Sometimes I wonder if chapo did more harm than good going all in on bernie, especially with all the “last off-ramp before total collapse” rhetoric. Like they pulled in a whole crowd of disillusioned people getting into politics for the first time, told them the only possible solution was electing a 78 y/o social democrat president and then got all pathetic when they lost. I feel like the first thing you learn in any kind of activism is that you take 5-10 L’s for every win but they just hyped up a whole lot of people and then told them to give up.

not wrong, and if you gotta criticize chapo this is the way to do it, they have nothing useful to add now that bernie's project lost but i guess who even has a project that works now anyway

i'll still listen to that garbage though

That's surprising. The last time I was aware of Greg Proops, he hated Bernie Sanders with the white hot fury of a thousand suns and was a full on Hillary dead ender.

Did they just not talk about politics?

I cant blame them for getting swept up in the idea that a national election could make things meaningfully better for the first time in our lives, even if it was extremely naive. We all wanted it to be true :colbert:

there are few more miserable or insufferable people than those who want to insist their hopelessness was ahead of the curve. so yeah, what the gently caress else were they gonna talk about unless they were looking to cultivate the smallest, whiniest most negative fanbase ever?

Eh, my interpretation of Amber is different. She talks like someone "who wants to play-act as someone with skin in the game." Like a left-wing version of JD Vance (this is definitely overly harsh, but they share the "had a childhood that was working class but quickly transitioned to something that isn't even remotely working class in adulthood while still trying to play up their working class background constantly." See: that hilarious excerpt from her book (I had this impression long before said excerpt, but it just verified the same impression I had before). I don't think she's a bad person by any means and still enjoyed her on the show, but she reminds me of when I tried to leverage growing up in the South for some sort of personality cred while at college in NYC. At some point it becomes far more honest to admit they're you're just an very well-off urban academic, regardless of where you were born. I respect the rest of the Chapos for being completely honest about how blessed their circumstances are and not trying to portray themselves as something they're not.


If anything, the closest thing for a left-wing version of JD Vance was the former Cracked editor\major writer that would constantly type out op-eds that were pretty much tiny versions of Hillibily Elegy, so you'd end up with a lot of articles overseen by him that were nuked during the Cracked takeover + the sex harassment scandal that a good selection of the writers, who are now DSA boosters, thank the Lord they were deleted off the site. At most, most of her bad spots were defending colleagues who wrote some awful poo poo and would try to spin something good from them. Her "As a Person from blah blah blaaah" thing carried some level of respect for the people she was talking for. Cracked under that guy's thumb? Articles on how worrying about congressmen advocating awful poo poo to women or lgbt meant you didn't care about real working class, articles defending war crimes, articles cheering some of the worst CEO practices possible, all in a veneer of "Plz feel bad for me I drank once and I played on a junkyward as a kid owo" nonsense.

As for Taintrunner, he was one of those people where I just shrugged since I could walk into a good part of the threads and find Taintrunner types everywhere.
