Technocapitalism and patriarchy: how are they connected and what can be done about them?
Discussion

The world is bursting at the seams: superpower wars are fueled by the hatred and alienation brought on by the "rightward turn." The manosphere, incels, and patriarchal-conservative communities are all products of online social platforms that inflate individual information bubbles and destroy common spaces for discussion. The achievements of feminism and the fight for the rights of vulnerable groups are devalued by the billionaires who own these platforms.

Is it possible to mend a public sphere fragmented into echo chambers? How can we overcome growing alienation? What are the weaknesses of technopatriarchy? 

The conversation features Nuria Fatykhova (an expert on gender equality and civil society), writer Nikolai V. Kononov (Populist, The Night We Disappeared, Uprising), sociologist Ella Rossman (The End of the Free Era: Voices of Russian Feminism), and DOXA founder Armen Aramyan. 

Moderator: journalist Alexander Urzhanov.
