"Serious topics" is bullshit of course. They're basically banning people from giving actual medical or legal advice who have no clue what they're talking about. Seems like a very good thing tbh.

anticommunist dipshits being forced to get educated in marxism before criticizing it is a good bit

even if they wanted to, I don't think a single university offers Marxist theory classes in the imperial west, maybe there is some in Belarus and Cuba?

From a cursory web search there are a few classes around the US in schools like Yale/stanford/berkeley/UW/university of utah! But I doubt you could get a degree anywhere

Maybe at one of the schools like Harvard where you are allowed to create your own major, if you took enough humanities/philosophy courses (from my understanding they often teach the Marxist framework of a subject alongside others)

All the professors like Gerald Horne, Michael Hudson, Jason Hickel, Andreas Malm, Angela Davis, Norm Finkelstein, David Harvey, etc are hired by universities to teach courses. They might skirt around Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, Mao, and other leaders that directly put the theory into practice, maybe on a bad day they teach the Frankfurt School thinkers as an alternative to Eastern Marxism, but usually they do literally get hired to teach a course on Marx or history from a Marxist lens.

what the fuck, this is bullshit. i don't want to get my information from "experts". experts lie. i want to get my information from someone whose only credentials are he's a guy with a podcast. if he didn't know what he was talking about, why would he have a podcast where he talks about stuff? the experts told me the covid vaccine wouldn't make me gay. well tell that to my hot boyfriend

Now podcasts can solely consist of making fun of TV shows from the hosts' childhood

Just as Synthus, the God of Podcasts decreed from his post on Mt. Olympus

It turns out Nick Mullen does not have a degree in robotics so cannot give advice on how to turn oneself into a Gundam.
