Summary: Rundown<br> In this episode we break down the Law of Attraction and “positivity culture,” and critique how they’ve been employed in the support of capital and other oppressive structures. In the second half of the episode, we temper this with a discussion around how we personally (or Mexie more specifically) reconcile our spirituality with anti-capitalist theory and praxis, acknowledging that these are loaded topics and that there will never be a one-size-fits-all answer for everyone.<br> Sources and Links<br> <br> * Rhonda Byrne, “The Secret”: <a href="https://www.thesecret.tv/">https://www.thesecret.tv/</a><br> * Rhonda Byrne, “The Power: <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Power-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1439181780">https://www.amazon.ca/Power-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1439181780</a><br> * Barbara Ehrenreich, “Smile or Die”: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJGMFu74a70&t=0s">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJGMFu74a70&t=0s</a><br> * Vegan Warrior Princesses Attack!, “Be Grateful!
