    The above demonstrates yet another western leftist who is yet to develop adequate social skills and is just fuel on the fire of my criticisms for them lately…I have not been listening to their podcast consistently and so I cannot say when their content became disheartening, however the latest episode left much to be desired to say the least. It troubled me listening to it.

    This is very similar to the Black Agenda Report situation from a month or so back; I am weary to write-off a notable leftist due to a recent hickup in content. And this is not the wrong decision imo, everyone makes mistakes and stumbles from time to time.

    I have also not been following their content much recently and so this could very well be the latest example of a long-since massive shift for the worst, I don’t know. One thing I do know is that the above is very much a hot take.

      yeah, i have heard some things from yugopnik in particular that sound pretty ultra, which was disappointing. jt and hakim seem generally better on that, tho, or at least they focus more on the failings of the west than the perceived inadequacies of aes countries.
