I get the feeling that it has something to do with the community building of various spiritual beliefs as extant just based on the description, given the various failures and stumbling blocks in creating any sort of solidarity in this country

I didn't listen to the podcast after Bernie's campaign. What's Chapo's general take on why he lost?

"Bernie's dedication to maintaining a congenial relationship with his Democratic Party colleagues prevented him from properly recognizing or fighting against their coordinated operations against him. Trump's worse-than-Bush reputation and the Coronavirus were external factors which put pressure on Bernie and voters to bow down to Biden once he took the lead."

Glad we're on the same page, I think this thread should be a space for people to go wild with their obsessions, hopefully getting their posts screenshotted and laughed at by the podcast hosts.

Matts vlogs are good but really unfocused and nobody but obsessive too-online sickos are going to watch them. I hope he really is trying to flesh something out in writing.
Matt's vlogs are top-notch when he's talking about something concrete that he knows well, usually American history from a materialist perspective. His musings on spirituality and philosophy contain some of his best thoughts, but he'd also be the first one to say you gotta sort the wheat from the chaff.

The nadir is when he tries to get into the weeds of "why people on social media are insane and confuse things that aren't politics with politics and think that I am something called a Clownpill."

err posted:

The crux of it is that with the end of the Sanders campaign, we now have proof that the entire system we live in is totally hostile to any meaningful change. So if you're going to continue to identify as a leftist and try to live your politics, there's going to have to be a spiritual dimension to that--meaning a commitment to something bigger than yourself that doesn't hinge on "getting the goods." Because we may not achieve any real political change in our own lifetimes.

That said, I found Felix's appearance on You Can't Win pretty dull, and I haven't heard the Girls Chat episode.

Pretty much. As soon as I get out of the shower, I switch it over to broadcast on the network of speakers dotting my apartment., The sickest thing I do, though, is listening to NPR first thing I wake up and as I work. The rage adds oomph to an otherwise featureless day of WFH

this has been completely obvious to anyone trying to enact meaningful social change since the fifties. the entire decade of the 70s was spent being disillusioned with the unsuccessful collectivist pushes of the 60s

that's it? it's a greater project that you believe in, something greater than yourself? things have deteriorated to such an extent that even the trust that will carry someone to work towards a goal without pure self-interest is now the uphill battle

I got to say, it's accurate as can be, given guys like McElwee, but christ if this isn't the bleakest take on it yet :gibs: turn to bloodshed and rehumanize, it seems

Sean McElwee is basically identical to Vaush, who is basically identical to Jimmy Dore. By which I mean that I don't know who he is and I will never find out.

I mean, yeah. That's why, for example, on the TrueAnon stream they were talking about how much the cult of mask-shaming sucks. Because you can't just tell Americans that they have to sacrifice for the good of the community, you can only appeal to their own self-interest. Whether that's not simply not catching COVID, or being able to endlessly congratulate yourself for being one of the Good People who does the Good Thing.
