In the past I have used Reddit and Twitter as my main news aggregators, but obviously those are going down the toilet. What are some good places to go to get some good news? (aside from here of course!)

    WHAT THE FUCK.
    I’ve been subscribed to Second Thought for years and I’ve never once even heard of First Thought. If the YouTube algorithm were actually interested in pushing content I were interested in, that should’ve come up at some point. I know it seems paranoid, but I can’t think of any rational explanation for why I’m just now hearing about it other than that YouTube doesn’t want people to know about that channel for some reason.
    I thought “Second Thought” was just a clever name, like “on second thought, after doing some basic research, capitalism is bad and Americans have just been brainwashed into defending it and it’s time to start understanding that en masse.”

      Oh the First Thought channel is relatively new, around 3 months or so? That would probably explain it. I’ve been enjoying it as well!

        Oh okay, good. I have been busy the past few months so I haven’t watched Second Thought lately. I bet he mentions First Thought in his videos these days.

          Also in their podcast, The Deprogram. If you like their main channels and the small amount of analysis they put up on the First Thought channel, you’d probably like some of their discussions in The Deprogram podcast too.

            I catch every episode of the podcast and First Thought and I hardly even watch the main channels anymore
