    It’s three dudes riffing about organizing who aren’t doing it lol. No hate, I’m certainly busy to dedicate any meaningful time to organizing, but 9/10 times my suggestions aren’t meant to be serious

    The Antifada heads stay winning. It’s really The Only Good Leftist Podcast. They have a fraction of the audience of other leftist podcasts and they are using it to organize. They made an org and have irl meetings.

    Chapo has 50 000 paypigs and many more non-paying listeners. They are using that platform to complain about the posts that they saw on twitter that day (while playing CS:GO at the same time). We are living in the end times, any leftist platform that has more than 10k followers and isn’t using it to do the bare minimum of organizing is LIB shit

    I don’t think that they see themselves as promoting any kind of anti-capitalist organizing (in fact, they have stated a couple of times that they are afraid that they might be doing the complete opposite by providing their entertainment and discussion as a replacement for real organizing), but do believe that they may be doing some good by potentially motivating some very few people of their audience to actually join their local organizations and do something who would otherwise not have done so. As @[email protected] said on here, the podcast is mostly only entertainment, and the real organizing happens within the party and on the streets and I think the trio agrees with that notion.

    Anyway, JT is on hexbear, so maybe he sees this and says what he actually thinks, rather than my probably inaccurate paraphrasing of the views they expressed on episodes I only vaguely remember.

      Actually I only made this post so someone would give me a pirate link like I got for true anon

        • Using an adblocker and a scriptblocker, I checked it out and it looks legit. It has the episode in question in OP as well as the Streets episode @[email protected] mentioned in the comments.

          At this point I kind of feel like just saying fuck The Deprogram. I used to really like it, as a fan of all three of their individual youtube channels I was a listener from the first episode all the way until like episode 90 or somewhere around there. There was some other stuff that got on my nerves over time, but this switch to paywalling some of their episodes is bullshit. I understand they deserve to be compensated for what they do with the podcast, and I thought it was a great model that non-patreon listeners had to wait a week to hear each episode and that they did live Q&A sessions only for patrons, etc. I’m all for that. But to lock people out of content if they don’t pay a subscription fee is just fucking low imo. I realize other leftist podcasts do that too and I think that also fucking sucks. It is hypocritical of them, and it does make me lose respect for them.

          Anyway yes, thanks ByteFoolish, the above link should be fine for listening to those payblocked “patron only” episodes.

            It seems legit to me too, but I can’t get it to work. Either of the download links takes a million years only to show “no video with supported format or MIME type found” or whatever, I right click and select “save link” and then the download takes a million years also. I wonder if it’s just slow because of excessive traffic.

      This, but unironically.

      Y’all, does nobody here even have a subscription that they can just post for everyone else? I swear to fucking god, everyone wants to be a pirate but ain’t nobody wants to be a pirate. Being mad about a podcast on organizing and yet showing zero initiative.

        Why would anyone spend money on this even if it’s to share lmao. I listen to the boys sometimes for fun but buying hidden item games and cracking them is a better investment than doing so with comedy podcasts because you’ll be learning actual skills.
