I wouldn't say better, but it's good if you wanna have Felix on a setting that doesn't have him goaded to being negative on folk all the time. (Go to their piece on Anil Dash and Prince, then go to the 4th Scumbag episode aaaarooooound the time he starts talking about Old_Gaes to see what I mean). If you wanna have snappy Felix, Chapo. If you wanna have kind but still snappy Felix, Scumbag. Maybe except the Ron Fournier segment on the 12th ep and the MMA exchange on the latest one. Maybe that was why I particularly enjoyed those?

I do think the Gawker piece they mentioned on the MexicanAnarchist episode was an AdequateMan piece, so it wasn't a "Here's how to logically own your racist uncle" and more a "Here's how to manage him so that his presence doesn't sour for everyone, including him, your 4th of July festivity" piece. So Matt's rant and subsequent followup was either really dumb or really appropriate given the content of said piece.

Matt seemed to imply that his relatives go out of their way to piss him off, so he'd find the idea of "how to manage them" absurb/stupid. Or just the idea of trying to manage someone who's going to spout out horrendously racist poo poo stupid anyway

Man, the far left in the US likes to go after liberals far more than they do people on the Right.

At least the right admits their the right, liberals tend to say their the left and the far left are crazy.

Fittingly it's related to "... And then everyone stood up and clapped" lol.

I know that "... and then everyone stood up and applauded" is from here but I always thought it references the '80s movie slow clap trope.

it really is a weird thing. I consider myself a pretty spiritual guy, but maybe it's a culture clash thing because I can't imagine ever using 'yes but this religious authority you probably don't give power to won't forgive you' as a threat. Like, even my real orthodox friends and family would never tell me 'hey Tatum Girlparts, if you eat that bacon cheeseburger my rabbi won't forgive you'.

Like, I get the gap is in catholic poo poo the priests and all are literal speakers for God so having one deny you forgiveness means more but...that whole relationship requires everyone to agree that the priests have that power, doesn't it? If I'm there Jewing it up do I just get a perma get out of jail free card? That was something I kinda wished they'd push him more on if only because I love it when these guys just admit they're full on 'well no obviously as a Jew you wouldn't be allowed to live in America under this, duh.'

That's the lovely thing though, when you push them on it (like abortion) you get the interview where they try and come up with mealy-mouthed excuses like "well the mother wouldn't get punished i guess" because the whole idea is just some theoretical bullshit that will never happen so they never think about the consequences.

They should have pushed him on stuff like Falangism or how places that implemented stuff like this were shitholes.

The best of Arthur Chu is worth reading but everyone else is not very funny. Maybe Neera just for the absurdity of a person with a very good job who has no reason to flail around on twitter.

Neera is worth reading about because she represents the absolute worst thing about Clintonism, which is that they value "loyalty" over any basic grasp of competency.

Charitable view: In a way the Chapo crew do seem themselves in part of their chosen targets and as circumstances get more dire, former targets either redeem themselves facing a new sociopolitical arena (Peter Daou and Neera Tanden both have slowly started to address concerns stated in the show) or the Boys/Girl have been approached with said viewpoint coming from someone who they deem with more respect/care. Anil is honestly a good example of the former.

Daou and Tanden are only adressing concerns because they lost, they'll switch back to centrist bullshit the second they can. Anil seems well meaning though.

It should probably be a bigger deal that reporters use some website to find people to interview and don't have any alarms go off when a guy clearly in his 50s says he's a millennial.

One of the reasons we are so hosed is newspapers would rather spend money on op-ed columnists screaming about "fake news" than actual fact checkers.

What the hell does being "edgelordy" even mean? They seem like they're very real about who they are. They recognize that most people don't engage with politics the way they do, that they are grounded in Weird Twitter culture and on the political fringes. Is it because they make fun of dipshits for being dipshits?

Seeing how obsessed mainstream liberal thought is with decorum (and capitalism), yes.

Hillary will never go to the protests as she views them as a waste/incorrect application of political power. She only believes that people in politics or the political system can change it. Like how Nancy Reagan helped end the AIDS crisis.

Super rich guy, Jeffery? Epstein, at least acquainted with both Bill Clinton and Donald Trump among others, a while ago was charged with basically a more realistic version of Pizzagate, gets off with a pretty light plea deal after hiring big-time lawyers like Alan Dershowitz. Among the allegations or at least rumors were like child sex parties on a train or airplane or something, aka the "Lolita Express". Think he's connected to that ongoing suit a girl filed against Trump for raping her when she was 13 -- might have been at his house?

It is Jeffery Epstein; he owns a private island in the US Virgin Islands. The Lolita Express was his jet that took people there.
