  • Constructive Criticism

    Overall the show is a good source of information regarding the far-right. However, there’s a tendency to fall into the “no true Scotsman” bit where the hosts feel like they’re the only real leftists and anyone who engages in politics in another way (chiefly electoralism) isn’t a leftist. Not often, but occasionally, the hosts just start whining that they aren’t invited on larger platforms. Who cares, man? I don’t need half of a 100 minute episode about graham platner’s SA to be a repetitive I to... more

  • Don’t waste your time

    If you’re into teenage jokes, uneducated takes, a lack of research, immature interviews and heavily doctored clip cutting for marketing engagement, this podcast is for you.

    It’s irresponsible and dangerous, and doesn’t even pretend to have integrity.

  • Leftist Statler and Waldorf but less funny.

    I have listened to this podcast on and off for years. It’s not that I take issue with their opinions, broadly I agree. But the ‘more leftist than thou’ vibe is really strong.

    1. Reasons for military service are complex. While you did acknowledge that briefly, you seem to think that you can tell from the outside how people feel about their service. Platner can go rot, but there is a way to talk about military service that isn’t smug, more leftist than thou, and implying that anyone who doesn’t ... more

  • So much fluff

    The hosts spend 40% of the podcast on irrelevant guff and immature anecdotes, they clearly have no editor and seem to be unaware that people want to listen to their thoughts on the stated topic, not just general silly chit chat. Constant tangents into tangent make this podcast almost unlistenable.

    Recent Nuremberg episode failed to alert the listener to the various primary sources particularly by Goldensholn and Tulsa.

    Be aware that only 20% of what’s said is actually about the stated topic,... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

145: The Attack on the San Diego Islamic Center, with MsEntropy
Q: Why is it important to discuss the manifesto and the online ecosystem surrounding it?
Because the manifesto mirrors long-standing accelerationist rhetoric and because mainstream attention can propagate dangerous propaganda if the online and offline networks behind these attacks are not understood and contextualized.
145: The Attack on the San Diego Islamic Center, with MsEntropy
Q: What happened in San Diego that prompted this episode?
The hosts summarize a mass casualty event at the largest Islamic Center in San Diego, noting two shooters, a wounded landscaper, and subsequent investigation details, including the broader impact on the local Muslim and Latino communities.
135: The Death and Life of Charlie Kirk
Q: What do you think the effect is going to be in terms of the rights?
The reaction will be to unify the right and push against the left, possibly leading to increased repression against dissent.
