Okay so I've already read a LOT of reddit... too much really... Does that decade of reading reddit count towards this reading requirement?

no you have to read all of it or you're not a true comrade

you can replace 1 subreddit with 1 npr podcast

All things considered already considered all things. I think it should be worth 2 subreddits.

Okay awesome that fits my needs really well thank you!

all jokes aside i like how "leftist" ideas are becoming more mainstream and marketable but i dislike how they're being sold to us

"the boys" and "mr robot" are legitimately some of the best shows and i recommend them, and they have some good messages, anti-capitalist ones at that. but they don't dig very deep and they completely avoid concepts like "unions".

in "the boys", there are in-universe superheroes but also they make superhero movies, and the criticism ends at "haha sometimes superheroes are cringey" and not "hey, these super-expensive films couldn't exist in an ethical economic system", because that would implicate "the boys" irl as well.

It's recuperation. It will always happen, nothing to be done about it except not lose sight of what really matters.

Oh I actually didn't know the word for this, I appreciate it. It's good to have a word to put to this thing
