1860s? really? gee, what's 20 years among friends, eh? they Haymarket anarchists were executed in 1887.
everyone knows this.

Cool ppl who do cool stuff on cool anarchist media like iHeartRadio (Clear Channel).

I want to like this podcast, but I'm unable to see past the glaring use of iHeartRadio to host your somewhat related anarchist podcast. It's nice that you are able to make some money to make a living off of this cool stuff, but is no one going to come at them hard like what the hell - why are you on some terrible corporation for a host? This is like way bigger than when Against Me! sold out and folk punk died.

My only answer is that they must be making bank off the podcast along with Robert Evans who also has a show on iHeartRadio. Is having a platform on corporate podcast radio platforming fascism? Shane Burley and company would agree.

'member @bang?

Also plenty of anarchist Youtubers, starting with Cyberdandy who's doing a very good job regardless. Commies also being massively Spotified or Twitched.

The critcism of these choices does make sense, but there's the fasct that, in the end, regardless of where you out up your podcast, voices and sometimes faces of people will stay recorded anyways. It'll stay there on the net for all to see.. So I think that's the reasoning these podcasters have, that as long as anyone showing up on their podcast can deal with the conmsequences of being recorded, it's not a big deal.

Tho platforms that claim all your data as their own (like the Fedbook), they're indeed choices to avoid.

Was all of that typed on a corporate device? Probably.

One is also probably consuming microplastics and forever chemicals whether one plays along or not.

We do need more infrastructure. However, quite a lot of humans are already comprimised. Using Burley's logic, can clear lines even be drawn anymore? Doubtful. If I'm walking in a public park and someone is listening to music and I hear an ad is that fascism? There's not really a choice there.

Anyone informed the Burley Gang that racist Islamophobia camouflaged as anti-fascism is still racist Islamophobia?

As long as iHeartRadio doesn't have Palestinians on then network then Shane's gang say it isn't fascist. What Naftali Bennett says goes.

The above presumed anarchist should stop complaining and distribute the audio on their uber-pure peer-2-peer network themselves. It’s 2022 asswipe, you should be able to figure out how to do this if you’re so worried about capitalist platforms.

Also these were great episodes.
