DirtyRobot posted:Anyway, I'm really enjoying Ghost Stories for the End of the World. It's excellent. But I interrupted my listening based on gh0stpinballa's post ITT to listen to that Christman Superstructure episode so I'm not really sure how I feel about gh0stpinballa right now tbh gh0stpinballa posts here? I mostly just lurk but I'd really like to tell him his podcast is good. Usually it takes a while for podcasters to figure out how to organize their research in a way where everything makes sense and isn't boring but I feel like he came right out of the gate being pretty good, and he has a nice voice.

V. Illych L. posted:wow how? I also don't like doing this "Help me win arguments with my uncle next Thanksgiving," but I can't help myself. So China is Communist when they're oppressing people, and capitalist when they achieve any success of note. Likewise Norway, which is not socialist but is too socialist for us to adopt their social welfare policies. (You're Scandinavian, right? What's it like to live in some abstract quantum state?) Is there some straightforward argument that cuts through this bullshit, or is it like libertarians with the crony capitalism thing, where it's an article of religious faith?

watching West Wing for a podcast is like filming a video for youtube of you hitting your own hand with a hammer, you need to think about the choices that have led you to this.

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:we effectively got a "force the vote" type situation with the $15 min wage, is there a reason why m4a would play differently than that did? i mean maybe sinema will face some sort of consequence, but i'd guess it won't have an impact when she's up for reelection I hate this subject but my thought on the 15 dollar wage was that Manchin and Sinema would not have voted to kill the entire COVID bill that a new democratic president NEEDED to have pass in order to kill the 15 dollar wage as opposed to the M4A vote where over half the D caucus would happily vote against it and face zero political consequences.

the bad faith panel was about the ways that Dems use boring senate voting/procedures/etc that no one pays attention to to make it look like they're doing something but aren't. brie keeps going on about ftv because she wants to get that concept out there instead of the excuses that dems give and isn't so far gone that she doesn't believe that good things can come out of the system

She's always been extremely "plugged in" to whatever is trending on Twitter and what have you. She's at least coming at things from a good perspective and is better than all the deranged anti-FTV people, but she really needs to detach some from these things. Nothus posted:Pair this with Virgil's obvious buyers remorse I feel like Virgil has some level of attachment to mainstream/serious politics/institutions and wanted to be a more "serious" politics talker than he can be with Chapo. It's why he's one of the two (I think?) Chapos with a blue check. I haven't listened to much Bad Faith because it's not really funny and doesn't have enough actual interesting content to make up for that.

A Russian troll farm posted:Trueanon JFK just dropped. Everyone go to sleep so you can be primed for some pilling tomorrow. nice. i feel like a JFK episode needs MSJ to show up at some point since his entire podcast is virtually all pynchon-beatnik JFK era but its a series so it'll be interesting to contrast between the 5-parter on death/corner. the rose cherami story is insane

Halloween Jack posted:Is there some straightforward argument that cuts through this bullshit, or is it like libertarians with the crony capitalism thing, where it's an article of religious faith? I find repeatedly asking for more and more details and more and more clarification whenever they bring something up, really letting them get lost in the woods of details, especially when they use weaselly words like "capitalism" "socialism" "essence" etc. Sort of a reverse gish gallop, if you will, because if they're so smart and understand this so well, why can't they get you to understand it? Doesn't work on everyone, but it at least lets everyone around listening "enjoy" the slow decline into inevitable racism.
