I haven't listened in so long, I can't even remember. but 10 years ago it was a real cultural moment. for this group of younger, engaged people to suddenly have a platform and find an audience eager for the kind of radioactive-to-legacy-media takes like "why can't we even ask for universal healthcare anymore without being infantilized?" or "unions help workers".
and their constant takedowns of these sniveling, institutionally inbred "contributors" in the press that are always receiving a platform to tell us all that we should be grateful for our scraps, to stop whining about the cost of empire, and to embrace the latest focus grouped push poll that says everything is fine and there's no alternative to the latest degradation being foisted upon us by billionaires.
it was eye opening to learn how terrible all these people were, how dogshit wrong they had been their whole lives about everything, only to be recycled over and over in editorial rooms and given a professionally cleaned slate.
