The complete archive of Subversive episodes, including exclusive episodes and my writing, is available on Substack for the monthly cost of an (admittedly extravagant) coffee - 7$. You can also subscribe to the podcast sans writing on Patreon for the price of a (bog standard) coffee - 5$. This is how the show is financed and grows, so I appreciate every contribution!

https://www.patreon.com/aksubversive We speak about: Positive gamification - giving away rice, planting trees, saving power. Dark gamification - most everything else. Releasing the pressure of expectations on young men. The technological revolution and its consequences. The culture war as a world-spanning game. Ideology as character creation in an RPG. Back to the city after “back to the land” Trad as an attempt to capture something that never was, and much more.
