What is Antifada? Is that more serious than Chapo, worth a listen?

I've only heard a few eps but if you liked matt's history episodes, I highly recommend this one he did with them about america's historic lack of a real party of labor https://podtail.com/en/podcast/the-antifada/antifada-s-history-is-a-weapon-2-w-matt-christman/

My favourite Chapo fluctuates all the time. Just when I think Matt's the best, Felix some absurd cultural parallel that blows my mind. Then Virgil has an incredible one liner. Then Amber has a great observation or Will perfectly articulates why some terrible pundit's is just so pathetic.

Halloween Jack posted:Amber believes in actually participating in politics, which is always going to be Problematic and not as cool as online dunks. I don't get the Amber hate at all but I think this is a crucial point in general. It cannot be overstated how different talking politics online is to talking politics IRL. Cynicism and backbiting abound online, but when you're talking with people IRL - especially people who broadly share your political goals - mutual trust is something that gets established pretty quickly in my experience. Matt made a great point once about how important it is to ignore online politics in favor of meatspace politics because there are people online who are basically "goths but for politics." Amber seems like the most IRL politically active of the bunch and so she tends to be the most insightful.

Every chapo is good and great, even though sometimes every chapo is lovely and stupid. The rankings stand, Goon. That said, yeah they all shine... and bomb. Hell, the last joke that really fell through the floor was when Matt was trying to compare the Golden One to Bojack Horseman.

Halloween Jack posted:I was close to being a libertarian, but I was smart enough to figure out where that actually leads (imperialism, neo-feudalism, genocide, and collapse). From that point my politics was basically depressed nihilism until I discovered socialism. literally same, being an angry teen / early twenty something without any proper political guidance is a disaster waiting to happen

It's extremely difficult for Extremely Online people to understand that you don't have to either specifically cater to people's backward views nor convert them to Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism in order to get their support for a political platform.

mike12345 posted:What is Antifada? Is that more serious than Chapo, worth a listen? The recent Antifada episode where Will guests and they interview Kim Stanley Robinson is an all-time great episode of any podcast. A real beautiful palette cleanser from a lot of the grubby extremely online fighting (which is also enjoyable, to be honest) we get all the time from left podcasts.

Kobayashi posted:It's the daily show for the left, lol Yes in that what made the daily show revolutionary was the video department and their ability to find a politician saying not x when just today than had said X. Chapo did that in a way with the reading series by finding the ridiculous poo poo these people said in their own words and well just read it. What attracted me about the humor though is that it in the early days really reminded me of the feeling of LF with smart people effort posting and even smarter people shitposting. Felix still knows way too much to have not been a good in that era.

prefect posted:Matt just lost some ground in my "favorite Chapo" rankings. I went to uni with Matt Smith. He's a horrendous sex pest. Friends in the theatre department were warned not be be alone with him, and to lock the doors when getting changed. Several years later, his name came up in conversation with my sister-in-law. Unprompted, she related the story of a party she attended at a house he lived in in London, before he was famous: she was told someone wanted to talk to her upstairs and directed into a bedroom where Matt Smith was lying naked on the bed. He ordered her to "strip and get on". Man's a creepy oval office and Cushbomb is right on this one
