"On the barricades" — s02e47 #feminismonline #liberal_feminsim #gender_critical_feminism Vaishnavi Sundar is an Indian feminist and filmmaker. She joins this episode of On the Barricades to explore the faces of feminism in India. When they talk about India, people instinctively think of poverty, castes, and rape. But this is a very narrow perspective. India has vivid activist and socialist movements. It is a massive country with extremely diverse cultural, economic, and political backgrounds. A feminist I discovered recently is Vaishnavi Sundar. According to what she says, she is not a liberal feminist, even though she used to be one. Instead, she has become a "gender-critical feminist."

"On the Barricades" - s04e25 As the war continues in Ukraine, more and more people, intellectuals, journalists, and artists are drawn into the pro-war narrative. The slightest deviation from the official line is deemed to be “pro-Putinist Russian propaganda”. There is no place for debate, for analysis. In this edition of the Thumbs Down Thumbs Up” of our show Boyan Stanislavski, Maria Cernat and Youri Smouter discussed the vile and toxic media environment and how detrimental this is in the long run, especially for young democracies such as the Romanian, Bulgarian and Polish. The cartoonish media representation of events is something that will get us closer to the very authoritarian regimes that we want to distance ourselves from. The lack of political imagination and strategic thinking in very complex situations like the one we are experiencing, create the extremely volatile context where incredibly dangerous and irreversible political gestures could be made. We are drowning in a sea of communication made available by the formidable technological tools, yet information is almost nowhere to be found. Join us, On the Barricades, where we discuss with Youri Smouter, the producer of 1+1, this evolution of the public discourse! ******************** Check out our website at https://thebarricade.online/ ******************** Subscribe to our YouTube channel https://bit.ly/Barricade_YT ******************** Subscribe to our Rumble channel https://rumble.com/user/thebarricade ******************** Follow us on Spotify http://bit.ly/Barricade_SF ******************** Follow us on SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/baricada ******************** Like our Facebook page https://facebook.com/EnBaricada/ ******************** Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/_the_barricade_ ******************** Hey there! The Barricade is a leftist media outlet set up by a group of activists and journalists from around Eastern Europe. This channel is part of our efforts to provide analyzes, news as well as opinions and comments from and on our region, often disregarded by the West (including the Left) in a very colonial manner. One of our tasks is to confront such an approach as well as many other naïve and superficial views about Eastern Europe and its left. It has history, experience and competence to participate in the global debates. And we're doing this via this channel and its flagship show "On the barricades" hosted by Boyan Stanislavski and Maria Cernat.
