I will be watching this.

that actually sounds good

If you really cared about union jobs, you would abolish the right to work and anti union laws Joe.

That's a good point about soros actually. Spreading it in memes actually works.

I know it is itself a meme on here but the meme war does have an effect on people's perceptions, especially terminally online boomers. If it's our ideas out on the table in meme form then that can only be good. And if those memes are pointing at overtly corrupt people then that will cause anger. Everyone hates corruption except oligarchs, even the right.

I completely agree. And knowledge for its own sake is worth having, it gives you power. I'm legitimately asking what we do with the knowledge? How can we use it to effect change in our workplace or our communities?

I think what happens is that these podcasts are serving as an introduction to the shady shit that oligarchs do and to left wing views in general.

The issue is that they never go further. What you're talking about is a combination of investigative journalism and propagandising on behalf of the left. I can see this working well in unions and other collective action organisations where you can get a mass of people to do something about it instead of just consuming like on a podcast.

The issue is what do we do about it. Because even if you find out who these people are and who they're donating to then it's not going to make a lick of difference. Even if we bombard legislators with emails telling them to return the donations, they're going to turn around and say no. No one is going to go out and protest a donation to a politician.

The Aussie guy is on an Aussie leftist pod called Boontavista, it's very good.

Chapo introduced me to Trashfuture and has surpassed it for me.

They have actual comedians (Milo, though he can be annoying sometimes) and Riley's comments about the economy are super insightful.
