Hello podcast thread, atypical seriouspost here. I have a boring manufacturing job now and they let us listen to podcasts/musics while we're exploited. Any suggestions for good anarchist-y podcasts? Or just generally humanistic leftism. I quite enjoy Srsly Wrong's focus on library socialism, for example. And if anyone has good statist-y podcasts that'd be nice, I've got 8 hours to fill after all. xoxo love u all

I feel a personal kinship with Bryan and Brett's pure hatred for all things ULINE

having had to visit their HQ up in Pleasant Prairie, I can say without any hesitation that it is a truly batshit crazy company

the last ULINE catalog I saw had a screed about how the sinister Chinese have a plot to take over the world via manufacturing 5G equipment and maybe also the radio signals are bad for you. no mention whatsoever that literally every other telecom equipment company sold off their production subsidiaries which is why china is the only people making them now.

In our old warehouse the location manager painted the floors white because he saw white floors on the cover of a Uline catalog. We literally painted the floors of that building two times a year trying to keep them white.

How? I mean. Ross man won’t vote for Bernie and this is just him reassuring Mayo and Warren fans. Also what has the left won by being “culturally superior”. ?

Yeah and you’re acting like the Comstock League is about to be restarted. Amber realizes that is laughable. I hope she is in a position of political power one day.

ya i hear that about pods, try to script mine in such a way that i don't soapbox but it still feels like a guy in a bar telling a story. gonna start adding a little more analysis but not too much, it's a narrative first and foremost i don't wanna tell listeners what to think.

Sometimes you dont even need to pirate to score a free ebook. I found a copy just by going to the publisher's site--the book was about the Paraguayan War by Thomas Wigham (The War Nerd had him on for an interview at some point) and it was a university publishing house, so their profit motive probably wasn't as strong as with private publishers
