The Deprogram podcast really dropped an episode called Movement Building behind a paywall
The Deprogram podcast really dropped an episode called Movement Building behind a paywall
Hm. Okay.
The Deprogram is treats not theory. People who treat it like theory, even a little, are extremely frustrating to talk to/organize with.
i like to think of it as basically a dirtbag (hard)left late night talkshow-type podcast
I don't like to be all preachy about peoples treats, I get annoyed when people try to tell me that my slop is bad or somehow dangerous, as if there aren't about 1000 worse ways to burn holes in my brain than putting a podcast on in the background while doing dishes or driving or whatever. I'm a grown ass adult and I read a good amount and have lots of political discussions and organize in my spare time, its not like I'm some teenager being introduced to these ideas for the first, or even the 50th time.
But my dealings with people in their communities,and I've also heard this from other comrades, have been difficult. I don't blame the hosts, but I'm suspicious of these platforms, the way they manipulate creators and consumers of content, it always seems to go badly. Idk maybe I'm just an old fuck
I had extra fiber supplement so I also have a Movement Building
That pig built a movement on his balls
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
shit
What's their org called?
It's called the Independent Workers Club, they have a public meeting in NYC today
Step one: acquire funds
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.
Actually I only made this post so someone would give me a pirate link like I got for true anon
Someone posted this link to a Patreon pirate archive the other day. I saved it but haven't checked it out yet. So use adblock and use at your own risk etc.
Everything I Used To Love Has Turned To Shit™
They release all their stuff for free a week or two later, the patron just gets it early afaik
No this one is patreon exclusive. Also What We Boutta Do 2 - The Streets. Everything cool is paywalled.
Oh my bad. I didn't mean to speak nonsense. IT WILL NOT DO! IT WILL NOT DO!
They still haven't released the full-length version of "What We Boutta Do 2" and that was posted 4 weeks ago
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 Deprogram has fallen.
Millions must subscribe to Destiny
as a bit: lol
considering the implications of said bit: uhhh bit cringe
Now we will never learn how to build a movement. It's over
They should just become a ttrpg actual play podcast, they're just parasocial slop-mongers either way
lmao
Every "leftist" YouTuber is a grifting liberal aren't they?
Everyone except Vaush. He's a true Maoist.
not me I'm the One Leftist
uphold Marxism-Leninism-Apex Legendsism
lets just say this episode moved them into a bigger building
Also charge the most out of any left podcast for it.
It's a good bit.
I thought they released everything for free like a week later. Maybe I'm making that up.
No that's correct, they do this every week
Was it ever worthwhile at all? I remember listening to a few episodes early on but it felt empty, just parasocial shit pretending it's some theory-heavy deep talk.
That said, I never really liked Yugopnik or Second Thought - first felt a bit try-hard (and I was over the dirtbag style when I found him), the other, ironically, too "clean", kind of making himself algortithm friendly in my opinion. Hakim was alright though.
Or maybe I'm just not really into this particular kind of slop.
Second Thought's whole thing is to bring new people into the movement, and hopefully, act as a stepping stone to further radicalization. His stuff isn't really for people who are already communists.
I like them all individually but they're just not great at podcasting. It meanders too much and too much of it is "banter" that I don't care about when I read the episode title. It made me appreciate Will Menaker as a host a lot more, he does a great job keeping the Chapo episodes on track while also being funny himself.
April Fools episode?
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 @Juice@hexbear.net 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.
Rebels Steps is completely free.
Good work, comrade
