Episode 241 - Hot Couch Nation feat. Stavros Halkias & Matt V. Brady

This is the intro episode I give to my friends and is pretty good at getting them interested.

yes, hot couches are a pretty universal experience so it's a good starter. it also has the Stav "Birdman of Athens" bit.

When the SA Chapo threads talk Leftist drama (especially the other one, or about Twitter poo poo on both), it seems like the World of in-person community-focused Leftist action is overrun with assholes and petty gossips. If I wanted to deal with bullies and social climbers then I'd deal with social situations in fun clubs or lucrative jobs. I donated enough to the NYC DSA for a lifetime membership and have never attended a meeting because I cringe at the thought of "building coalitions" with these loving narcissists. I'm going to attend a session at some point but I know it won't be a cross section of my neighborhood or NYC as a whole, it'll be the people that go to Chapo live shows and don't understand when Will reps Street Fight

The fact that the chapos willingly associate with the scum that run cumtown (they know exactly what they're doing) makes me think (super not hot take incoming) they are all just Brooklyn grifters trying to keep up with the yuppies and pay rent with no effort. Tbh I hear Amber speak and all I can say is she's clearly let the cash go to her head cuz the poo poo she says is relatable to exactly noone but Williamsburg hot take artists.

Cumtown is good. I didn't know what politics were until I gave Chapo a try after listening to Big Dick Will Menaker's guest appearance on Cum Town where they talk about Star Trek. A few days later I was campaigning for the Jason Kenney campaign in Alberta.

I liked chapo first because it reminded me of LF. I liked cum town only after several episodes because it reminded me of pre-nazi 4chan. It’s good in that it’s smaller people saying dumb things, but bad in that it normalizes terrible language and attitudes.

Yeah, I've been to a few of my local meets and it was actually really earnest and inspiring. I didn't keep going, because I'm a nervous weirdo with brain problems, but I'm hoping to get involved again after I graduate and my time and stress levels are a bit easier for me to govern.

Edit:

May be more accurate to say "4chan from before its reactionary brainworms had coalesced only the coherent ideology now visible as anime nazism"

But also I think I get why Cum Town doesn't land for me, more. I was an insufferable Monty Python and spelling bees 7th grader, not an insufferable "does snot rockets and calls things gay" 7th grader, so there's no nostalgia to relate to there for me
