Hobo Johnson is an incredible artist, and as far as I can tell a modern day Renaissance man. In this particular piece he does an exceptional job of literally reading the writing to you without making you think he is. He uses commentary, humor, a melody and a chorus to make learning more fun. I was thinking about this while walking just now and I actually might send him a letter of appreciation to follow the best practices of empowering and positively reinforcing that behavior.
“Positive Reinforcement” is an ideal I get a lot of pushback on because people think I’m treating them like an animal. They’re right. Because humans are animals and I’m just as trainable as my dog if you do it right
I’m gonna check it out but I can almost guarantee that they have different goals and effects which will be useful in different scenarios. Widen your arsenal a bit is all I’m getting at
For sure! Definitely different, but if I had to pick one it would be Blowback as there’s sticking power to it, and more importantly generates sympathy for the Global South. Too many new Leftists in the US take on nationalist stances, rather than internationalist.

He’s great! I do think Blowback goes way farther though, while being entertaining and heart-wrenching.
