I mean Flores called him an rear end in a top hat and then someone maybe even Luis hit him and got him bounced from a club. Is he just supposed to accept that on top of platforming nazis?

if he was smart he would never have started poo poo with luis in the first place

milo had already been platformed by hbo via bill maher, the idea of him going on legion of skanks somehow matters at all is fart sniffing and obviously the idiot that calls himself the puerto rican rattlesnake is cancel proof and not going to give a gently caress

flores thought it was an easy way to score woke points and like usual jake thought wrong

so I began to write this and turned into a reflection but it is a heartfelt and honest one, for real

nah, putting effort and sweat into doing something towards socialism is never a waste

there seems to be an uniquely american perspective in its left, where any demonstration that you are devastated because you cared and you still care must be buried at any cost behind a veil of extremely cool ironic posting or distanced from through doom and gloom, but somehow still maintaining a leftist perspective

it is good that Chapo did those "serious" episodes because they mobilized people and fostered solidarity: they joined unions, they formed friendships, they got to come together for the cause of the better day; to think and really believe that all those things were a waste is where the true defeat lies, where the monster of reaction comes to devour the mind

I dunno if that is some sort of peculiar fatalism bred in the aftermath of the 60s because the every single relevant force in the USA was hellbent in destroying anything resembling leftist action and thought, but that does not even come close to the actual lengths that Spain, Italy, Germany and elsewhere went to annihilate the left during their heydays of fascism. Yet, the left survived and ultimately endured

Why not the USA? What is there, peculiar to its middle class, perhaps, that makes its leftists to refuse hope? Hope in regards to socialism is as essential as water is to life. How one can fight for the brighter tomorrow if one has no hope?

maybe just practical reasons. all those countries have voting systems that put leftists into office. congressional districts with 800k voters per and fptp rules just squashes any type of radical movement. also our tv shows are really good

I bet they probably both are serious about it but I truly just don’t get it. The only time it comes together for me is when they are dismissively chuckling at what spiritual poo poo women post about online. I do however like their weird Canadian gnome voices. They sound like they’re about to introduce an unreleased mort garrison album.

yeah if the show ended because people got sick of it, it would be incredibly irritating to see globe emoji pedophiles and Gwen types to be smug as hell about it, even if we were being a bit smug when it looked like we were winning. basically never admit you were owned, because to be frank everyone else was also owned by what the party picked and don't realize it yet.

Not entirely sure what Jake did other than rightfully badmouth Luis and be in the same room as him. No one was trying to shame Luis they were trying to gently caress up his event as any sane person would do when Milo tries to take the stage.

It's pretty likely Joe will win - not 100% but i could see it happening. Even if he did win though it would still be a massive self-own when his administration gets absolutely nothing done and doesn't even get a SCOTUS pick.

Luis almost ruined that venue's reputation by hosting a pariah. There were probably literally thousands of people calling him a oval office but he hit someone he knew.

You have things a little mixed up. Luis wanted to do a Milo Yabbadabbadoopolis night at a live taped event. The entire NY comedy and improv community exploded and threatened to boycott that venue because of nazi. Jake said someone should throw a milkshake at Milo. The event was canceled. Later on another night Luis walks up to Jake hits him and spits in his face, Luis' friend tells Jake to go away. Like I said I'm not sure why Jake should tolerate any of that bullshit.

i'm just cynical and disillusioned with idpol after seeing it used mostly to discredit people like bernie, corbyn or ilhan omar. i guess milo and to a lesser extent alex jones ended up eating poo poo and getting cancelled to a degree because one came out pro pedo and the other went after parents of slain children and they are truly vile people who shouldn't be welcomed in polite society but unless these people self own that hard it never sticks to right wing figures

lib dems lying about antisemitism in labour to discredit corbyn is not in anyway comparable to when people say tucker carlson is a white supremacist in the sense that you can describe them with the same term, and then say you've "lost faith in it."

why group them together at all, and especially why group them with "when people tell me not to use slurs" which is absolutely the next thing people who complain about idpol are about to say
