pod save america jon (the #1 alpha one) referenced chapo as "a few assholes with podcasts" on today's PSA, insisting that they represent a twitter-only minority and that everyone IRL is actually ready to line up behind biden to dump trump lol.

Are the pod save johns talking about the world historical plague happening, or is it mostly just election bullshit.

then liz needs to not say inaccurate stuff like the boomers stopped us from nuking vietnam and then double down when called out on it by claiming she knows her history. i get trying to push back on generational warfare but don�t make statements that will make your audience take you less seriously

generational politics remains a mistake and a culture war, i'm pretty sure they're trying to tamp down those aspects of it

Matt made a point in the beltway garage ep about how because of how wealth is distributed in this country, generational differences also contain quite a bit of class difference at this moment.

I'm not the most read-up on Vietnam but there wasn't really a clear "victory" the military could achieve, was there? The anti-war movement was in the right of course, but some portion of their support was not out of pure pacifism, but as a response to the apparent absurdity of that particular war.

yes but talking about it in terms of age means that you end up with stupid demographic arguments instead of something actionable

it's a classical mediator effect, we don't want to get hung up on it

Pure pacifism is dumb.

The anti-war movement was made up of a diverse collection ranging from the morally motivated pacifists, to anti-imperialists, to people who just thought the war was a waste.

yeah i agree with this take. generational warfare is not a good starting point but in this specific moment it has become shorthand for class differences due to the post-war era boom and then declining standard of living for subsequent generations. combine that with poorer elderly people dying off sooner and it�s hard to deny a wealth dimension to what normally is just a demographic age gap

Boomers are also the only demographic that watches a ton of cable news, and watching multiple hours of Fox News or MSNBC just ruins your brain.

it was actually mostly plaguechat, but for the short election segments they were saying Biden needs to start looking like a leader starting yesterday at the latest. I don�t think they have a ton of confidence in old joe at the moment but would never come out and say it because that would cost them a lot of friends.
