I used to listen to a podcast called The Deprogram as a comfort podcast but as time went on its hosts seemed to run out of things to say on communism so they started to give their limited views on life as episodes without any serious education about Marxism's connection to things like marriage, disability, health, and love. In this their privilege as cis het able bodied men came forward but I kept holding on for nostalgia but I have I finally let go of it.

I feel that, I stopped listening to them a long time ago even before I stopped moderating their subreddit lol.

My current favorites are Boonta Vista, Pod Damn America, and Trillbilly Workers Party

I left their subreddits a long time ago stuck with the podcast but it just became worst and worst, after a mail bag episode where Hakim justified pimping for revolutionary discipline and recent dating episode where yugopnik made a bad paste joke about being with someone for more than looks I said enough is enough, I gave them some chances but every time it is insensitivity and talk about middle class problems

Hakim justified pimping for revolutionary discipline

I'm sorry what

[–] Letztertod@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Pimping as in an abusive practice done by professors not the sexual exploitation. Pimping in a academics of speciality like law, medicine, and computer science is a practice which means that the professor will always ask a student who is weak in a subject the toughest questions about said subject and then humiliate them when they predictably fail. This occurs for many things sometimes entire class is targeted for their footwear or eating habits, calling their past achievements nothing and that they are only worth anything if they pass the professor's course.

It is, that's how most of the schools are, at least in most of West and South Asia

I should start listening to TWP. Boonta Vista is as good as it's ever been imo.
