What happens when the internet turns politics into a consumer activity — something you watch, share, and feel, rather than something you do? Cayden Mak, publisher of Convergence magazine and host of Block and Build, joins co-hosts Daniel W.K. Lee and Kenyon Farrow to untangle the structural forces shaping digital organizing, from Shoshana Zuboff’s surveillance capitalism to Silicon Valley’s role in driving authoritarian consolidation. He pushes back on AI hype — arguing that much of it is marketing designed to launder ideology and remove human accountability from harmful decisions — while also insisting that the internet has been genuinely life-saving for young queer people cut off from affirming communities. Drawing on the legacy of ACT UP and the long-view thinking of Grace Lee Boggs, Cayden makes the case that real politics is not what you watch or repost, but what you do with other people over time.
