The idea that the Palestinian people have only been able to persist because of their religion is ridiculous to me. They are resisting because colonialism, apartheid and genocide are very bad things to which nobody would want to be subjected, not because of Islam. If Palestinians were atheists, is he suggesting that they wouldn't have the strength or the will to resist? Would their lack of a belief in the supernatural turn them into doormats for Isn'treal?
I like Hakim's content, but his position on religion is quite frustrating. He is a Muslim first and a Marxist second. Also, Joram van Klaveren is still a right-winger.
Most likely in my mind. The first one is more for fun.
They have an extremely popular podcast. One has a dead end office job, another has a young child, and the third is an overworked public servant. Of course they would cash in the first chance they get the carrot dangled in front of them. Plus with Patreon going downhill fast, it makes sense to cash in while they can.
I think it's more of the show having to be uploaded on a weekly basis on heavily censored platforms like YouTube they are limited, and they start running out of topics, content and guests to talk to, so they just push out less stuff, it's not a big conspiracy, it's just the limits of having to work in capitalism.
That doesn’t excuse it in the slightest.
“Cost of doing business in capitalism”, isn’t a justification to start putting out shovelware garbage that’s muddying the waters of what they wanted to accomplish in the first place.
Other podcasts have worked in these limits before. If they could do it, so can the Deprogram.
I never said it was a conspiracy. They’re just selling out.
