Bleeding Hearts, Empty Wallets | NaN, moe. & Radio Kumo

This hour unpacks the complex dynamics at play when world struggles become public fundraising campaigns, when art becomes activism, and when clicking "donate" becomes a substitute for deeper engagement. We discuss whether smaller gestures of support—sharing, liking, small donations—have replaced sustained collective action, leaving artists to shoulder both creative and activist burdens. we explore how consumer culture has transformed solidarity into transaction, and why those creating work for social change often find themselves most vulnerable to economic exploitation.
