Fliplanthropy S02E07: Class Traitorship – The Merits of Collective Risk Fliplanthropy

How to decondition from our class upbringings and embrace risk-taking to unlock and prioritise collective betterment.

ismatu gwendolyn considers the position of class traitorship from a collectivist framework, where “class traitor” refers to an individual who works against the ideals of the class they were born into. Instead of pursuing personalized wealth and profits, how can individuals assess their position in local and global society and move to apply resources for collective benefit? What are the mechanisms and ideologies most effective for building sovereign communities that outlive sovereign persons? Where and how does traitorship move beyond a donation?
