Hello, I think it would be fun and possibly beneficial to try to call in with the leftist message to various internet/radio shows and put our case across. I don't really know who to call (but I think left leaning social democrat type shows might be a good idea) but I wonder if you lot have any ideas?
Only thing I'm not interested in is TCR because it's clearly trolling any nobody listens to that for politics anyway.
i support this. let's get yui or someone to do it on our behalf.
But I wanna do it myself ;_;
I think everyone who thinks they can do it should have a try. As long as you can put forth an argument better than the average clown who calls in. I guess I lied, I do have a suggestion, perhaps the guy in the OP pic at Majority Report, he likes to btfo libertarians so we might have something in common. Plus they have Skype so that's good for people like me not in Murrica.
Call in! or Contact the Show
Call in to the show M-F 11:30am EST: 646-257-3920
Skype: majoritylive
Call thom hartmann?
I love trolling TCR but I'm not too aware of other internet radio shows. What would be some good places to hit up and call?
I had a look on his website but couldn't find how to call in, maybe we could compile a list of when shows are on and how to call in?
Well let's start listing them. So for now we've got:
Minority Report with Sam Seder (progressive)
M-F 11:30am EST: 646-257-3920
Skype: majoritylive
Thom Hartmann Radio and TV
???
We're coming Bucko
This is a good idea. We need more exposure and this would be a great opportunity.
Get out there you fool and show them what you've got!
Who else is knowingly not stupid? Azusa?
Anyone know if David Pakman ever does call-ins?
I nominate rebel.
He absolutely does, and did so very recently in fact. Also you can always leave voicemail which he does even more often.
Bump, someone volunteer.
Although I don't oppose shit like that in principle, I think the Left is currently too stupid and too unprepared for this stuff.
For example, I picture the hosts just asking "what about the Soviet Union?" and the caller sperging out about how it was a "degenerate state-capitalist bureaucratic state" and muh betrayal of the revolution.
He is massive classcuck. Called Chavez a regressive left recently.
Better call fucking Jimmy Dore already.
Well if the host already agreed ther wouldn't be much point ringing in.
'the left' isn't one person, if you think you can make a coherent argument then go for it.
I used to watch David Packman before I became a socialist. Sounds like he really went down the shitter along with Dave Rubin and Sargon.
What's the problem?
...
"Regressive left" has since become a catch-all term for anyone that isn't consciously obsessed with Muslims.
and most of the people labelled "regressive leftists" aren't even leftists but social liberals.
Chavez is dead. If he is really regressive left then we really do have problem.
What is the regress of death? No, it's not life. We are talking about the first zombie socialist. Do you realize how many people are in Venezuela? No? Me to, but probably a shitton. Do you know that zombie disease is contiguous? Do you know that US right now is weak, and has no border? DO YOU REALLY WANT A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE I USA?
Yeah, but they're all authoritarian cultural Marxists :^))))
t.Sargon of Akkad
I think you meant to say:
"My radical proposition is this. I reject totally this thing. And here I disagree completely with Sargon, David Packman and Sam Harris and so on. Isn't it precisely because Chavez is dead that he must not be regressive? What I mean is okay so he is dead blah blah but we must turn to Hegelian negation of the negation where he is now undead. And this is where I admit it openly I am an idealist."
This
Do it!! Then tell us where we can listen to it.
The Majority report does sometimes get communists on their show. Like they had Jodi Dean and the editor for Jacobin. And at least a handful of their listeners are socialists. But don't hijack the show to be about you… There's a reason why it's fun to hear them make fun of libertarian callers.
I'm probably going to call Seder at some point.
Can you throw in some bunker related puns so i know when you're up?
I'm just wanting to talk about gun control.
daily reminder that we are coming bucko
write some shit down beforehand so you don't fuck up and sperg out
I would like to see a good online show or podcast in which those on the far-left and the far-right can debate one another. It's very rare that these two sides of politics have constructive debates with one another anymore.
We'd have plenty of people willing to debate. The only problem is most far right "debating" on the internet is calling someone a cuck until they leave in frustration.
I agree, but to be fair whenever I see somebody from the far-right on the internet attempt an honest and genuine debate with a Leftist those on the other side of the spectrum can often respond with the same immaturity. It's a problem which effects both groups, especially when there's an asymmetry both in theory and in intelligence. I like debating with Leftists because I'm often interested in hearing their responses to my arguments. Dialectics are extremely useful for both sides of politics, it's just a shame that nowadays it rarely happens
Yeah, I am. I know what I'm going to say though, by and large.
Does he let people just call in and talk about whatever or do i need a specific time or show or what, i've not watched him much
Majority FM's lines open up in half an hour at 11.30am EST for anyone who wants to call in.
Call in to the show M-F 11:30am EST: 646-257-3920
Skype: majoritylive
Is there somewhere to watch this live? Looking through the site I'm just a bit confused.
I think that half the show is public and half is for subscribers. I can see on the site there's an app you can download to listen but surely there must be a web player too. Hmm.
Erm okay, I think if you click the Android button you can an m3u file which I believe is a link to the online playlist that, I think, will come on when the show goes live? I think.
I'm guessing it's up but I'm not seeing it anywhere. Fug.
Well I tried adding them on Skype, nothing yet. Will update if anything happens.
The show starts at 12 but it says to call in at 11.30 (to get on the waiting list I guess), still time to get in there. I'm running the mu3 but I'm getting nothing but dead air so far.
Well I've called in and I'm getting that I'm first in line and a "representative" will talk. fug.
What does this mean?

Nice one, no luck on Skype. Say something good, maybe the rest of us will see it
They go live on YouTube. But they're actually taking a break until the 12th…
So good luck calling in I guess.
Oops. The main guy isn't going to be on. But they're still doing a show.
Had it right the first time. There's no live show until te 12th. Don't bother calling in.
Boo. Sorry guys. Well, there's always other shows, or we can reconvene on the 12th.
I was wondering how the show they just uploaded was already finished.
I don't know any other shows. There's Thom Hartmann, but that's basically it.
haha benis
The main problem is more often than not, people don't go to debates to exchange ideas, but with the intent to BTFO the opponent and bragging about it to their political community. This is especially true in the Internet. This must be related to something in our reptilians brains idk.
I must confess, for a long time i strawmanned like crazy the people disagreeing with me, only as i got older i started to confront right wing logic rather than right wing idiocy.
Sorry man. I dishonor myself.
The Humanist Report is a berniecrat youtube channel who's viewers might be ripe for radicalization (at the very least a lot of them seem to be part of the #bernieorbust and #neverhillary camps). He has an open voicemail box on his site and occasionally if he gets a good message he'll make a video where he shares it with his audience.
could be an option.
Welp. I really look forward to talking to Seder about gun control after Dallas.
