Guys, I listened to the first episode of Trillbilly Worker's Party on the way to work and it's so so good.

"How may times did he get called Gay Dee Vance in high school?"

"So he's on a panel with Charles Murray and Murray is like, I'm a hillbilly too, because he lives in some working-class town in Maryland."

"Everybody wanna be a hillbilly but nobody wanna drink the water."

For all Matt rants about how shooters are anxiety-inducing, the most morally troubling games I've ever played were strategy games. Specifically Master of Orion (where military hegemony and genocide are vital to victory) and Floor 13 (where you basically play Lavrentiy Beria for the Thatcher administration).

I know he's a fan but it would definitely be a weird combo. Especially since Chapo is so critical of Vox Media.

If everyone working on a media project had to agree 100% ideologically, nothing would get produced except statements from old tankie Maoist book clubs.

The boys are wrong about Guam, though. They definitely have a tourist industry. It's a pretty popular place for Japanese tourists for example.

I don't remember who said it, and this was from a thread ages ago, but I remember some goon saying that Guam and Hawaii are what it would be like if Japan won the Pacific Ocean in the Second World War, due to a lot of the Japanese signs near tourist attractions.

If that was the case, Felix and Erin Gloria Ryan wouldn't have been able to go to a Sirius XM without one eating the other.

It's more that they spent a fair share of their podcasts and general work hating on Vox and on their contributors. I imagine that if it wasn't someone like Jon Bois proposing this project to them, the mere mention of Felix being a major contributor would have been enough to make a superior to stomp this project out.

I recall that one of the articles they most viciously hated on, the one about how Blue States should secede, was from the New Republic--but it's not like they declare whole centre-left media outlets haram.

In other news, I managed to piss off the most activist socialist person I know by hating on "coding is the future," which I really did not expect. It was odd going from that to listening to a Trillbilly episode about misguided attempts to Save Appalachia.

The MMA episodes are loving great and I would easily watch an hour or two about the topics brought up in each, but especially the Chechnya scene and Ramzan Kadyrov.

I have a friend who constantly does that on Facebook and it makes me so loving mad because he's otherwise a good guy with correct opinions.

Edit: I really think it just comes down to how hard it is to admit you were wrong, especially when you were so publicly certain and smug about it being a foregone conclusion. Hell, I had to eat some poo poo too, but I did it and moved on.

You people are clearly not quite right in the head.

I grew up in a mixed background part of sweden with a sister and a single mother. We did not have a lot of money, and my dad shot himself in the head with a small caliber pistol. I taught myself programming over many years and finally was fortunate enough to start my own business from scratch with zero investors and sell it. I've paid more taxes in my life than you all will do combined, and I've never tried to dodge a single cent (in fact, I have paid way more than I could get away with legally because I'd rather to the right thing). I like paying taxes, that's how we all pitch in together.
