Just started listening, only on episode 2. I love the way these guys talk about about Breitbart, the National Review, and tons of liberal thinkypieces, but the Twitter poo poo is lost on me. I have never heard of Hamilton.

I have a Twitter, but I'm amazed that anyone can stand to read Ross Douthat being ever so precious for a full minute, much less follow some back-and-forth between him and some other hack, and then discuss it long enough to develop inside jokes based on it, while also having time for less ridiculously wonky hobbies.

If your goal is to start a war that will be as expensive as possible to clean up (so you can funnel a trillion dollars to corporate contractors) then invading the DPRK is a pro pick.

SousaphoneColossus posted:

leftist and liberal condescension to undecided/trump voters didn't help but it is not solely or even primarily responsible for clinton losing
Liberal critics are obsessed with the idea that Trump voters stupidly rejected Hillary because she "condescended" to them. It's just another example of liberals' obsession with civility and politeness above all else. The problem was not that she was "condescending" but that she barely pretended to represent their interests.

I'm not naive enough to think that the election was a referendum on neoliberalism, at least not in the sense that the average voter is even familiar enough with the word to explicitly reject it. But I think it shows that people are just exasperated with a political establishment that offers a variety of stances on equal rights issues but no economic program. I'm still only on Episode 9, and what I enjoy most about CTH is the skewering of this political/business/media aristocratic class who are just ludicrously out of touch with the public. Their obsession with civility among themselves is literally killing us.

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.
Your post is like Exhibit A for Zizek's argument that a culture of political correctness just allows genuinely repulsive people to worm their way into the conversation. Of course they don't label themselves Nazis, they label themselves "racialists," "race realists," and now "alt-right" to try to normalize their insane worldview. Recognizing these people's existence just enough to mock them from afar may not be the optimal way to deal with them, but giving them a platform is always a bad idea.

I sure as gently caress didn't read every word of that insane Sir This Is A Starbucks email chain, but I remember some compliments he included where the event planner who hired him was like "Dan was great but most importantly, clean." It's that person's opinion that matters, not the audience's opinion. He's the comedy equivalent of books on management; they're not marketed to the people being managed. And calling anyone "the ______ equivalent of Who Moved My Cheese?" is about the nastiest thing I can say about a person.

Yeah, I'm on 16 right now, and to paraphrase Will, "I don't think Trump will win, but if anyone can lose to Trump it's Hillary Clinton." And this is the Brexit episode where they're talking about how Trump could succeed if his campaign was less focused on his personality and more a referendum on globalism.

One thing they came close but didn't but straight on about the pathology of the alt-right and women is that these failsons who may never have had an actual emotionally intimate relationship then model their ideal in the only intimate relationship they know: their mother.

Oh yea, that too, all the people who did this JUST HAPPENED to instantly turn it to "And Chapo likes the DSA, and refuse to publicly flog him as punishment...So that means the DSA supports him too, and now if they don't publicly denounce him they too are bad irony boys who must be purged."

Like, to be clear I don't think this was some elaborate anti-DSA hit job, but I do think the kinds of people who get angry at a kinda lovely joke they don't get from 2 years ago and demand their mutuals unfollow the person who made it are also the exact same ones who think the DSA is some group of parasites who are going to murder the True Left

also one of the people on my timeline who got retweeted calling for a joint DSA/Chapo condemnation had an icon that was Hillary's logo and Hamilton's mashed up and that was all I needed to see
