You mostly don't hear about the successful cases since they're only ever against people who don't have money, power or PR agencies. And tend to be disproportionately successful against minorities and women.

That stage is pretty much indistinguishable from late-stage helldumping, and you'd probably be correct that most of the people at that point are just in it for the feeling of success at causing another's suffering.

Yeah that's the thing. The whole "cancel culture isn't real" thing ignores that the people who survive the "cancelling" are already rich and powerful and, at the end of the day, wealth trumps all.

You don't hear about the nameless people fired and who can't find a job because an internet search will prevent any employer from hiring them.

The Iowa City Chapo live show was huge. poo poo got incredibly emotional at the end, the whole team giving heartfelt speeches, and Will crying while we all sang Solidarity Forever to close out the show. It was an uplifting and surreal experience.

It should've been "Battle Hymn of the Republic." Since Bernie's about to loose the wrathful lightning of his terrible swift sword. :bernget20:

BB: The right has always thrived on pointing out real or imagined moral depravity. They�re all dimestore Julius Streichers. They�re horny for this sort of stuff, all the Steven Crowder set, this Epstein poo poo turns them on. They�re sick, it�s a type of perverted madness. They don�t want to solve the case, they want to masturbate to it. That said, I agree with Liz.

Leftists are aghast at the Jeffrey Epstein case because it's everything we've been saying about capital, realized in such an exaggerated form that we second-guess ourselves.

Conservatives are aghast at it because it's the gross sexual fantasies they've always had about every celebrity or politician they don't like, realized exactly as they imagined.

the first thing I think of whenever anyone mentions Virgil was the time he went on Young Turks and said, completely unironically, "the abolition of currency is not a radical proposal"

It's funny that people think he's Chapo's token lib because he's their election wonk.

I haven't listened to trueanon much but I like how Liz is laying out a bunch of interesting stuff and brace is just "yeah just imprison the CIA don't really care about the details"

Imprison? loving liberal.

Shipon posted:

Liz is smart and makes good points (yes she's got vocal fry) and Bruce is there to be funny about it

Is that their format now? I listened to one episode and it was "Liz starts a sentence and Brace interrupts her with a tangent that doesn't really go anywhere and peters out." Has it gotten better?

Bernie is just an old figurehead. The union makes us strong.

If you don't like the ramblings of NYC dilettantes it means you're a wokescold lib, or something.

It's hard to parse because I think if you shook his skull a little the brain cells would sound like a maraca.

As always still mad that someone likes a podcast you don�t like. Lol.

The fact the people leading the charge are creatures like Moira Donegan of the Graud should tell you everything about how the Me Too movement has not acted to
Halle he capitalism at all.

My guess is that he prefers Warren, even though most of his listeners are on the Bernie train. Duncan still has too much of an "adult in the room" mindset despite his politics moving leftward the past few years.

I enjoy the Revolutions podcast but that poll is cringeworthy.

pretty sure Duncan goes Sanders, from following his steady radicalizing twitter feed.

the realness of cancel culture depends on who your audience is and how much you respond to it. if you have a woke audience, it's real. if you prostrate yourself upon cancellation, it's real. otherwise it's not

I mean, apart from anything else it's the same because race/color are strongly correlated to cultural perceptions of beauty anyway. Black women and Asian men in the US, for example, are hosed.

That's just because black women are masculine and Asian men are feminine

Cum Town is the only podcast I listen to full episodes of. Chapo and Rogan I listen to sometimes but only when it's a clip someone put on Youtube
