you're totally right, tbh

Big fan of this pod but this ep felt like navel gazing to me. I get it's your podcast and you should focus on the things that interest you. We also need to zoom in on issues, but at this critical juncture i feel that we should only be doing so if they present broader, more relevant insights and I'm not sure if this really does that or this mileu represents that. Always ready to be wrong though, and only time will tell

Lmao that is just not the case

Personally I’m a lot more worried about 5000 former DSA members in Brooklyn falling into the NGOs and the Democratic Party than I am about a few hundred rich nihilists in Manhattan doing edgelord experiments with reactionary money

Damning implications for “the left” in 2023 if the right wing cultural milieu has a dialectical relationship with centrist liberalism and not say, the listenership of this show

I think the basis of present leftist discourse is polemic and not dialectic
