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.

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.’

“Is This Even Capitalism Anymore?”
Social democracy, fascism, and state communism are a lot more similar, in certain structural ways, than any of them want to admit.

Public-Private Partnership in Your Pocket
The real threat is a totalitarian society that seduces you, that blinds you, that subtly frightens you with external enemies, and tells you that giving up freedom is necessary to preserve your freedom.
