terrorist ambulance posted:Richard Wolff is on the Depeogram this week which is a decent comedy / politics podcast No matter what podcast Wolff is on, the host pretty much just points him to a subject and lets him loose. Which I think is great, because there are few others I'd trust for economic analysis other than Wolff.

Workers that are confined to an office are easier to control and surveil, not just in terms of keeping tabs on unionizing efforts but micromanagement that wrings every erg of work out of employees.

For me, it's all about choice. Some people like going into the office for whatever reason, and others prefer to skip soul crushing commutes and office drudgery to work from home. They both should be able to choose how their professional lives go, but capitalism doesn't allow for control over your own life because it's more profitable to keep you desperate and miserable.

FlamingLiberal posted:having these very cushy jobs where they can just poo poo out trash content whenever they feel like it On that same note, I listened to the Megan McGriddle 'pie rant' episode a little while ago. At least Kass kinda had a point about the queen, maybe, if you squint hard enough. The pie column reminded me of something I might have written in high school just to have something to turn in.

After the past four years, I can't rule out the wackiest possibilities. Kanye running so that chuds can point to him and say, "We're not racist! Look, we support One Of The Good Ones" is not terribly likely but plausible.

Sephyr posted:Kanye's Bush quote would just be fodder for his redemption arc. "Here, look how far I have come, now I see the light!" Or maybe not even that is needed. Just go "yeah, Bush was RINO lib, loved wars and dhit, fought outside the country when the real enemy was within!" True, but I have my doubts that Kanye would be smart or savvy enough to pull that off. It's not so much that he's not smart as he's so mentally unwell that I don't know what goes on in his head.

I majored in computer science but I'll never understand the kind of techbro dorks who think they're god's gift to society because they know how to code. One of the most important things that college taught me was that I wasn't nearly as smart as I thought I was, and that there's a lot I don't know about CS and programming. e: You may not like it, but this is peak masculinity -  Only the best genes from the billionaire whose face looks like a puckered rear end in a top hat.

I don't usually mind Felix too much, but I listened to the clip discussing the Liz Koch article and his interruptions and irrelevant comments were frustrating. I'd have rather heard Matt's takes than Felix's. Good segment, though.

Of course now that these ghouls got what they want - health care for life - they can admit that "Havana Syndrome" was bullshit. This trick gets pulled all the time and the people who do it always think we're too dumb to notice.

Kind of a mid episode for me. I liked the guests but most of the readings, save for the "podcast bro" one at the end, were not all that interesting. Felix didn't seem as...stoned out of his gourd (?) this time.

Well, give it time. Going all in on "groomers" and trans people didn't work this time, but if they keep pushing the point they might succeed in turning public opinion....maybe. I'm reluctant to underestimate the stupidity of average Americans and their vulnerability to punching down.

I can't really blame him for that. Who the hell wants to sit through that boring  fest? The fact that royalty still exists in the 21st century is really bizarre to me. It's a relic of the Middle Ages that we just haven't seemed to get rid of.

I don't mind the Chapo boys being fans of Cameron, but the way that hymn the Avatar movies as modern masterpieces is odd to me. I saw the original Avatar last fall. It was fine, but nothing special.

Turns out that people like Obama aren't responsible for the working class' declining quality of life. It's all because we just stopped watching working class TV in the '70s.

Thomas is a really interesting cautionary tale for the left in a way. His pessimism about electoralism and working with the democrats is very understandable and correct, but the nihilistic, "Well, might as well just get mine and gently caress the rest of you" is the danger of letting that cynicism go too far. I still think Thomas is a piece of poo poo, but I actually understand him a bit better now that I've been listening to this episode.

Like leftism, I was way late to the game getting into Chapo. I listened to a fair amount of Pod Johns content in 2017, but then August 12th happened and that belatedly put me on course to embracing leftism. I don't think I started listening to Chapo until 2018, around the time AOC was beginning to get national attention.
