Yeah, I now that exact area - what they call Desert Hills. My wife drives through there on her way to work every day. I'm still about 25 minutes from there. That place is a hotbed for recent retirees buying up all the available land and building new. Minus the politics it would otherwise be a beautiful area. At one point it was way more rural but in 10 years time it'll just be strip malls and ranch-style McMansions to the horizon. Pre-election I'd guess it probably had the most TRUMP 2020! flags per-capita than just about anywhere else in the valley.

Caught a bit of the Buck and Travis show while I was running errands, I thought they were going to alternate days or something but apparently they're both hosting the show. Buck talked about how he'd gone to the border unlike Kamala, and how everyone he saw crossing the border was wearing a bracelet which meant they were all actually working for the cartels. Later they talked about how there was a parent rebellion against CRT in Loudon County Virginia and how all the parents there were fed up with the pro trans agenda and making white children cry by teaching them about slavery. Led to some great talk about "Well AKSHUALLY the United States only had slavery for 80 years, that's nothing compared to the entirety of human history! Also from 1619 to 1783, the US wasn't even an independent nation so actually it's really Britain's fault if you think about it, you should be asking them for reparations!" Sure some people were born into slavery and lived their entire lives in slavery, but I don't know why liberals are so mad since it was really practically no time at all!

If you take a long enough view of history, every atrocity is just a blip! Hell, the Earth itself has been around for a cosmological microsecond, so nothing we do here matters! LET'S GET WEIRD

Like with the latest crop of populist figureheads, the right wing grift creates an artificial elevation of these people to the highest total exposure of anyone in world history and i hate it

FilthyImp posted:It does suck that he gets the unearned credit but at least you can rest easy knowing the little oval office relies 100% on his dad's astroturfing to be legit and is likely miserable because all he wants to do in life is mechanically play violin. If you read his novel it becomes abundantly clear that he wants to be a screenwriter for action movies, at least after he had to give up on his dreams of being a war hero. Behind the Bastards will periodically read a few chapters for a filler episode. It's just awful.

He first tried to make it as a screenwriter in Hollywood and failed spectacularly. The Some More News video on him shows a clip of him being interviewed years ago by some woman and he says he tried to shop around a dramedy series he was working on and failed to get it picked up and the woman says she doesn't know of any funny conservatives.

(especially after his profoundly bizarre vendetta against the musical celebration of various wettened anatomy)

I’ve listened to about 1/3 of the BtB archive over the last week after someone in USPOL recommended it, and its really good! A couple of the the ad break setups have made me laugh harder than I have in months.

Monaghan posted:A lot of these right wingers crowder included live ti day that no leftist will debate them but as soon as any lefty who does politics for living challenges them they back out. He also talks slow and doesn't let people gish gallop, so it takes a lot of steam out of the standard conservative "debate" tactics. He'll also straight up dodge a gallop question and just ask one of his own. Really puts them on their heels, which is why this clip is funny. Yeah in terms of big news and media players, Seder is just a youtube/podcast nobody but I like him.

The main thing that stands out about that Shapiro book is just how laughably bad it's written. Like, you almost have to TRY to write that terribly but you can tell he's dead serious which only serves to make it worse.

Chapo Trap House did a reading series over a bunch of episodes and was real good. There's a scene where a cop is tricked into killing an unarmed Black child by a race hustler. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1FLVnzMBIY They did an entire episode on his book the Right Side of History which is just as poorly written but in a much more boring way.

It's called the Right Side of History (despite him once tweeting he hated that idea) and there are long passages where he dryly recites statistics. Which is something he does in True Allegiance and I thought Will from Chapo was doing a bit when he started reading off statistics about Detroit but no that was actually in the book. He also lies about some statistics like saying we have better infant and child mortality than Cuba.

Every time Ben Shapiro's terrible fiction writing is brought up, I feel the pathological need to point out that he also wrote a literal vore fiction short story where the moral was somehow "climate change isn't real, checkmate liberals". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7CaKL5Ebw4
