I've also been feeling this lately. That podcast was what originally pushed me to be ML, but over time I have noticed that they avoid taking firm stances on anything too controversial. I think they still have a bit of value for getting people started, but they also have the risk of getting people stuck in a sort of watered-down marxism.

That's also a common way to say USA in Russian, although it's pronounced "Ssha" (США). Maybe I'll start saying СШАский.

I've noticed that ever since I started learning Russian people seem to trust me less when I talk about politics. As if knowing the language makes me inherently compromised as a source of information/analysis.
