    For antifada I stopped when they read out this formal pre-written statement about Palestine in one episode. It seemed like they were walking on eggshells (with their audience?) and I didn't understand why. Varn and Sean also said Michael Hudson is antisemitic when he talks about finance capitalism. They're weird on foreign policy. They had good strike news update episodes though. I'll check this ep though, one for old time's sake.

      That's wild. Imagine the first thing you think when someone brings up finance capitalism is "hey, it sounds like they're talking about Jewish people!" and then blaming them for being antisemitic
