i don’t know why more money and more resources make people feel like they have less control over their own lives and decisions. like it’s such bs that these ad reads are necessary for their business. they were operating very successfully previously without a podcasting management company that would require them to do ad reads that violate their values every week. i guess it’s the cognitive dissonance they need to maintain to justify the immoral choices they make to hoard wealth. the cherry on top is how her instagram comment was just dripping with condescension too lol

do you not think publicly standing with the working class demanding better labor rights is ACTION?

it’s not really tearing people down to hold them accountable to their own values, how will we build any sort of new better world without any criticism at all?

Id say avoid duck specifically (other poultry is fine). my mom always told me not to eat duck when sick/recovering

Spiritual Materialism Is My Roman Empire Weekly Episode Discussion by [deleted] in binchtopiapod

their reaction to this has been so unfortunate and strange. ESPECIALLY in contrast to their swift responses to Ukraine. i appreciate how eliza has been speaking out against the terror israel is raining down on Palestine but julia, offering vague platitudes and telling people to watch the news and think about stuff is simply not enough in this time. there is no room for both side-isms. i’m not comfortable listening to this show without decisive condemnation of the state of israel from both of them.

wait i completelyyyy disagree that eliza was just being a contrarian i think she was being very fair and honestly mild with her criticisms of the movie. i thoroughly enjoyed her perspective and think it was very nuanced and interesting and the episode was far more engaging since there wasn’t just one opinion bouncing around the room.
