Has anyone watched the new episode from First Thought/JT?
Damn there’s a lot of dare I say reactionary opinions here. First of all, who the hell cares if a single person who does socialist videos sells out, they gotta make a living too. And socialism is not a poverty cult. Stop worshipping figure heads.
If you find the coverage too liberal, well it’s not for you.
Go read theory. Go do praxis.
That’s a fair point, and I sort of regretted the comment afterwards. From my perspective, first thought hasn’t been as good content wise as Second thought or the Deprogram. So I’m going to assume either it was just a meh video, or they are winding down firstthought operations.
Yeah, I think it’s hard to maintain a communist podcast for this length of time tbh. Especially maintaining the entertainment factor. It’s probably inevitable, given that so many creators end up being more moderate, due to profit motive etc.etc.
I do think the best thing they could do is drop first thought, and maybe wrap some of the ideas into the Deprogram. Sort news and news analysis, theory, and shit posting.
I started going down the leftist pipeline a few months before they launched the podcast. When I heard about it, it seemed perfect for me - something to deprogram liberals and get into more complex topics as time goes on. Learned a lot at first, but after about 6 months or so I started viewing it as entertainment. And I’m not an avid theory reader or anything. They still discuss some interesting topics, but it’s really not radical at all and it has gotten to a point where it keeps baby leftists stuck at the start of the pipeline, instead of pushing them further
