I think Chapo had a pretty terrible take on COVID because allowing a disease to just freely mutate seems like asking for a disaster.

all the time they spend on twitter and reading news is work...... they're easily clockin in at 70, maybe 80 hours/week show some respect

someone else probably has more info but they were the ones who tried accusing brace of being ‘sus’ because his dad was on a board for some ‘sus’ organization, then some folks did sluething and found out that the SJ hosts dad was literally in the OSS

this is way behind but it was even funnier than that. they literally accused him of being an heir to the Belden cable company because they just googled "belden".

I thought brace actually was related to the Belden cable company? like it was started by his grandfather or great grandfather. but braces dad is estranged or some poo poo and has been since before brace was born

idk i think theres a general problem in the left with thinking that structural failures to address systemic problems mean you can practice a personal ethical nihilism. yeah my individual choices arent going to stop the apocalypse or end capitalism, but theyre still the agency i have, affect the people around me, and ultimately are the fibers of collective action. it doesnt mean buying into liberal consumerist illusions of choice and performance. just like not throwing your trash on the sidewalk isnt going to fix pollution, its still really fuckin easy to not throw your trash on the sidewalk and throwing it on the sidewalk is a dick thing to do for your community

That's true and I certainly try and leave thr house as little as possible and people should be doing that. Like I see friends that share about them going abd travelling all around like everything is normal and than shock of ask sucks they keep getting COVID. But scolding them isn't going to stop them, only State action can. While the State refuses to actually do that I think we should keep advocating for it. Unfortunately the worst thing that could have happened with the COVID response was it just becoming part of our loving culture wars, but of course it became that because our political system is so dysfunctional it can't deliver so let us fight like sports fans.

I tried doing cardio briefly in a mask back before we knew covid 1.0 was fairly harmless outside and 45 minutes of rapid breathing inside one of them just soaked it through, if that's what it takes to go to the gym I'd rather just not go

I do the morally righteous thing and just have doordash deliver my kitkats to my door instead of going out side and spreading the death plague. It’s just that easy.


If you don’t want to do the moral thing that’s on you, but I’m going to keep ordering my daily kitkats (they’re fresher that way).

Yeah it's basically a nonissue. Also given the chapo patreon he could probably afford a nice home gym if he doesn't want to wear a mask.

I keep thinking about how we have all these delivery apps - like you have the tech for coordinating an actual lockdown right there. People can place orders for the groceries they need, the medicine they need from their homes and find someone local to deliver it. You couldn't ask for a better system to be in place already if you had to keep people at home for a month.

"Hey, we're gonna test these drivers for covid regularly and get them PPE and give them government healthcare bennies for life and they'll make $50/hr. They're gonna be our lifeline to everyone that's sheltering in place over the next month."

But no, sorry - we can't do that. It's not for doing that. It's for getting people Taco Bell within 30 minutes, so we can't use it to do something other than that. It's just not what it's for.
