I liked the part when Travis wore a piss shirt to an interview about the trolls movie

IIRC, he changed into the piss shirt before going to the meeting. Because I'm pretty sure it was the same day they went to E3, which is why Justin is wearing a Trolls tie, and Travis is not visibly wearing the piss shirt in the video

I mean if we must do “leftists vs libs” chat, horseshoe theory is pretty much like the politics version of bell curve for people who are “socially liberal but economically conservative”

which I guess the bell curve also is/was for a while, though it’s thankfully losing credibility in many circles

Horseshoe theory is very 2017. I thought even most centrists realized that argument lost all of its convincing power by now.

it made a pretty strong showing in the halcyon “big mean Bernie supporters are exactly like Trump trolls (and a lot of them are probably secret racists and hate women, and also they’re gonna murder MSNBC hosts in the streets)!” reporting days of January-March 2020

Hello everyone

Liberalism is inherently a right wing ideology and thus is incompatible with leftism

like this entire derail is, at heart, because a bunch of people feel personally hurt that their favorite Podcast Brothers publicly supported Liz Warren instead of Bernie Sanders

that’s what it is in its core, all the scrutinizing of Travis’ mannerisms and “woke-baiting” and so forth took off after that

maybe, but you guys are so predictably pissy and defensive about it that it kinda justifies my point that this is entirely about perceived personal politics and going after a relatively accessible “succlib entertainer” rather than Travis, etc being cringey or narcissistic or “seriously mentally ill”(!) or whatever.

like I used to roll my eyes at the people being like “the insane level of anger in this thread is unhinged” but y’all have managed to turn this into a parody of what the thread was even two months ago

"You all noted that I was wrong about your intentions therefore I'm actually right" is certainly a take.

I don't really see the anger either. Just folks discussing the McElroy's, which as of late has been watching Travis stumbling and falling on his face. Negative reactions don't necessarily equal anger my man!

Just because people say leftists are mean on twitter doesn't make them "just as bad as the fascists". It's a dumb idea for people who aren't that passionate about their politics to try to make anyone who is out to be an extremist not worth listening to.

Anyway, I don't hate Travis at all, and I don't think anyone here really does. I just think him having a few dumb things in a row this week has lead the thread down a weird path, since there isn't much else to talk about with the boys these days. Hopefully this week's episode is good and will reset the conversation.
