Is this podcast just three dudes saying "cum" a lot as rebellion against the PC police, because that's what this interview makes it seem like

It's actually three dudes saying "cum" to support investigating the lies of the Armenian Genocide.

People will go out and protest in the streets, sure, but Matt meant "go out into the streets" in the Weimar Germany sense of "literal deadly violent clashes between political groups in the streets" which dumb members of the commentariat fear will happen if/when Trump doesn't concede. Sometimes protests are violently repressed in America today, but they never turn violent because, as Matt points out, there are few people who are literally willing to kill or be killed for their political beliefs

Yeah, they were specifically mocking people who will grab their guns if Hillary wins, because THOSE are the types that won't last long at all, see also the second American Civil War episode.

He means well and seems willing to listen. He was a Bernie guy IIRC.

He got into a twitter fight with Sam Kriss and BronzeHammer over his constant, clunky comparisons of American politics to pop culture, but recanted after The Baffled posted an article about how that's a dumb thing to do. He was a Bernie supporter until Bernie lost, then he went all-in for Hillary.

Not really sure I agree. Trump had near-zero ground game outside of rallies and merchandise hocking, and won basically on free press and personality. Maybe WI and MI could've been saved, but she did hit PA often and still lost.

The loss in PA is explained by Chuck Schumer's quote about Hillary's strategy, that for every blue-collar vote lost in the city, they'd gain two moderate Republican votes in the suburbs, which of course was not a good strategy in any way shape or form.

I think it's just one of the trappings of legitimacy they feel they need to have.

Chapo even said as much, because a debate is the place where any idea can be justified and given as much airtime as any other idea, an environment where an evil idea like "let's crush poor people into nutrition paste" and a good idea like "let's not" start on equal footing.

Bulkiest Toaster posted:

They essentially outline white nationalism and the problems with mass immigration. I think a good discussion topic if they were to ever meet with the chapo boys would be the validity of white identity or a white ethnostate. The Shoah guys I think would be down with this I gather from listening to their podcast. Chapo guys might need to tweak the debate guidelines somewhat but I think it would be both educational and lead to tons of laughs for both sides of such a debate was happening

But I think chapo audience is more interested in debating a fraud comedian who does nothing to challenge their world view. Which is ok. I am a fan of how chapo calls out memebers of the pundit class and it's pretty funny. The left seems to have a thing about not debating "nazis" even though almost no one self identifies as a nazi not even the historically group labeled as nazis. Pretty funny I think chapo and their fans being part of irony Twitter like to play into this idea.

btw i know left twitter is obsessed with making GBS threads over the russia intel stuff because partially because they think its a distraction from changing the economic policies of the democratic party, and partially because a good portion of the frothing anti russia people are idiots

but holy poo poo, we've known that trump has been compromised by putin and is playing into putin's attempts to fracture western liberal democracies into ethnonationalist enclaves, in an attempt to maintain the prestige of his own crumbling ethnonationalist kleptostate. we've known this for months, guccifier 2.0, rt, jokes about kompromat, all this was talked about before the freaking election

one of the problems with democrats is that their messaging tends to be over complicated, here is a super simple one: trump is a puppet of putin. bing bang bong simple. we're just trying to delegitimize trump and weaken his ability to run roughshod with his policies

there's little to no actual evidence and we can't trust the word of people who spend their careers doing heinous poo poo like arming rebel groups that later turn against us or overthrowing democratically elected leaders and installing US-friendly dictators, hth
