Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I was already an ML by the time The Deprogram started so only caught a few episodes. Seemed like a fine introduction for newer leftists, and the cishet male homogeneity was at least partially offset by the international perspectives.
I'm stuck in a similar position as I am with Hasan where I think they're a net positive but since I'm not the target demo it's not worth dozens of hours of my time to really engage with and critique them. But I still feel the urge to critically support and defend people putting in the work to normalize socialism and educate the masses, especially since they're all always under attack from liberal and zionist psyops (one of the boys being dismissive of Israeli atrocity propaganda getting them kicked off Nebula was very revealing, for example)
No investigation no right to speak, though, so I'll just sorta sit back and hope they're a net positive influence lol
