This probably ain't the place to have this conversation but there's a lot of ironic-left podcasts and media that drop slurs and fall back on "Well we're ironically doing it to make fun of the right"

The first result I found typing in "Cumtown Antisemitism" was some twitter callouts about them laughing at slurs in 2019 and a YouTube video highlight about "Chinese Jews lol" complete with really racist chinese accents

So yeah, maybe don't do ironic racism, you aren't owning the right by saying the same things actual racists say

That's exactly why Paradox LPs in the subforum had to start banning "ironic" racism/sexism.

Some people say they have one political belief but actually they're lying and using it as a shield to cover up for something else. That applies to pretty much every spot on the spectrum. There, we did it. That's pretty much the conversation.

For the record: It was an episode—no idea which one or when—where they almost immediately went into some "Hebrew is just a bunch of phlegmy noises" poo poo, and it devolved from there. It was the beginning of the end of me listening to Chapo, too, because of their overlap and becoming increasingly attuned to their reliance on similar edgelord poo poo.

BACK TO WRESTLING:

I watched the first entry in the "Conversations with Conrad" series on AdFreeShows, with Jim Herd. (Disclaimer: I did some of the research work for Conrad on this one.) As long as you know going in that you're watching an interview with an 88 year old man, it's quite good. There are some questions where he doesn't give especially good answers, but overall, his memory is excellent, especially on the bigger stuff. The highlight might be when Conrad was asking about Flair being ousted in 1991 and how Luger's contract related to that: When Conrad gives the figure for Luger being reported at the time, Herd gets agitated for the only time in the whole interview and interrupts to say that "Lex NEVER got more than [$]240[,000/year]! Never!"

Brace and Dasha of Red Scare.

That said, again, I don't think that Brace is anti-semitic.

However, the notion that he can't be because he is Jewish is silly. Two words: Stephen Miller.

I'd say Red Scare is the other one too, anything involving Aimee Terese, but this is also just getting to more bad "leftists"/class reductionists

Brace is cool met him at DSA convention last year and was too nervous/anxiety ridden from the convention beyond small conversation (see also me meeting Tim Faust at a PGH DSA meeting in like 2017)

I hope it's OK to say that the episode is pretty good so far, and it's a positive that these things that every fan knows are being exposed to people who don't follow wrestling.

The Piper story was already incredible and I can't believe Dave was holding back for ~20 years.

BAEST MODE!!!
Brace's reaction to John Arezzi's story and to Cole's complaint against Garvin are incredibly, darkly funny. I listened to the first half of the show on the way to work and it is well worth your time if you are only vaguely familiar with the topic or just didn't really know about it at all.

We'll have an interview with Bix up I guess next week since posting it now seems like way too much sex abuse for one week.

I swear to god he's told this story before. Obviously Bryan has told the Piper stories but I am almost positive I've heard this one before. But there's so many Piper/Bryan/Dave stories that maybe I am conflating.
