Edit: I should say, she's actually pretty on board with the rich/corporations fucking up the world, but she blames black people, poor people, immigrants, young people, for their problems instead of seeing the larger implications.
Maybe a specific episode of Chapo, Citations Needed, documentary, etc, whatever, she's what I would call a very conservative lib
citations needed episode 106 "the sanitization of sanctions" might be a good one? but idk i think every episode they do is good lol, but I don't know your mom. you could maybe check through all their episodes for a topic that could appeal to her?
Disagree. It's a good episode but has a lot of very fast discussion where they throw out names like Samantha Powers etc but assume you A. already know who that is and B. know exactly how her actions and world view fit into the narrative.
Also they kind of rush through the actual discussion of how specifically sanctions can cause such dramatic harm, often their examples come across as marginal cases but they could have done a better job getting an academic to explain it in detail.
(I used that episode as a first episode for my partner last week, so I was actively listening through that lens lol)
I might recommend their GDP fetishism episode instead?
lol that's fair I was just trying to suggest an episode that showed how shitty democrats and republicans are, and it's one of the more recent ones I listened to that wasn't a 'news brief'
I'll probably save this for myself tbh lol
