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.

Honestly, I tried listening and I never found them particularly insightful. Maybe I've been listening to wrong episodes.

I also had to abandon Chapo for some time (and I'm saying "for some time" because I know I'm coming back to the slop trough). Their current arc is nauseating. There are elections happening in the US and they are doing the same thing they fell for a 100 times before - oh, look at this "progressive" running for the hitler-crats, let's praise them now and learn no lesson from their inevitable failure! Shouldn't you be more cynical by now? Also it's not the same without Matt.
