Deified Data posted:Goddamn Struggle Session sucks though. Love firing up an episode for a leftist critique of media only to get an hour of why things they like are cool and good while things they don't are vapid cultural dreck, completely arbitrarily. Yeah I'm 100% with you on this. I loved what I heard from Leslie on other podcasts, then the first episode I tuned in on had him saying that he hated "Breath of the Wild." It was obvious he was just saying it to hate on something that was popular and didn't have any substantive complaints.

TheBalor posted:To be fair, that's one of the most heated discussions in the whole pod, with the other hosts audibly incredulous at what he's saying. Yeah I appreciated that. I'll probably give it another chance at some point. I just wasn't in the mood to listen to someone so smart be so loving stolidly dumb for an hour or so.

Atrocious Joe posted:This exchange on the last Citations Needed killed me I haven't listened to this episode, but I imagine everyone listening to Citations Needed is already on the same page on why the bourgeois media ACTUALLY trains its sights so consistently on the left. There was still probably a fruitful discussion to have on the topic, but the hosts do talk about it a lot, and I'll bet they get tired and a bit demoralized from having to do so regularly.

Optimus Subprime posted:The Revolutions podcast episode on historical materialism is a pretty succinct and clear explanation on basic Marxist theory. I thought Mike Duncan did a really good job on that episode to make the ideas of Marxism approachable and demystified from a lot of the lofty language that developed around Marxism and communism in the 20th century. Yeah, he's a smart dude, and I'm glad he's coming into the light. We'll make a good Posadist of him yet.

Breakfast All Day posted:was going to recommend this. its one of the best podcasts around, hands down -- accessible to interested laypeople while still being precise enough and interesting if you have a background in any of the fields he covers. does a long series of episodes on islamic philosophy, and spinoffs/alternate episodes for india, africa, and recently china  He did like a year's worth on Byzantine philosophy. I can't even begin to tell you how loving awesome I find that.

Subvisual Haze posted:Moore seemed to echo the “demographics is destiny” line that has been predicting the imminent demise of the GOP for over a decade. I think his point was more along the lines of, "Way more people in the U.S. support the left's positions than oppose them, and that's only getting to be more the case each year; if the Dems actually ran left, they'd win bigly."
