Only problem with deprogram i have is them bringing brace belden on (essentially an imperialist adventurer, knowingly or unknowingly). There are legit criticisms but it’s not the ones libs would make.
Brace Belden went to Syria to fight for rojava which ended up just being a trojan horse for US occupation of Syria. I used to enjoy True Anon, until east is a podcast pointed this out. Then it got tougher to listen to.
Yeah, I remember a trueanon patreon ep where he brought on a guest that wrote the article or whatever that convinced him to go. In the comment section someone pointed out that this made him an imperialist and especially one on a weak whim and he brushed it off and got defensive.
You can tell by my comment that I was literally a paid patreon subscriber, so it’s not like I was looking for reasons to dislike the pod or whatever. There are still eps I listen to, but def not a paid subscriber. I don’t look for reasons to dismiss anyone, but sometimes that’s where things end up.

Whats wrong with Truanon? I’ve like only heard the attack therapy series and the Black Hammer episode.

Edit, apologies: let me add the context:
war is hell pt 1
war is hell pt 2
I think it comes up towards the beginning of pt 2.
Does he still hold that that action was right? That war was complicated, it would have been reasonable to have been confused at the time.

Bringing Syomin on was also a mistake, imo.
I have listened to the episodes with him but I have no idea who he is outside of that. Could you please elaborate?
Well, he’s nobody outside of that, that’s the issue. He’s just a doomer with bad China takes.
Ah ok. Yeah his “WW III” is definitely coming stuff did pull me down for a good few hours. So I get what you mean.
