If I read a transcript of a standard Chapo podcast I would literally think that Felix is an Islamic terrorist. Maybe some podcasts don't translate to the written word. Like, I'm truly deeply sorry that deaf people can't hear Gorka's actual voice and get the joke.

i think it's more about giving someone the choice of skull surgery rather than making it mandatory, but like anything, there's a militant wing of every culture. I think it's weird to compare deaf folks to HIV patients, though.

that post about amber's facebook screenshot is getting so little play that i doubt she's going to address it at all and those folks can spin their wheels until felix says mongoloid again.

A chapo transcript would make it easy for insane tankies, the donut brigade and frog death squads to pull seemingly-damning quotes from the episodes out of context lol

Best part of this drama?

The DSA Disability people or the M4A people didn't have the right contact info for the other group. So instead of sending a DM or an email like a normal human, everyone went crazy throwing fits on social media. The DSA really seems like a totally normal organization filled with normal people.

I think Amber really overreacted but I kinda have a hard time taking the biweekly chapo outrage seriously because it seems like it's the exact same people on twitter who are the only ones who cry about it endlessly and they're all universally really really really bad and unironically seem like they're just mad they can't get them fired from anywhere

They are sometimes the same people who demanded that FYAD poster get banned for ableism because she suggested that people go out and volunteer for feminist causes in a feminism megathread :ssh:


I seriously don't get how these people can exist without constantly weeping in the fetal position. I saw one of these people once say they were offended by James Adomian's Gorka impression because it made him seem of greater significance than he actually was.

People just stay pissy because the Chapo gang aren't beholden to anyone but their own values yet are still wildly successful and some people see that as getting away with something.


If he's talking about left infighting, he's got a point. If he's still talking about the "Panera Theory" or whatever then :bang:

Edit: Christ this makes me mad. Winning is everything. Look at how concerned Republicans are with convincing anyone of anything. They're 100% shameless about what they're doing because they know no one can stop them, at least for a little while.

Deem the DSA disability folk council as faking their disability and then going on how they're secret radlib infiltrator cops. And then tell a weird anti semitic tale on how the mentally ill is going to destroy socialism. And since people told her to gently caress off with that stuff, this will doom socialism somehow because the totem of all leftist thought and power in the United States according to people who really, really want a Based Mom Of The Left of some reason. While still somehow juggling at the same time that the podcast is 100% entertainment and they shouldn't be seen as arbitrators of policy. Kind of confusing, I'd say.
