  • Next thing you know we’ll take your and your friend’s toothbrush, too.

    Both of those barely fit the 1st category. Most people here (me included) will have choice words about the hosts of either podcast, but let’s leave it at them being clueless radlibs, if not worse.

    In their current state, I wouldn’t even consider them part of a “pipeline” (i guess that’s what you meant by “that’s how they get you”). True Anon is way more funny and interesting, and the people hosting it seem to have much more coherent politics.

        Early trump chapo hit different though, then the Bernie campaign happened. Rn it’s a funny comedy podcast about American politics with hosts a bit less clueless about the ills of capitalism than your average host, but I don’t see them introducing anyone to anything else than “both parties fucking suck” as an idea.

      True anon is my go to listen. Early trueanon focused on Epstein, but after year 1 it shifted to be more generally about a leftwing look of historical people and events.

      And funny.

      And this year has shifted in tone again. In a good way. It seems more focused on issues that are important to the left. Organizing, unions, human rights issues, international politics, etc.
