In Episode 89 [10] of the CounterVortex podcast [11], Bill Weinberg takes heart at the national uprising in El Salvador [12] against the imposition of Bitcoin as legal tender, and draws the connection to his own incessant struggles [13] against corporate cyber-overlords Verizon [14]—as well as the to the automated drone terror [15] in Afghanistan. As we are distracted (or, at any rate, should be distracted) by the more obviously pressing issues such as police brutality [16] and climate destabilization [17], the digitization of every sphere of human activity lurches forward at a terrifying pace—with zero resistance. Until now. The heroic protesters in El Salvador have launched the long overdue revolution of everyday life [18]. Listen on SoundCloud [10] or via Patreon [19].
