I wouldn't say that they are against work. They're completely unemployable dorks who have found a way to monetize making fun of Ben Shapiro. More power to them.

Do you know anyone that works in NYC? If they wanted, every Chapo could take a few years and get into a six figure desk job. Will *quit* that job (Publishing) to embrace podcasting. They're good at what they do and provide a unique place for non-LA-comedians to guest on a funny and politically relevant show.

Taking advice from you on not looking stupid would be like taking advice on getting laid from an incel.

Actually it's probably like taking advice on getting laid from you too.

So I took a poo poo selfie while walking between stations on the London underground:



I just wanted to share the love really despite my inferior selfie skills.

Also its loving hot down here. In the summer the underground actually reaches heat levels at which it's considered inhumane to transport cattle, but humans are fair game.

I haven't listened to that many episodes but I'm behind the general effort, and I appreciate that they're the only leftist community on reddit that doesn't have a stick up its rear end.

What about Althusser and "Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses"? Isn't that more or less the interesting bits of Gramsci, more pronounced?
I know althusser mostly from reading criticism in and around his fight with ep thompson (who is very influential but overrated imo within marxist-derivative historicism). but yes i would compare althusser favorably against gramsci. why? because gramscian hegemony encourages an (i would argue overweaning) inference of conspiratorial and purposive ideological intent from a unified ruling class. while althusser reconciles antinomies of objectivity and subjectivity, structure and action, contradictions between various levels of society, etc., etc., within a larger totality of structural (productive) dialectical determinations. and the latter theory seems much more plausible if far more opaque.

if althusser is a structuralist still ultimately wedded to classical modalities of production, mouffe and laclau are post-structuralists (without being textualists) who try to rewrite classical stageism altogether. the results take them quite a bit far afield from the classical texts but they provide an interesting way out of certain basic problems.

Sincerely this. /r/chapotraphouse is actually good and doesn't do ridiculous ideological purity bullshit. If you constantly call every woman a oval office or be a TERF or something, you'll be banned, sure, but just saying something's stupid (or even RETARDED!) won't. You can get a buncha the language police on your case from time to time, but it's less egregious than how /r/latestagecapitalism will literally ban you for saying something's idiotic/moronic/stupid/dumb/lame. Because ABLEISM.

Actually chapo trap house attracts the worst people, and I'm saying this as a leftist.

ThatBasqueGuy posted:

who the gently caress is actually gonna keep paying for their podcast let alone buy the book lmafo

All of those quotes are accurate and I agree with them.

Chapo Trap house is good to listen to if you've never read a book with political themes or have only scratched the surface on political theory. They tend to give a very PolSci 101 level take on things, which does them and their listeners a disservice imo.
Instead of giving the people making 5 figures apiece per month more money you would be better served to buy some general books about political theory and ideals. Wealth of Nations and the Communist Manifesto will give you a better understanding of left wing and right wing politics than listening to all of Chapo can give you.

I'd be interested to hear The Robot clarify what he means by "attracts the worst people"... no clue what he actually considers that to be.

Anyway, after binging on the Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson episodes because of this thread, I have to say they were funnier than I expected, so I assume I'm officially one of the bad leftists instead of one of the good ones now.
