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.

She is absolutely not the same as Brace in this regard. That guy has gone through some serious poo poo, and I've enjoyed listening to someone who has experienced a lot of the same things I have with addiction in a field (left podcasting) where the vast majority of people have not dealt with things like that (I lol'd at the part in the first The Game episode where he mentioned opiate withdrawal causing you to "cum instantly but it's the worst feeling ever" - not something that is mentioned much, but absolutely true).

Lol at thinking adjunct professors are “well off”

Though Matt leaving the nice midwestern librarian who literally supported his disabled NEET rear end for years for a LA comic… that was something.

mutual aid is the leftist/anarchist version of libertarians claiming that charity can replace the state so yeah this checks out

Oh I know that guy since he's with Andray Domise! The second quote thread is because he saw a twitter thread from a woman with a hammer and sickle avatar pratically wishing death on the homeless for bothering her on the street.

https://twitter.com/catcontentonly/status/1581655428345499648 The quote on the white part I mean. The Judge Dredd part was because the responses to her had a lot of "Here's hosed up ways you can get the homeless around your area arrested and or killed" deals. Her not being Amanda, but the person he's talking about.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Finished Trueanon's series on The Game and it does end on an underwhelming note but it almost has to, otherwise we would have heard on the news that Brace kidnapped the head of Monarch at gunpoint or something

It was still good and its absolutely insane that 'AA offshoot cult that becomes so bad the government arrests everyone' somehow turned into a series of successful child abuse labor camps
