Famethrowa posted:Kind of? The internet of the 90's was pretty hippy libertarian (like Burning Man), which allowed for the creation of niche spaces for every variety of identity you'll ever see. A lot of the popular identities centered around being a lovely misanthrope who closeted themselves away in the internet, and this sort of bitter world view attracted lots of angsty teenagers. the whole hakim bey temporary autonomous zone utopian promise of the 90s internet was always a crock people were getting into flame wars over stupid nerd poo poo pretty much from the earliest days of bbses and listservs

The Simpsons were depicting internet users as misanthrope neckbeards who obsess over pointless poo poo 20 years ago, based on the writers reading usenet fangroups.

Jonas Albrecht posted:Matthew Lesko is a good guy, not a small brain. Second is Michael Tracey, who went in too deep with irony during the campaign, and final form is Jeet Heer, the resident irony nerd of the New Republic. He tweets a lot, and is charmingly care given how much he seems to enjoy Chapo humor.

Ed is cringy on every Scumbag I have listened to. He can't say anything worthwhile and has about eight different vocal tics I can't stand. He's an okay tweeter though.

Benny Johnson's av just looks like a boring caricature of an old man. I don't know much about Michael Tracey but I like the cut of his jib. (e: it looks like he changed his av, he sucks now) I wouldn't put baseball crank in the same genre as these other guys since it's not based on how actually looks... unless he's literally a baseball. I really do admire Jeet's courage in using an av that makes him look fat and dopey.

I'm glad to hear this because I listened to the first few and, while he's a cool guy, I don't think a podcast can be good with only one person unless it's strictly educational. I'll have to start listening again.

History podcasts work well with a single person. Someone sorta adjacent to the chapoverse has a history of the fall of rome podcast (as a side project, his day job is MMA writer).

There is a recent episode with Chapo Middle Eastern expert Derek Davison about the Iraq/Iran war and the middle east that is very good.
