"As revolutionaries, we don't have the right to say that we're tired of explaining. We must never stop explaining. We also know that when the people understand, they cannot but follow us. In any case, we, the people, have no enemies when it comes to peoples. Our only enemies are the imperialist regimes and organizations." Thomas Sankara, 1985

As pointed out in the comments, the weekly podcast could also serve as a more general thread for broader topics that are not necessarily mentioned in the podcast itself but aren't "worthy" of a separate post altogether

I love that they gave Hakim's Lenin self-insert the parrot hair cut he ranted about in one of the earlier episodes. Beautiful in-joke.

Why don't we just title these threads 'discussion threads'?

There's a perfectly good explanation...I hadn't thought about it lol

But it's a good suggestion!

Edit: title changed

Thank you for considering it and then implementing it, comrade.

It's very funny to me that they mention not knowing where Yugopnik was, when he was livestreaming at the time. We got all three of them reacting to the assassination in different places.

during yugopniks stream he was live during the shooting but went off air until it was confirmed he was dead. It came like 30 mins later. Im guessing yugo went to a private private thing after? or both the uncs are just incredibly slow.

Wait, I only saw the part where he was smokin that packwatch - anyways, what did Hakim and JT think?

The sheer aura he emitted in that clip!

Only reason I used reddit was for that deprogram and few niche subs.

Fuck reddit. I had saved so many things from deprogram

[–] Cycrum@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 week ago

Same. I had bookmarked so many posts from there

Hey if you happened to have caught a bunch of the auto-mod copy and paste's, it'd be great to throw them up. The one on the black book, the holodomor, vaushfacts, feudal history of tibet, and the events in Xingang would be fantastic to have again. There were a good half dozen other auto-moderators that were dang nice to have that are very gone now =/
