Okay everyone, I gotta run. Thank you all for your wonderful questions and your kind words! Lots of love, can't wait to do this again in the future 🥰

Hello JT! What is your opinion on this here rodent?

Thank you for all your efforts in combatting western chauvinism, its been wonderful to see your channel gain the traction it has.
I'm sure we all feel like we're fighting a losing battle against US propaganda, especially recently given the increased racism from liberals against China and Russia. Do you think there's any hope of overturning that ideological stranglehold within the imperial core, or will the engine of revolution continue to be located in the global south?
I'm glad you like the channel! We certainly have an uphill battle to face in the imperial core. I don't think there will ever be a moment where class consciousness overtakes the deeply ingrained ideology we've been fed for the last hundred years. Our job is to do the best we can. Fight fascism when it appears, educate our friends, family, coworkers, build resilient communities, and be prepared to weather the coming storm of warmongering and reactionary hate. As the US empire wanes, it will continue to lash out ever more violently. The people with the most to lose - those on the receiving end of the violence in the global south, will be the torchbearers of revolution. All we can do is help in whatever little ways we can.
Sorry for the slight pause in answering questions, friends. Had a minor crisis to resolve. I'm back and will tackle the rest now!
Dropping in to say that the East Palestine documentary was incredible and I hope you get to do more projects like that!
edit - from Chattanooga 
I don’t have a question, I just wanted to say hi 
Who will be the first US Federal politician to utter the word tankie?
Do you let Hakim and Yugopnik see the sun at all or are they fully secured in your basement at all times? 
I have a stone slab over the pit that I roll back to give them some exposure to the sun every day or two
Do you have any plans to do more on-site reporting like with East Palestine? And how spicy do you like your food?
please tell me that I'm ok 
Hi JT thank you for joining us again!
In your opinion, what are the prerequisites that must be met in order to move someone from being a radlib to a full fledged socialist?
Also what's your vice?
Does the Deprogram crew have a betting pool on when
will finally croak? If so has Yugopnik already lost?
lol we do not, but you better believe we'll drop an emergency episode when he kicks the bucket
Hey comrade, what do you think about shouting out ProleWiki in a video? Or I guess for a more serious question, do you feel this type of resource could help you do research for your videos?
Had a bad experience with one of the ProleWiki people (I think it was prolewiki at least). He was in my CPUSA chapter and was one of those very sus patriotic socialists, and some screenshots of his chats came out that confirmed my suspicions
I appreciate your honesty! This was a very shameful period for us, I'm not going to try and defend it. He was later banned (I think I know which screenshot you mean) when he conspired with the Infrared community* to infiltrate the wiki. Since then we've been completely free of patsocs.

Wait what? The infra Haz guy tried to infiltrate prolewiki? You serious lol?
I still remember when he came to hexbear and got banned within a few posts.
Have you considered mentioning these Hexbear AMA's on Twitter or YouTube? Or shouting Hexbear out somewhere?
have you considered a third thought?
What do you think about Linux and the FOSS space?
Very limited experience. I have a Steam Deck, and it's based on Linux, but that's about it
How has being a commie internet celeb affected your day to day / personal life. Have you managed to avoid harm?
Surprisingly little. Some death threats every now and again, but always via email, never in real life. So far so good!
If you, Hakim and Yugopnik were isekai'd into an RPG/D&D-style fantasy world/game, what do you think your respective classes would be?
Yugopnik bard for sure. Hakim...idk what all the healing classes are, but one of those. For me...what's the one where I just get to vibe? I wanna be that one
What can be done to combat rising anti-Chinese sentiment? It seems even the previously anti war libs are foaming at the mouth for war. My girlfriend is Chinese, in China, and we’re considering rescheduling her trip out here and accelerating my trip there, because we worry that she may be targeted here. Not to mention the fear of war separating us entirely :/
Yeah if you guys are thinking of relocating to China I'd say go for it. So many cool places. The best we can do here is look at the example of the war on terror. People who "looked liked terrorists" were the target of extreme prejudice and frequently the target of hate crimes. Ask around in lefty communities what actions were taken to educate people, or protect their targeted comrades. There's no easy answer, unfortunately. The US propaganda machine is incredibly powerful, and you'll never be able to fully defeat the manufactured hate.
Hi JT! I came up with a few slurs for white people. Which one is your favorite?
