Brace didn't fight against US interests though, the YPG was allied with the US at the time.
Matt's philosophy is definitely not only electoralism. He's spoken plenty of times about how useless it is without a worker's party. Logging off is not disregarding leftist organizing either. He's specifically talking about being a chronically online poster who's sum total engagement in politics is shitposting, memes, and consuming online media.
Also, forgot to add, they did go after Brace for being in the YPG. The Trump Admin used him as evidence for antifa being tied to foreign terrorist groups. His name was on literal government documents along with all his silly screen names.
Lol, in America being a trade unionist is about the only real way to do praxis currently. Forming a union then using that union to radicalize is good.
He does call himself a communist and his brewery union is affiliated with the Longshoreman union which is probably the best one in terms of internationalism and solidarity.
Now I like TrueAnon, I think they do a great job of covering important topics from a class-aware perspective and they don't punch down.
Saying that, I'm suspicious on how slick the show is. Even from the beginning, the production is great. Original music. Good rapport between Brace and Liz (that hasn't changed too much either). In contrast most left wing podcasts have horrible production.

i'm not saying everyone must listen to the pod, but it's really obvious when someone's talking about the pod without having listened to it since 2016

Probably because that's all he has done?
Brace is a muckraker celebrity journalist who spent a year embedded with the YPG. He's a shameless blowhard, not a Communist revolutionary.
He did organize Anchor Brewing
So he's a Trade Unionist. Even worse.

Fair enough.
