    • Pod save America
    • Democracy Now
    • Today in Focus
    • The journal
    • NRPs Political podcast

    Non political pods:

  • I joined after the shitstorm that Reddit made the community go trough. It’s a worse website now because of the changes to the API where they now take money for using it. They now have to charge the user for using their apps. Basically making it easy for me to stop using reddit entirely.

    Tip for you guys that still want to use an app but don’t know about it: geddit is a free app that scrape RSS to let you browse reddit. I’ve used it more and more to get used to it. It’s pretty good but since it doesn’t use rhe API you can’t comment or bookmark stuff. You can however watch NSFW stuff but it doesn’t work that well compared to how Relay for instance did it back when apps where allowed to show NSFW content…








  • It won’t have a positive effect I’ll tell you that. Just look at Brazil… I’m pretty sure they got the idea to storm the congress from Trump…

    The truth is that many democracies is getting weaker and there is a reason for that. Democracy is very weak and that’s why it takes so much to keep it at place. One autocratic leader is enough to break it. We saw it in Germany before the war and it migh as well happen in the US if we’re not careful. Another win for Trump might be the end for democracy in the US.

    Do you know the sad part of this? There is so few republicans that openly criticize Trump. Of the few that has they have all been quited and removed from their positions. We are seeing the rise of facism in the US and people shout “USA, USA USA”… they are so fucking blind. I hope for the US peoples sake that they do not elect Trump, and I hope in the next 10 years we will see the formation of a new party that can become the new republican party for those that do not wish facism because that’s where the US is going with Trump.

    I just cannot belive how history is repeating itself.
