Rogan only apologized in this instance because now Spotify has him on a leash and some corporate goon yelled at him. he probably didn't even write the apology. may've not even given them permission to do it.

Are you basing that on anything other than your own personal distaste for Joe Rogan?

remembered why qanon anonymous is so weird to me and why it irritates me so much. they had this journalist on to talk about satanic panic and human trafficking and debunk some of the myths around them. i think thats a good idea, because we need to weed out the garbage to really home in on whatever truths might be obscured by the lies.

i forgot they're lib af tho, so for some reason they feel obliged to completely dismiss everything out of hand. most gloriously demonstrated when the journalist says there's "never been a documented case of a child being trafficked on an airplane", and the concept of organized networks of VIP child abusers is "top to bottom a conspiracy theory", and literally 3 minutes later he mentions jeffrey epstein lol. but i think he's arguing that because some of the victims came forward that doesn't make it child trafficking, or something? i have no idea what that means either. and ofc no mention at all of the 1400 children who've disappeared in ICE custody.

loving hell lmao.

Also even assuming Epstein acted alone (lol) you'd think the Saville investigation would be relevant here

remember "Abolish Ice"

Regular people who are libs are pissed off right now, and the libs in media are reflecting it. I don't expect media libs to radicalize in the long run though. I'm hopeful for the regular people who are libs though!

Even this I'd argue is old-world thinking. Aiming for abortion to be technically legal but in practise hard or impossible to get is achievable, conventional, very practical, it makes sense from the outside if you assume conservatives are basically sane people who want to reduce the incidence of safe abortion.

But it's not victory. It's not blood. They want the victory, they want the catharsis, most dearly of all they want to trigger the libs. And they get that by going all the way.

most of the rubes think overturning roe means abortion's banned nationwide rather than just left up to individual states

isn’t the the stated republican position so to do that? there’s definitely a way the Supreme Court can ban abortion nationwide by coming up with some bullshit about a fetus being a person with civil rights or some such

they mention it in passing but they have a soft spot for losers getting screwed over by the system and it's notable in that it's basically the same theme of clint eastwood's other recent movies but instead of making the protagonist an obvious self-insert (or just casting himself), jewell is actually something of a sympathetic figure

sure but it'd require 5 justices who actually think that and aren't just institutionalist dweebs who have some perverse respect for precedent and are mostly on the bench to give corporations even more rights

the last big attempt at overturning roe was from 3 months ago and it involved a state TRAP law where they openly said that their intent was to effectively ban abortion, and even that would've limited it to individual states had it gone the other way

on a recent cushvlog, matt was talking about like "future of the left" type strategy stuff, and he referenced agreeing with brace's (I assume he means pisspiggranddad from trueanon) take which had to do with like centralization or something and I wanted to dig into it a little more to see what he meant, but I really don't know where it'd be. I looked at the last few trueanon descriptions but nothing jumped out.

Anyone know what Matt was referring to or where to look up what Brace was talking about?

That is probably this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7biUtvrZzvQ&t=880s for anyone wondering (I went and looked because I was wondering).

Regarding 'the beldon program' I think you'd really need to just listen to a bunch of trueanon. I don't think there is any single episode that is going to spell it out.

On a lighter note, Jamon Iberico Lays chips are sold all around the Iberian Peninsula, so that's something that either Bloco da Esquerda or Podemos could ship a box full of those to Matt as a cultural gift or invitation to go say some stuff about their parties.

Matt was talking about the special Lays flavors and if you don't live in a major city like NYC or other test market you end up missing out on the countless limited editions they do, although this is also partially due to the fact they have regional/national flavors for pretty much anywhere they sell chips

to me it sounds like the Belden program is Brace trying to take his position of influence, such as it is, seriously, accepting that a bunch of people listen closely to his perspective and directly telling them what he thinks they should do

The recent TrueAnon (which I only started listening to recently; I previously had only listened to a few episodes) where Brace talks about being sent to the hosed up "troubled teens" prison-school was really unsettling. He talked about it sort of like how I talk about opiate addiction stuff, where you can paradoxically talk calmly about terrible traumatic things because you've sorta developed this weird detachment from it.

That episode was really informative because I genuinely did not know that there was a big industry of hosed up prison schools that abuse/kill teens. I knew that places like that existed, but not that they were common at all.

In general I'm liking TrueAnon the more I listen to it. They do quite a bit of research and Brace in particular knows a lot about a lot of random topics.
