    So you kinda can’t get directly to where you wanna be from where you are.

    Everybody’s got preconceived notions and grows up in propaganda and it takes a little while to get used to the They Live glasses and start really operating based on the perception you get through them.

    I would recommend citations needed, blowback and the deprogram first and foremost and once you’re through those revisit the question.

    Those three are primarily for a western audience. I assumed since you’re posting in English and on Midwest.social but if you’re from like idk India or South Africa lmk and I’ll try to dig equivalent stuff up.

      Yeah, that sounds good. I already started with the Deprogram yesterday and it seems like a pretty good start.

        The afrika baambaata sample in blowbacks intro always gets me pumped. Probably half of getting people to recommend your shit is getting them in the mood you want em in to enjoy it from the jump.

        Honestly the Deprogram doesn’t actually do all that much deprogramming, it’s more venting and news and analysis and spotlights for people who are already into socialism.

        Historicly.net is a good podcast for laying out the scale of how various forms of oppression evolved together, and challenging the victor’s narrative of history.
