Some day someone here is gonna write a seven paragraph essay debating Matt's bean tweets or Felix's monkey reaction gifs. If there are people in this world who would benefit from closing their laptop and lighting up the grill its most of you.

It was absolutely infuriating a few eps ago listening to Matt talk about how the protests had been completely subsumed by Lib poo poo like painting Black Lives Matter in front of Trump tower or just being about bad statues now and how the cops have learned to not be aggressive and let things peter out when the riots and protests have continued since and people are still being murdered and brutalized by the cops even in the last week.
I'm sorry but you really weren't paying attention. He said that tearing down statues is good but not the end goal, and has to be a waypoint and not a safety valve. He also said that cops are being hands off in hopes of getting popular support for a brutal crackdown.

quote:

That combined with his latest streams which are largely "Old Man Yells About New Fangled Contraptions and How They're the Root of the issue" really just feels like him falling into his old gripes since his last attempt at believing in something blew up.
He doesn't think the computer is a demon box that magically destroys solidarity, he said that social media is fine for sharing information and hanging out with friends but The Discourse is just a busybox.

I do think they underestimate how much this poo poo affects people. BLM support has gone up quite a bit recently and my boomer parents who are both retired LEO are all for it. When I visited the other week my dad even told me how mad he gets when people don't get that "black lives matter" means "black lives matter too" and how if Rayshard Brooks was white he'd be alive today which isn't something I can imagine him saying even a few years ago. Trump allowing his supporters to drop the mask does have an effect on even centrist types and I think sometimes the Chapo's cynicism blinds them to that. Maybe I'm wrong and my parents are a special case but I have a hard time believing that.

Public attitudes are changing, and that's good, but the problem is that attitudinal shifts can't come fast enough or play into electoral results fast enough to save us from climate megadeath.

Update: the Christmas lights are broken and I forgot to pack a swimsuit. The demiurge continues to menace us even as we trip the grillpill.

There’s a bit of truth to this. I think people forget how genius TDS was at the time especially in contrast to the jingoism of the rest of the media. CTH captures some of that same flame. The deep secret? Using their subjects own words. Context. Poking at figures of authority. The things actual media should have been doing the whole time.

they've even admitted this when they talked about the obama boys from 2008 who watch the daily show

it's basically the same thing in podcast form and that's actually fine so long as you don't get up your own rear end about how doing the show is itself politics

It's going to get real old real quick to dismiss any negative reactions to the show as 'looks like r/chapotraphouse is leaking again :rolleyes:', last week's Taibi episode got the blowback it did because it expressed a load of really stupid poo poo.

That said, the people who dont actually listen to the show and continue commenting on it can shove off, please leave the endless griping to people who at least listen to it.

What do you think is a biggest issue: People who aren’t listening to episode reacting to the reaction, or the people who supposedly do listen to the show but post completely made up stuff because Amber isn’t a SuccDem and likes to remind people that Twitter isn’t real life.

Like the downtime between reading goon responses to an episode and listening to it are frequently bizarre, because eventually you hear it and realize that these people just have an axe to grind.

It got poo poo precisely because Amber and Taibbi became 'better things aren't possible' succdems on police reform, claimed the police are working class (and not say, class traitors) and and performed some embarassing psychoanalysis of the socialists & BLM campaigners calling for police abolition (apparently all either completely deluded dopes or sinister radlibs demanding loyalty pledges for knowingly unobtainable goals). Nothing has to be made up because the clearly stated positions in that episode were awful.

But that’s not what they said! They said “Abolish the police is not as popular among REAL PEOPLE as it is among TWIT LIBS and BLMSTAN TWITTER ACCOUNTS” and that’s the truth! “Abolish the police” is not a household idea that is gathering a large wave of general consensus across the country. You’re making it sound like some acid-tongued attack when it’s just a restatement of the very-real and very-true “Twitter is not real life”

An idea growing in popularity is not the same as an idea hitting mainstream acceptance. Look at how long we had to push for Gay Marriage, for example. That was basically a decade of begging for basic civil liberties, and it had wide appeal and mainstream support for a while before anyone took it seriously.

I do think defunding the police is possible and it’s happening. I don’t think it’ll happen on a national level this decade.

'Abolish the police' has gotten a hell of alot more popular since people started demanding it and helps make 'significantly defund the police' look alot more palatable at the very least. As the show has said several times before and I'm pretty sure by Amber personally the goal of the left is to demand the impossible and change peoples' conceptions of what is viable, there's no point starting out from your compromise position and on any other subject she'd identify that is exactly what centrist establishment politicians do to sell out the causes they allegedly support.

right and if someone said 'look gay rights isn't a mainstream position so you shouldn't say it, also what about gays who are pedophiles that's something someone may ask' I'd call them dumb too because I guess I'm one of those weirdos who thinks we should have actual values and stand by them unlike Taibbi who's main values seem to be 'pay me for my mediocre writing'.
