Let’s see all the “funny” irony bro tweets while already knowing trump has already owned him harder than some needle dick like Jen Lund or krang t Nelson thus making their tweeting irrelevant (even more so).

i would love to see an alt right guest go on the chapo trap house. Mike Enoch or bulbusaur from the daily Shoah would be really great. They are both smart and funny so I think they might have a really good conversation on where we need to be headed. Kind of a dialectic between left and right

Listening to the audiobook cause I had an Audible free trial and a lot of it does kinda feel like a limp episode of the podcast if only cause you're so used to the interplay but I'm very glad I experienced the Matt rant in audio form.

I think my favorite part of the whole exchange is seeing the fellow who tried to lecture Virgil about his own book, as if there's a weird switch on their noggins flipped about this being a weird necessary thing to appeal to some sort of class of people they deem as "normal people who are regular".

I got banned from Twitter for a week, so McCain is dead and I can't gloat about it, so I'm taking credit for his death.

AOC most likely doesn’t actually think that John McCain is a good person, nobody’s opinion is remotely influenced by her saying so, and there is literally no upside to her not praising him apart from denying extremely online leftists’ emotional gratification

Having integrity or principles is bad folks; moral relativism is great and we should never expect anything from politicians. In fact, we should be patting them on the back for being so good at "playing the game".

I mean I don't really think it's some grand 'betrayal' or whatever but she absolutely could have just not said anything and no one would give a poo poo

hmm yes having integrity and principles about substantive political issues is of equal weight and importance to not saying a dead guy was good when he was actually bad

every politician says poo poo they don’t 100% mean for politically expedient reasons all the time, even the “good ones” with the right stances on stuff. if that’s your standard for supporting someone you’re going to be disappointed by even the most hopeless protest candidates who are just as often as full of poo poo as the rest

I dunno, to me it says she doesn't take the task of opposing American imperialism very seriously, especially when looking at her stance on Israel. I mean, I guess it's nice she's in favor of some good domestic social welfare things, but I don't think it's wrong to want political representatives that are principled anti-imperialists, even if you think that the political landscape is incapable of accommodating that kind of desire.

Like, you can't valorize a man like McCain and be an open advocate of an anti-imperialist politics. The choice between principled anti-imperialist and realpolitik (especially this frankly gainless and hamhanded type) are mutually exclusive.

Yep, it's a misstep especially in the context of her last flub on Palestine and the skill she's shown at avoiding traps like this in other issues. Most of the leading leftish-progressive figures in American electoral politics are still pretty lovely on foreign policy. Anti-imperialists are right to start from a position of skepticism and she's not giving them any reason too change that.

Like, just as a counterexample, Seattle's city councilor Kshama Sawant of Socialist Alternative is saying the kind of thing I wish a politician like AOC was saying:

I don't think it's unreasonable to set the bar there for what we want a self-described socialist representative to say about a man like McCain, and American foreign intervention.

Does AOC have ties to the defence industry? The easiest way to tell where a politicians loyalty lies is their funding so unless AOC, Burnie or whoever are compromised by capital I see no reason to start hand-wringing over every tweet they make.

I don't recall saying she was loyal to the defense industry, but I'm not talking about loyalties, I'm talking about having a certain set of principles. Just because she isn't beholden to the defense industry doesn't mean she really understands how evil of a thing America's foreign policy is, let alone that she has the chutzpah to take it on. Maybe what you're trying to argue is that she is ultimately accountable to people who are anti-imperialist and therefore she will adopt an anti-imperialist platform? If so, I hope you're right, but I think we are right to be disappointed that this isn't where she is right now.

you get no one's saying to put AOC and Sanders in a fuckin gulag here, right? Like, we're saying 'yea, that sucks she did that' and that's about as passionate as we're getting about it, you don't need to run in all 'guys they're not literally on blackwater's payroll we don't need to throw them in the shame hole!!!'

What your asking for isn't principles, it's a curated public persona. You wan't AOC to be a symbol of the left but she's just one person navigating the hell that is american politics. Sanders does the same thing, he speaks out when he wants to influence a policy, all other times he's just as :decorum: as everyone else.
