Transcripts
Out of principle, the Antidote Writers Collective prepares all transcripts by hand. No love for AI here. Attentive and conscientious humans still do better work.
Additionally, this is labor we are willing to do upon request or suggestion, with adequate compensation: we’re an unfunded project so we can be coaxed into selling our labor for money. But! if we like the material we’re transcribing we also accept permission to post as fair reward.

It’s More Than Just FIFA
“We’re seeing an elite degenerate so quickly. Now that there’s a little bit of evidence from soccer, we can see the way they all operate, the cash in the suitcases and all the rest of it. It’s delightful, actually.”

The Brutal Business of Bordering Europe
There is a very counterproductive type of border control being put in place across the rich world’s borders, on a global scale. It’s leading to a lot of suffering and misery. There are much better ways to organize globalization. We still haven’t even begun to look at that in a politically engaged manner in much of the rich world.

Fight for Fifteen
Some of the people at the very bottom of capitalism are starving and dying and living their whole life in poverty. What we’re saying is this is not right. Some fundamental changes have to be made.
Working Long Hours is Lazy
Somebody is looking at their resources and saying, ‘You know what? We just can’t be bothered to organize this properly.’
