scott's end. It was also the work of decades of the "Me over We" attitude that has now began to cannibalize our nation. Want to see more BPA content & show your support?: https://linktr.ee/BackpackingA...

The CIA, and before them the FBI, have been funding the various formations of Progressive thought and movements in the United States, Europe and Latin America for over 100 years. The aim of this is to make anti-communist socialists. The ultimate goal of this was to make sure the communist movement, and in the 1960's the New Left, became fragmented and powerless. They achieved this by using Anarchist principles of anti-authoritarianism and individual action of achieving socialism to weaken these ...
