I like them all individually but they're just not great at podcasting. It meanders too much and too much of it is "banter" that I don't care about when I read the episode title. It made me appreciate Will Menaker as a host a lot more, he does a great job keeping the Chapo episodes on track while also being funny himself.
Socialism is in your self interest because it materially benefits the majority of people. Capitalism benefits capitalists. It benefits the bourgeoisie and nobody else, and as time goes on, the bourgeoisie shrinks in numbers but only grows in wealth. You don't have to be an altruist or even a kind person to be a socialist. It's not in your self interest that everything you consume is becoming a monthly subscription service, it's not in your self interest that the planes you ride on are falling apart mid-air to benefit the Boeing shareholders' bank account, it's not in your self interest that you have to pay off medical debt your entire life because your healthcare system has been sold off to private corporations and it's not in your self interest that the planet is heating up to the point where it will turn into a 2nd Venus.
You can be a socialist for entirely selfish reasons. What capitalism has is the imaginary prospect of maybe, potentially someday becoming part of the oppressors. You can become the boot on someone else's neck, you can live entirely off the work of others and fly to Epstein Island to fuck 13-year-olds. There's a 99,9% chance your life will suck ass and you will forever be exploited and miserable, mostly depending on who your daddy is, but there is the 1 in 100,000,000 chance you will sell a jpeg of a monkey for $50M and become rich enough that rules and laws no longer apply to you. Socialism does not have this prospect, it promises a better life for everyone but no chance at becoming the next John McAffee or Sam Bankman-Fried.
But here's the thing: I don't think most people who subscribe to this ideology think they actually have a chance at becoming omega rich. They know they won't be. But they believe that those who are, have a right to be omega rich and taking their wealth away would be unjust, since they're the winners of capitalism. It is not about self interest for those people, it is entirely subservience. They would rather have their place at the bottom of the hierarchy because that's "just how the world is" rather than making things more equal and better for themselves in the process. It's simple peasant mentality.
Classified documents to the War Thunder forums?
I see, very interesting, however you are still handing it to redditors so therefore 
I can't believe these chuds still parrot this "Go woke, go broke" shit when it so verifiably isn't true. Apex Legends, Overwatch, League of Legends have all the minorities you could ever want in their games and they're still at the top of their genres. Apex has a trans woman voiced by an actual trans VA, to the point that they might actually be sincere about it and not just ticking off boxes. Cyberpunk and Baldur's Gate let you be gay and 
, they let you be a girl with a penis and everything too. They didn't go broke, did they?
It's so bizarre how they can ignore all this but then point to a single financial failure that has diversity and go "See, told ya! Go woke, go broke!"
Biden has also been dead for years but they haven't even bothered to find a body double, the US just has a literal rotting corpse as its head of state
Pewdiepie was the first youtuber to break the 100M mark and he definitely relied greatly on his personality.
The army is acting with total impunity. Israel needs the soldiers to commit atrocities to achieve its political goals (the ethnic cleansing of Gaza), but to do that they need to assure their soldiers that there will be no consequences. So no matter what the soldiers do, their spokespeople will go on TV and say with a 100% straight face that they have done no wrong. There must never be a precedent for accountability.
But because there is total impunity, the army is getting increasingly unhinged and they do absurd shit like looting underwear and posting it to tiktok. I think even an otherwise normal person can turn into a monster if they know there will be no consequences whatsoever for their actions. 19-year-old Israeli Lieutenant Commanders are being given an endless supply of weapons and a free pass to live out their most depraved violent fantasies on a civilian population, because Israel has to defend them if questioned or the entire house of cards will fall apart.
It's fascism in its purest form. Powerful institutions protecting supremacy of the oppressors.
Roko's Basilisk is a silly little sci-fi story that its creator calls a "thought experiment" because he considers himself an intellectual. Absolute moron.
X: Why would I join you guys
Hamas: Join us and you can change your name to Ahmad or something
Ahmad: Deal
Why would Ukraine do this? What would they possibly have to gain from this? I could maybe see a bunch of Azov Nazis planning this independently but I don't believe the Ukrainian government is behind this. They can barely find men for the front lines and I don't see how this helps, this is not gonna increase morale or anything.
