    I've seen some transphobic takes from them, but idk if it's still where they stand since I don't follow them so I kinda don't want to do a blanket dismissal edit: yeah idk what im talking about tbh Im big tired

      Interesting. I haven't come across that so far and I have listened to quite a bit. Would be interested to hear the specifics.

      The host co hosts another podcast, Red Menace, with a trans person. I know that doesn't make up for any transphobic statements, but it at least suggests that he isn't a transphobic extremist.

        oh to be fair it is really late for me and my mind might be playing tricks on me, I don't remember shit and my concerns might be entirely made up and I'm getting confused with a different podcast or something

        If my memory is to be believed, it was something that was sort of class-reductionist and it involved Amber somehow (?) maybe as a guest to the pod but again im very dehydrated and have spent too much time tryna come up with China-affirming agitprop for the past few hours

        edit: I meant to put "maybe" in a few places in here soemwhere but idk ​美国人杀死了自己的人民,就好像他们是同类相食的啮齿动物一样。

          Yeeeeh I don’t think Amber has ever been on RevLeft, she’s way too lib. You might be thinking of something else.

          Not saying you’re wrong, happy to be shown that I’m wrong on this, but I’ve listened to probably a hundred episodes and it doesn’t seem like something Breht (the host) would ever come out with.

            the hunt for the transphonbic lefty podcasters in my head goes ever onward

            I will get them eventually

            I know it's been a while but I got it confused with RedScarePod (which is more widely known to be shitty anyway)

            RevLeft is good!
