life is a joke posted: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.

V.

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.

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.

Retromancer posted: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. 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.

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.
