when i have eye strain and/or headaches, i like to turn the lights off, lie down, and listen to something, in hopes of falling asleep. some of the things i listen to are podcasts. it's cool, to me, when the podcast thread talks about those things.

ps: i'm employed by the police, and the intelligence services

edit: can't wait to queue up the dulcet tones of the two slavs and nagle to hear the good poo poo that i love

thinking about making a girls chat effortpost, linking to the article ashley(?) published about that alt lit guy trying to groom her, as a literal child. and maybe some other links to stuff they posted on reddit, detailing their weird as hell situation

i was going to post something which included all the tweets but i'm too inept at using twitter to do it.

one of the girls chat hosts published this article: https://thenewinquiry.com/grooming-style/

then the red scare girls made fun of them, basically saying they should at least be profitting off their misery. so the girls chat gals made a podcast as a joke, as a way of asking for patreon donations. despite that they ended up having people like glenn greenwald on lol.

there was some other background info they posted on reddit, but it's medical info about being trans and stuff so i dont feel comfortable digging it up and reposting it here.

if this all sounds like irony poisoned nonsense for people whose brains have been destroyed by the internet, that's because it is.

i do reccomend checking out that article if you know what alt lit is tho

edit: the unironic parts of the podcast are that the hosts are both professional dominatrixes and devout catholics

they started the show as a joke. then they invited people who were controversial on twitter on to podcast, and were invariably nice to them, usually giving them enough proverbial rope to hang themselves. it ends up being weird and funny, imo

Is the girls chat interview with John McAfee worth listening to? By which I mean does he say a bunch of bonkers poo poo?

i liked the parts where they interviewed the millennial teen that's radicalizing him, and when they accidentally offended him. i have no recollection of what he actually said so it probably wanr that ridiculous. he was brimming with energy tho

hot take: if you stop viewing economics/race/gender etc. as being interlocking autonmous systems, and instead see them as aspects of one integrated, self-reproducing yet contestable system, none of these questions like "is it class OR social issues?" even arise. you just start focusing on the concrete phenomena, and forming abstractions on ur own that detail how these concrete phenomena persist over time


still workshopping this take

get that OUT of my face posted:

amber is self-described appalachia trash so that means she's probably scots-irish, right?

she actually said what her ethnicity was on some early chapo episode (or maybe it was cum town (sorry) idk). i had never heard of that group before, and there didn't seem to be that many in america from the wikipedia page i read about it :shrug:

i know this happened, but it was like during the 2016 primaries or something so i don't remember the details. this post isn't funny or helpful, but maybe someone itt actually remembers what she said.

edit: also "appalachia trash" is a perfect example to demonstrate my earlier point. it's a category that's neither entirely ethnic and/or racial, nor is it purely economic.

joe rogan's a useful idiot, in the sense that his ideology/interviewing style can be used as a means to further political ends that he himself wouldn't agree with, if he had any awareness of what was going on. the right has realized this and taken full advantage of it. i don't see any reason the left shouldn't treat him the same way. there's an argument that one shouldn't legitimize or mainstream him, but he already has one of (if not the most) popular podcasts in the world.

imo the left should just see his show as just another contested space where politics takes place. from this perspective, not going on is analogous to needlessly ceding territory

capitalism fucks over everyone who isn't a capitalist, to different degrees, which includes the vast majority of white dudes. and, hell, radicalizing white dudes against capitalism rather than immigrants or women or whatever is probably a good idea

Helsing posted:

The development of capitalism through technology, or the 'mode of production', is the historical materialist explanation; "the hand-mill gives you society with the feudal lord; the steam-mill society with the industrial capitalist." Europe reached the Americas through advances in shipbuilding and navigation and they were able to exterminate and enslave the peoples they encountered in large part thanks to gunpowder and steel weapons.

explaining capitalist development solely through technology, in the sense that all social/political development is a product of technological development, is a questionable interpretation of historical materialism. some people have taken that view so i'm not gonna say it's simply dumb and wrong but i don't think it's right, either as an interpretation of marx or as an overarching explanation of what has actually happened

Technological innovations don't overcome the impositions of social structures in themselves. Like, you can't have capitalism just because some guy has a steam powered factory - if the factory has lien on it from an aristocracy.

yeah, agreed. technological determinist takes on historical materialism seem wrong to me for many reasons, most importantly the fact that they can't account for why the class struggle matters

edit: it's also worth noting that technological innovation is heavily influenced by social structures, so there's a back and forth causal relationship between them
