It feels like every time I find a podcast about security/networking/technology the hosts end up saying some pretty off-color stuff, or I look them up and they also host right wing podcasts. Are there any that are more leftist, hosted by LGBT peeps, or at least not actively bigoted ?

      Half-baked? This is an extremely dumbed down version. Do you have anything to say besides generalized, witty, one liners? Do you even have any idea what I’m saying? Like, bro.

      Ruling class won’t let us have affordable housing, healthcare and education… And we work for all of it lol

      This is you. Who’s the ruling class again?

        I am all about naming them but you know the list of Oligarchs who own significant portions of US and/or global economy in key sectors as such energy, retail, tech, pharma etc Gates, Elon, google clown, Kucks etc They collude with political leadership at state and federal level to obtain preferential treatment, bailouts/handouts and suppress the working people’s interests esp in housing, healthcare and education.

        As I said above, this is not left/right issue since when “left” has power nothing has been done since FDR was president imho Their politics are just less divisive, ie the good cop. While “right” is the bad cop. Peasants fight squabbling whose daddy is better while they beat their moms.

        However, people on the left keep hoping if we get “our guys” in we will get results… where are the results? Biden and Obama both had Congress and nothing got done. Life for working people has deteriorated to the point where majority live in neo feudal poverty. Political process is captured and as a working person, voting with your feet/wallet yields better result than participating in the political process.

          So… what you’re saying is that you’re just anti-capitalist, or in other words, far left, you realise that, right? You just have a US-centric view on politics, where “left” and “right”, have no meaning, because it’s neoliberal capitalism on both sides.

            You are the one trying to box me into left/right thing. I’ve sad alreeady I am the bottom like vast majority of us here.

            Primary issues that concern me are housing, education, and healthcare so that’s what I spend my time shilling. I think every one besides the silverpsoon-nepo brigade can agree on these things.

            Playing left/right circle jerk is essentially being US-centric. The whole point on both sides if that fringe elements “going to ruin the country” so I need to battle some alt left/right clowns to same America…

            Bro… America is getting ruined as is and it has nothing to do with fringe degenerates, it is being ruined in DC and your state capital. We are all paying for it and we get very little services for what me way.

            But sure nazis/commies did this is to us not old geriatric clowns with all the money and power.

              I’m not from the US, and I’m a “commie”, in some sense of the word. So don’t believe I give two shits about that label.

              But be extremely careful when you try to advocate for change and mention nazis as a driving force of change. Because nazis definitely didn’t do that to you, because they didn’t rule in the US, but they also didn’t help you- instead, they actively fought against societal change. History has focused on the massive crimes of fascist nations( and rightly so lol), and we tend to forget what it is at it’s core.
              Even if we move past the blatantly hateful, racist, anti-scientific,anti-semitic and generally disgusting rhetoric of fascism(and that in itself, is a pretty fucking large concession):

              Fascism (nazis) always supported the capitalist class. Always.
              Fascism is NOT an alternative to capitalism, it never was, and it never will be. Fascism is simply a more raw version of capitalism, one that does not try to hide it’s assault on the working class, on the oppressed, on minorities. Every single iteration of fascism attempts to crush every movement within society that attempts to drive it forward, to give power to the workers, to the oppressed, to minorities. And that is most definitely not anti-systemic.

              Did capitalists lose power after Hitler became dictator? Did capitalists lose power after Mussolini did the same?
              Why did multiple german companies support hitler’s rise to power? Why does the bourgeoisie in general support fascists?
              Because fascists serve capitalism, despite their vague claims of being “anti-systemic” or “revolutionaries”. Fascism is forced class collaboration- it protects the interests of the bourgeoisie that leeches off the workers’ through rampant anti-communism. Today, fascists don’t support strikes, they break them up, all over the world. And that is how Mussolini and the fascisti also initially gained the support of the bourgeoisie.

              Even within the NSDAP(the nazi party in germany), there was a “revolutionary” movement - the one spearheaded by Rohm, one that called for redistribution of wealth. But because Hitler himself had powerful capitalist/industrial allies, guess what happened to Rohm and all his supporters. I’ll let you look it up.
