succesful podcast hosting would be pretty much an absolute guarantee of drug addiction for me. "work" twice a week for like an hour, lots of disposable income. it's a recipe for disaster. which chapo member will end up at the betty ford clinic?

I would've said Amber but she hasn't been around much. Matt seems the most likely.

coke is stupid but consumer-driven responses to the horrors of capitalism are always grossly insufficient

I get more judgmental about coke than even meth or opiates. It's just so '80s Wall Street lame (and maybe I'm biased because it was just like taking really expensive Ritalin for me).

they're performative hardcore lefties. their contribution to leftist politics in the USA begins and ends with the amount of people that started listening after the election and either joined the DSA, became more active, or at least more aware of (sorry) neoliberal ills and the possibility for a better future. early on i said they had a responsibility to be more serious because of their platform, but they've burrowed into their niche and are past the point of reaching people outside of, like you said, talk radio disputes played out on twitter. half of them come from money, they're "problematic," their sister shows are Red Scare and Cum Town. their leftist "credentials" or whatever don't exist and they don't care. neither do i, though i understand why people do - they're certainly not representing their "cause" or whatever very well by flaunting their drug use.
ftr i despise cocaine & what it does to people, haven't done it in years, but them straight up posting a picture of chopped up lines on that dude's book was hilarious. again, i listen to the show (and RS and CT) because they're fun, not because i agree with them. but as always, ymmv
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 10 July 2018 02:20 (five years ago) link
Amber is the only one of them that I get the sense has any activist bona fides and she's almost a peripheral member. That said, I think their contribution to the revitalization of DSA is actually quite important even if it might have been semi-accidental.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 03:11 (five years ago) link
I agree, but how big a part did they play? I didn't want to overstate their influence bc I'm not sure
― flappy bird, Tuesday, 10 July 2018 03:12 (five years ago) link
I mean I was very much a person who had become politically complacent/dejected, and the Bernie campaign, DSA revival etc have actually made me take small steps to involve myself for the first time in years. And listening to Chapo, as much as it's largely just entertainment and blowing off steam, has contributed to my feeling that the world of the possible has expanded.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 03:13 (five years ago) link
I mean I think it's the same as any kind of political entertainment that accompanies a movement -- it doesn't cause the movement but it reinforces it.
― Fedora Dostoyevsky (man alive), Tuesday, 10 July 2018 03:14 (five years ago) link
I mean if you want data on the impact of Chapo you will never get it. But excessive fealty to data is part of what got us into this mess.
