Thanks for all the advice! Thinking Flex-launcher might suit my needs. Kodi with the jellyfin plugin is my current setup, definitely should have said that lol. This works very well for watching movies but not the rest of what I'm looking for

The ui is clean and intuitive and it actually handles podcasts with multiple feeds (patron/free) well (other apps I've used were quite annoying with that). Being able to tag all your podcasts is also really nice for organization, especially if you have a lot of podcasts that you aren't listening to every episode of. My only complaint was that the default settings are to download a podcast when you click on it instead if stream, but that is easily changed with one setting switch

No

I should have clarified that I'm not against socialism, just the hierarchy of states. We should instead pursue more egalitarian socialist expressions like social ecology or kinds of anarchy.

Seems to me that about once a generation people allow the states they live in (and corporations they work for) to concentrate power to a point where it cannot be overlooked anymore? Kinda feel like you already have an answer you want tho (apologies if that's not the case).

Power not Greed. People don't hoard wealth just to look at a pile of coins, they do it to control other people

And unfortunately, USSR falls smack damn on the barbarism side of that divide

(Hierarchical) Power in general is the root cause, not Capitalism in particular
