The most sus thing about Virgil is that he was an Overwatch fanatic with a built in fanbase and a Twitch channel but never streamed a game to my knowledge.

Hinge Points is Hell of Presidents B-sides; it's not great but I think it benefits from listening to HoP and hearing Christman building up ideas that he kinda just gestures at in HP

V. Illych L. posted:hinge points is incredibly american in its perspective in a really quite provincial way, and must be read as such. they know some things but have no real engagement with the historical texture of the events they're discussing outside of the US (the USian stuff i can't really criticise since i don't know that history especially well), which makes their discussions sterile at best. it also becomes extremely clear that they're not from any kind of left-wing popular tradition, which really isn't their fault. they perceive the left's history as sort of inconvenient and wish they didn't have it instead of trying to take strength from it. it's all rather utopian this is my impression. i don't have much grounding in history, but it still sounded way off to me

V. Illych L. posted:christman's a smart enough guy to make it sort of productively annoying instead of just annoying, at least. finding his mistakes is fruitful without being too difficult. it's better than most american attempts at cosmopolitan intellectualism, which are simply infuriating After the defeat of Bernie I noticed that Christman adopted a pretty nihilistic attitude towards the world and the broader socialist project. I think he believes that global capital has won, and there is nothing you can do about it. I don't think there is a "perfect" socialist project but I see what China is doing, and the general wins of an actual anti imperialist left in Latin and South America and it makes me really hopeful.

Its weird how so many of the left gave up in the recent years because i’ve been a leftist most of my life and umm we didn’t really ever win much, nothing has changed really

I don't know enough about China to have an opinion on it, but I really do think that Latin America is the best hope for socialist progress in our lifetime. Ideally it would be the role of leftists in USA to stop our government from loving it up, but foreign policy is completely outside democratic control, so I'm not sure how we'd do that.

Tankbuster posted:HOI4 was made for Matt's idle speculations. Here's a cool hingepoint: What if stalin didn't purge the entire army and the USSR actually did push back the germans. matt did a kaiserreich stream a couple years ago but the people playing it didn't know much more about how to actually play the game than he did so it was pretty dull https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQgLMNiiIRs they played as the US and spent most of their time maxing out the naval part of the focus tree

Within the context of capital destroying the earth before global socialism can occur is at least a possibility. Doesn’t matter if China is socialist or not if we all die anyway.

AnimeIsTrash posted:After the defeat of Bernie I noticed that Christman adopted a pretty nihilistic attitude towards the world and the broader socialist project. I think he believes that global capital has won, and there is nothing you can do about it. he hasn't done vlogs in awhile now but they were largely a vehicle for him working through conflicting feelings of still believing in potential of dengism, latin america and very limited domestic labor power versus staring down the barrel of the gun as earth is rapidly being assassinated (its not just climate change) before the inherent contradictions and forces of global capital and decades of individualistic yeoman farmer-wannabe identities can be turned. so no he hasn't said that there's nothing that can be done and has explicitly said that it's not entirely set in stone that nothing can be done. but rather it's also unlikely that much will be done (domestically) before the planet pretty much dies. in another timelime absent the threat of planetary death, global hegeomonic capitalism would eventually be defeated. but that time doesn't really exist. also he would, and has, said nihilism is stupid as poo poo.
