<p>The independent publisher that’s been shaking up the literary scene with its bold, anti-establishment ethos. From philosophy to politics, music to subcultures, Repeater has carved out a space for radical thought and unflinching creativity. </p><br><p>In this episode, we unpack the explosive whistleblowing that exposed the tech-capitalist ties behind the scenes, the role of AI in eroding independent publishing, and what this means for the future of leftist literature. Featuring voices from those on the front lines, we explore how corporate power is suffocating radical thought—and why the fight for Repeater and Zer0 is far from over. <strong>Free Palestine. Smash the machines. The struggle continues.</strong></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

<p>And I wonder—if Dazai were alive today, would he even stand a chance? Would he be dismissed as “too bleak” for publishers? Would he be buried under a thousand AI-generated books designed to mimic his style but lacking his soul? Would an algorithm decide that his work was too risky, too unpredictable, too human?</p><p>Art, when it’s real, doesn’t follow the rules. It doesn’t obey authority. It doesn’t ask permission to exist. And maybe that’s why Dazai still resonates today—because his work is a reminder of what art is supposed to be. It’s a slap in the face to a world that wants everything to be palatable, profitable, and safe.</p><br><p>So maybe the real question isn’t whether Dazai would survive in today’s world. Maybe the question is—would today’s world even deserve him?</p><br><p>I reflect on my relationship with the work of Dazai and crucially the impact 'No Longer Human' had on my personal since Lockdown. </p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
