The talk on how elite liberals just ignore the white working class is really good on the new premium Chapo episode.

Aren't they more accurately saying that we need to focus on working class, not necessarily white working class?

There's a bit of a light schism going on Chapo and the folk around them about that, so I'm not surprised there was a mild "White Working Class" vs "Working Class" with C.KilPatrick on mic.

:) the bible says to feed and clothe the poor, pretty obvious that they've been waiting their whole lives to do that and just have been so sad that they haven't been able to do so thanks to this one, specific matter of doctrine that was more or less invented in the colonial era. :)

Why would they? That is like, forever ago, and he changed his mind and apologized. Dig enough on anyone and you'll find something dumb they said or thought. He runs a good, honest business and actually gets involved, unlike a lot of ironybois (@PissPigGranddad being the best and most extreme example). You may not like him, but he has done more to broadcast leftist views than anyone. The left needs a loudmouth.

I have no idea what Chapo or leftist Twitter does to get invovled locally in politics, but they honestly should, or at least push people towards doing so. There will never be a better time.

I've got nothing against Cenk I was just wondering. I guess it wouldn't really be their style anyway since they usually target "professional class" pundits.

They only mentioned The Young Turks once when they were beating them on Itunes. "There can be only one Turk based podcast." Other than that, no.

cenk uyghur is somewhat constrained in how much he can acknowledge the armenian genocide anyway; he still has family in turkey and probably likes to visit from time to time. if he full on went out and said "the ottomans did the genocide, they killed millions" then his family would almost certainly face official harassment and he might be in legal trouble in turkey whenever he goes back

"i was wrong to deny it, but who can realy say what happened" is some weaksauce poo poo but understandable in his specific context imo

anyway excited to listen to the new episode later tonight

Weren't the Young Turks also the group that led the genocide? Maybe naming the show after them wasn't the best of ideas.

If memory serves The New Inquiry is the place that once devoted an entire "issue" to how much they were obsessed with/analysis of Lana Del Rey. Which don't get me wrong, I enjoy her music, but that's just some bullshit.

TNI was part of what got me on the leftist side from liberalism but really only because i'm a weak ex-theater kid idiot who needed to be slowly weaned off of cultural analysis as my only engagement with marxist and feminist theory.

Jia Tolentino owns. Please read her essay "No Offense" about politics and the internet outrage machine.

quote:

There is an extremely bad undercurrent in this delicate line of thinking that suggests that women are both weak and precious enough to require this—that (unless we are bad feminists, of course) we should be theoretically protected from harshness as a class. There is a growing inseparability between female narcissism and feminist liberation and female identity full stop; there is an idea that women and women’s bodies have to be sacred, treated worshipfully or never mentioned, in order to be worthwhile. There is an idea that every woman is vulnerable enough to be shamed by anything, and that she is also incapable of doing anything (except for being a bad feminist) that should cause her public shame.

It has been interesting to negotiate this editorially. I am overwhelmed with the sense sometimes that what people want from a feminist website is what we seem to want from women generally, what women have learned to want from themselves: a trick mirror that carries the illusion of flawlessness as well as the self-flagellating option of constantly finding fault.

What I want, in front of this mirror, is a de-escalated agenda. I want to see my flaws as they are, no more, no less. I could stand to care a little more when people disapprove of Jezebel, or, more specifically, to believe that my words and choices signify more than I want them to. I wonder sometimes if—in what I think is a sincere political desire to decouple consensus and representation, to detach both obligations from the feminist writer—I am doing exactly what bothers me most in other people: going out of my way to justify whatever I find personally pleasing, acting in extreme self-interest under the rough cloak of social good.

I wonder, I really do, if I’m shirking some basic editorial accountability under the belief that feminism’s relationship to offense is changing—that it has changed significantly already—as well as the sense, despite what is suggested to me, that there are other things to worry about other than getting caught on the wrong side. I think it’s fine when people get offended at this website; I think it’s fine that I tend to disagree. I don’t know if that’s the same thing as believing that the only person who will ever perfectly agree with my politics is me.
