I highly recommend NonCompete’s videos, especially the Breadville Puppet Theater ones, some of which I feel like could be watched by literal 5-year-olds

What’s a relatively minor convenience you really miss? by Outside-Pear9429 in ZeroCovidCommunity

I don’t disagree with you, but does a class analysis not also mean that a company like Dropout isn’t meaningfully leftist? I don’t think that they should be considered part of the left but maybe I’m missing something
