Boy, that shit sure ain’t worth defending. I cannot believe the number of struggle sessions where people told me just to give it a shot and I didn’t get the context or whatever. Jesus Christ.
Honestly Last Podcast on the Left is funnier if you’re just looking for edgy humor.
They’ve also toned the edge waaaaay down since the early “Hong Kong Henry Zebrowski” days.
I haven’t listened in a while I might have to check out their more recent stuff. It always struck me as a more crude and irreverent version of behind the bastards.
Also, know what was super telling about that podcast? That their subreddit was full of fucking chuds, they didn’t think it was a “joke” or “ironic”
yeah and /r/chapotraphouse was full of petite bourgeois “socialists”, what’s your point?
Hearing Nick talk makes me cringe because I know the exact kind of guy he is. He and I kind of ran in similar circles at the same time here in Baltimore though I don’t recall ever meeting him. Tons of chauvinism with a veneer of progressivism and an inability to take anything seriously except your own image. It’s what happens when a millennial chud grows up in a diverse environment.
These are the guys I don’t trust if the revolution comes, basically. It’s what puts me off about brocialists and it makes me to my core fear we’ll never have a viable left, because wreckers like this embed themselves so deeply and then all their useful idiot friends defend them to death.
I don’t want to hear Amber talk about wreckers ever again when she’s friends with loathsome fucks who no right-minded person would trust, as if that shit isn’t divisive as fuck
wreckers like this embed themselves so deeply
wreckers are the people who tried to cancel Amber for attempting to organize for M4A
It’s fine if the humor’s not for you, that type of offensive humor is always going to be niche. But doubting Nick or Stav’s leftism is dumb as shit
Yeah Nick’s a leftist he’s just always saying shitty jokes that undermine any trust that you could engender with a marginalized person, NOTHING wrong with that! Why we’ll have America organized by next week!
What you’re doing here is literally the “it’s just a joke bro” thing that right-wing shitstains do to try to excuse their bigotry.
And that shit isn’t even offensive, it’s just low effort shock “humor” that requires no creativity or effort at all.

*petite bourgeoisie, please use class analysis instead of fascist generational theory
There is a tendency for people to act as if class is in a vacuum divorced from other factors that is very undialectical. They’re are material differences between people who grow up in different eras of capital conditions. The fact that boomers grew up in probably the most lopsided economic environment in history is going to change the way they think. I would say this is no less materialist than speaking on the differences between white Americans and black Americans; sure neither is a class monolith but they do have general shared characteristics.
The material differences between generations absolutely informs their ideological rifts and it isn’t fucking fascist to acknowledge that. Just because you acknowledge that people who grew up in a near uninterrupted period of transfer of wealth from the global south to the US are different than people who grew up in a period of stagnation and redistribution of wealth upwards doesn’t mean that you believe the premise if the Strauss-Howe horseshit generational theory lmao.
Every now and then I’ll listen to one of these and on top of being disappointing, it turns my recommendations into wall-to-wall Cum Town clips until I cleanse my watch history
