I just hope the fuckers periscope more of Steven Segalls Movies.
His earlier movies, before he went completely down the drain into direct-to-video, are pretty ripe for Chapo critique. Movies like Marked for Death, On Deadly Ground and Fire Down Below have this weird liberal hippie viewpoint where they fetishize marginalized cultures while still portraying them as awful stereotypes. And that's without getting into the environmentalism.

Yeah so, a Chapo thread is a totally appropriate place to diss martial arts. If you want to beat people up, but also avoid maiming them, judo is actually way better for that and it works.

Liberals are stunted half-wits who were raised by mass media and don't actually believe in anything, so they can't even consider real politics except by comparing politicians to fantasy characters.

Like can you imagine Harvard students in the 60s forming an anti-Nixon group and calling it the Fellowship of the Ring?

Never count out the possibility that the liberal middle class will run screaming toward fascism as soon as their own privilege is threatened. But I'm optimistic that you'll continue to see more liberals coming around, because it's increasingly obvious to them that inequality keeps growing, the status quo favours an ever smaller elite, and oligarchy rather than some dreaded Other is to blame. For example a woman I dated, who is doing her residency now, was posting articles about how physicians are shifting from employers to employed and the threat this poses to their generally middle-class status.

The thing I enjoy least about Chapo is the Extremely Twitter poo poo No One Cares About, but I "get" the sense of humour just from being vaguely aware of FYAD over the years. I mean I do post on Twitter, but in fits of pique when I'm bored. I'm too old and crotchety to understand how all these people can be extremely online 24/7 without ever getting tired of it.

Surely the 30k posts you have made on this dead comedy forum would afford you some level of empathy for posting.
Oh totally, but I appreciate that there's an archive of everything I've ever posted. I can find my old posts, I can read Let's Plays or whatever that were posted years ago, I can read megathreads on topics that interest me with lengthy detailed OPs. Facebook and Twitter and Tumblr aren't set up for depth of content, and if you don't engage with the platform constantly, it's actively hostile to going back and reading anything you've missed.

At least half of the blowups and meltdowns on liberal Twitter/Tumblr are because people try to have discussion threads on a platform that doesn't do discussion threads.

I'm surprised that the tradcath thing didn't come up in their interview with Angela Nagle. I get that Douthat and Dreher aren't part of the alt-right, but I've encountered a sliver of young-ish tradcaths who are pretty much that type of guy, they just become conservative Catholics instead. Old Right instead of alt-right, and they repeat a lot of the same anti-feminist, anti-trans, etc. memes.

Which actually makes some sense to me, because if the salient factor is that you're a man who rejects liberal society because you can't get along in it, joining a conservative religious movement is maybe a better route to actually finding your place in a community than going down the 4chan rabbit hole.

I only listened to the recap, so I found it far more funny than it was annoying. It seemed like he really only had one trick in his playbook, and he was totally flustered when his TRUTH BOMB didn't blow the Dry Boys' minds.

I'm going back and listening to all the episode before I found Chapo (about episode 20). Currently on episode 3 and it's so weird listening to them knowing what will happen in the election.

It's painful to think of re-listening to their stuff from this time last year. The episodes right before the conventions especially would probably kill me.

The Crotch posted:

The immediately post-conventions episode with Dan O'Sullivan is seriously one of my favourites. Not coincidentally, it's probably the one where the inadequacies of the Clinton campaign and its messaging are best highlighted and the Dry Boys come the closest to realizing what's about to happen.
I didn't start listening until a week before Christmas, so this is my default Chapo experience. (By the way, "El Chapo" sounds like Christmas music.) And I just recently became a supporter, so I'm going through it again listening through all the premium episodes.

The thing is, they come off looking a lot better than most. They laid out very intelligently why Trump appealed to a lot of people, why Hillary is a horrible candidate in every way, why both major parties are morally bankrupt, and why the media went along for the ride. But then after doing that they just conclude with "...but Hillary's going to win and continue the bullshit neoliberal status quo."

I think the most cringeworthy thing I've heard so far is listening to episode 51 or 53 when Matt says "polls are accurate if you have enough of them."

It did strike me as odd that people were focusing on Nate Silver in the aftermath (via that Onion article and in more serious articles) when his polls actually gave Trump a better chance than anyone else's that I know of. I think it was just that he was the only professional pollster who had any name recognition.

Just noticed this again, and the Nazis absolutely had agronomists advocating quasi-mystical blood and soil stuff.

There are a lot of facile comparisons between Trump and the Nazi Party out there, but one valid one that still strikes me is how many untalented kooks and cranks both administrations brought in because they parroted the right fashionable nonsense.

So then a doctor earning $200,000 a year is upper class? That seems weird to me, I think of the Vanderbilts or Kennedys or some other insanely wealthy and powerful clan of creeps when I think of an American upper class, not well paid professionals.
First of all, bear in mind that a doctor making $200,000 is in the 6th percentile, even assuming their salary is the entire household income and they have no investment or other income. But that's a good question because working class status also concerns things like your working conditions and precarity, and medicine is a profession that's shifting more and more from employer to employed.

By the way, where does the Dry Boy thing really come from? Because I listened to all the free episodes, I'm working my way through the premium ones (currently somewhere around 55, I just let the playlist run) and this is not a thing outside of Felix's weird multifaceted persona.
