Hi Keaton and Russell,

This episode was much better than most but still riddled in places with unnecessary profanities and sexual innuendo such as shown in the title of this replay. One of your recent shows included a graphic discussion of male masturbation and was especially cringeworthy! It appears that your target audience may be young men to the exclusion of other adults interested in thoughtful and informative discussion concerning the global political situations that we dissidents are concerned with . I like your show and your good humor but please cut back on the profanity as it adds nothing of value . Perhaps I am just too old and a female to fully appreciate such banter . In any case, I send best wishes to you both from New Hampshire and welcome Keaton here this weekend. Bring your woolies !!

While I usually don’t mind people speaking their minds to a fault, these guys are are too intelligent to let pu**y / d*ck jokes muddle the message.

Are the jokes the main problem, though? They don't consume that much time after all, do they? And if one is so refined they can't take some "gallows humour", but think they're up to the challenge of 'revolution'... I don't know...they'd probably think again. As for muddling the message...what is it exactly? THAT seems to be the PROBLEM. As far as I can see, their stuff is just another new media enterprise. If it wasn't, they'd ease up on repetitive rants, condense their weekly content into one or two uploads of reasonable length, and focus them on things that can produce real change. That is on anything that has to do with building a nationwide labor movement. Because, with the exception of emergencies like Gaza which simply can not be not addressed on a daily basis, nearly all the rest is merely noise. But how many chances would one have to direct one's audience to Patreon or Substack and how many Super Chats/Stickers could one collect in this case? So you have about 5% of the real thing and 95% of infotainment fluff. Which comes at a price. I think in their latest stream DD correctly described the reason why David Pakman's - or virtually any mainstream outlets', for that matter - audience "buys" their product. But is it really that different with the overwhelming majority of their own audience? The DD content is certainly closer to the truth of reality. But wouldn't the underlying dynamics of this whole operation be pretty much the same?

What makes David Pakman mainstream and Tucker Carlson a "fighter against the system" according to the deranged mind of Russell?

Russell's idea of fighting against the system is taking away healthcare from millions which is what trump tried to do(and will do if he has the votes). Yeah not as worried about Pakman just because he isn't a right wing grifter like Russell is.

Thank you . Your observations and comments are well worth consideration . You make excellent points that will likely change my assessment of the situation and I will need to decide how much profanity in their presentation is acceptable .
