That said, this isn't trivial, this is probably the one chance in a generation that a voice from the left could take some modicum of control in the Democratic party. I remember thinking Obama was our chance and then being gut punched by his cabinet picks. I don't want folks to moderate their criticism only to watch the turds slide right back in.

I don't think DNC leadership will be in any way affected by woke circlejerks, quotetweet ownages and account tourneys on twitter. Might as well believe in meme magic or screaming "SIR DO YOU HAVE NO DECENCY SIR" at tv.

Is there any chance as Chapo gets more popular theyll drop so much of the twitter stuff? Got a buddy of mine into it but he almost didn't listen past one episode because there was so many inside jokes/twitter references he didn't get.

I haven't paid much attention, but I think they shift twitter drama reports and chat to premium episodes while the free ones tend to be either focused or dedicated to the guest.

I recommend people to start with either Ross Douthat episode or one of the movie-centered ones

This is not true at all. Check out the daily Shoah episode 99 where they have Brendan O'Conner from gawker on, and also episode 103 where they have a vice reporter on. Totally civil discussions in both cases. I think a chapo/daily Shoah crossover would be really good.

I know that punching a nazi in the face is a good thing, but how can I explain this to others using logic?
I suspect people will try to draw an equivalency to the Trump supporter who sucker punched a protester at a rally, how is this different?
I mean this seems like the ultimate "by your logic" scenario.

far-right people riding the trump wave (A)are an extraordinary threat to the political discourse and (B) are an open threat to several social groups
also (C) media and authorities have clearly failed to deny them space, even embraced them for pageviews, violating whatever social contract they operate on
therefore (D) it is up for people to take action in their hands
while (E) fairly debating nazis only enforces them, because it provides them with the seat at the table
anyone who disagrees should familiarize themselves with the balsach fallacy

protesters at the trump rallies that got punched don't pass (A) and (B), unless you are deep into horseshoe theory and consider BLM to be equal to KKK

Alternatively, neonazis cultivate the mirage of physical power, as seen in their obsession with authoritarian iconography from history/popculture and the worldview shaped by ntr/cuckold porn.
By projecting an ubermensch image, they scare people and institutions unequipped to deal with them and seize power.
A simple physical counteraction not only breaks the illusion but corrupts the image among the alt-right crowd itself: how can they rally around the one who got "keked" and "cucked" and "BTFOed"? Those who don't turn back on the cuck are forced to play victims, but it runs contrary to their cult of power.

I really like that they do stuff like this when the guest is really good/important/etc. Like we make jokes about how much money they get to yell about the news room and poo poo but they actually do run a really solid business model for the podcast and I'm glad it worked for them.

At first I thought they followed the model of prime episode being a news/smart guest/chapo reading one and the patreon one being more stoned goofs on movies or like cumtown adam appearances, but it has been very random for the past months.

Good on them to lift the paywall for the real fire eps.

There are essentially two ways to go about making a superhero movie. You can make a “superhero” movie, (Christopher Nolan’s Batman films or Bryan Singer’s Superman) which takes the tropes, symbols and larger-than-life characters of the comic book universe seriously, analyzing the semiotics and psychology of superheroes and the culture that produces them. Or, you can say screw that egghead stuff and make a SUPERHERO movie, (John Favreau’s Iron Man or Richard Donner’s Superman) focusing on the technicolor spectacle that is the essential justification for the genre and leave the parsing of subtext to film critics and American Studies majors.

People interested in crowning a “greatest ever” superhero movie are really looking for a film that combines the two approaches to form the ultimate: a “SUPERHERO” movie. Whether such a beast is even possible is up for debate. Many people have claimed that The Dark Knight embodies the synthesis, but it really doesn’t. Are the action scenes (except for that kickass truck crash) on anyone’s list of the twenty most memorable things about that film? As great as it is, TDK is a pure “superhero” movie. Other films, like Ang Lee’s Hulk, attempt the synthesis and fail miserably.

The triumph of Joss Whedon’s Avengers is that it never wavers in it’s commitment to delivering the titanic action pageantry and iconic superhero personalities that drew us all to these characters when we were not-yet-jaded youngsters. And that’s why The Avengers is the best SUPERHERO movie of all time.

If The Avengers were just a string of high-octane action scenes, it would already claim the throne, but what makes this movie truly extraordinary is the attention paid to the characters. Considering that Iron Man, Thor, Captain America and the Hulk have all carried entire films by themselves, the main danger of a film featuring them all is that they might just blend together into one Uberhero. But Joss Whedon masterfully avoids this pitfall by focusing on the very different ways that each of these characters views their role as a superhero. For Bruce Banner, it’s a curse. For Steve Rogers, it’s a duty. For Thor Odinson, it’s a birthright. And for Tony Stark it’s a chance to have fun and show people just how awesome he is. These divergent visions of superheroism not only help the characters stand out from one another, they also create the interpersonal friction that sparks the kind of glorious intramural smackdowns that will thrill anyone who made their action figures fight each other as a kid.

By focusing on delivering core comic book thrills, by vividly representing a group of indelible superhero characters that have been painstakingly reintroduced to moviegoers over the past decade, by taking the time to shape relationships and conflicts sharply and efficiently, and by delivering a monumental finale of smashing and crashing that could have been pulled directly for a fanboy’s cream dream, Joss Whedon and company have made the finest SUPERHERO film to date. Until the sequel, at least.

Also, I read a couple of Angela Nagle's essays for the Dublin Review of Books tonight. They're excellent - here she articulates the ideological distance between Catholic social justice teachings and Marxist thought, here she unfavorably reviews Laurie Pennie's book Cybersexism.

quote:

When we look at the major social media corporations, organisations Penny describes as “terrifying”, their platforms are not only dramatically more popular among women than the misogynist geek gutter but they have also enabled women to do something concrete to address the attacks. Leveraging their own profit motive against them, feminist campaigns have succeeded in getting Twitter and Facebook to take some measures to address extreme misogynist imagery and threatening behaviour.

The same applies to Chavez - the Bolivarian Revolution (under either Maduro or Chavez) is of course not above criticism by any means, but the attacks seem to take a very disingenuous line that societal problems only arose as a result of socialism, not that there were deep problems with the economy, law and order and political corruption for decades before Chavez ever took power.

Which is why honest critique of leftist governments should come from the left, without blame-shifting to the Great Satan and closing eyes. Otherwise, people like Kirchick in that abominable article dominate the conversation and failures of a corrupt government are used to bash socialism in general.

(btw what I really like about Jacobin is that it allows discussion and rebuttals on its platform - https://www.jacobinmag.com/2017/07/venezuela-elections-chavez-maduro-bolivarianism)
