I guess I’d be annoyed if one of the Chapo guys or gal actually says “actually a vote for Trump is good and you should do that”

I don’t listen to the podcast, but the subreddit has gone way crazier way faster than I expected. They’re already deep into “ironic” pro-Trump posting
― Dan I., Thursday, April 9, 2020 4:14 PM (forty minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink
?? i see one post there from a british person making an obvious joke
they're joking about "a vote for x is a vote for trump", i don't see anyone actually saying they're pro-trump
the subreddit is also hated and disavowed by the actual chapos
and the actual anti-idpol subs hate it for being pro-idpol lol
ffs i don't even listen to this podcast don't make me post here

They’ve never had the Red Scare people on, they have had numerous trans guests, POC guests, labor and community organizers...
It seems like the main requirement for criticism is still to not have actually listened to the podcast.

I kind of want to listen to that. Kind of suggests he's not at the height of his influence though.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 9 April 2020 22:06 (four years ago) link
i listened to it.
bannon was praising ocasio-cortez a lot and said the future was "left populism" vs. "right populism" and it wasn't clear yet "who had the better answers" for "the little guy." the hosts lightly pushed back against bannon's support of aoc. then they argued with him about employer-based healthcare. then at the end they told him they loved his style and that the multiple layered shirts was an attractive look.
― treeship., Thursday, 9 April 2020 22:11 (four years ago) link
sounds about right
― brechtian social distancing (Simon H.), Thursday, 9 April 2020 22:12 (four years ago) link
dasha (the one that was a sailor meme before she was a podcast host) at one point lightly questioned trump's racist appeals and bannon said his usual thing, that what matters is that you're a "citizen" blah blah "economic nationalism." it was a very predictable episode.
oh yeah, also, bannon thinks that the virus might have leaked from the virology lab in Wuhan.
― treeship., Thursday, 9 April 2020 22:13 (four years ago) link
bannon is surprisingly ingratiating when he talks, constantly praising liberals and leftists and looking for common ground with his interlocutors. I've noticed this before. it's an act i guess?
― treeship., Thursday, 9 April 2020 22:16 (four years ago) link
were anna and dasha actually pro-AOC? i thought they despised her
― ℺ ☽ ⋠ ⏎ (✖), Thursday, 9 April 2020 22:20 (four years ago) link
no, they were against aoc. bannon was for aoc.
lol.
― treeship., Thursday, 9 April 2020 22:21 (four years ago) link
like, he didn't agree with her, but he like the idea of "millennial candidates" coming up through the "grassroots."
one point that should have been asked, but wasn't, was whether bannon still supported the "deconstruction of the administrative state." it was exactly that philosophy that led to trump firing the pandemic response team in 2018.

Has Felix's sister ever been on an episode before? I'm cracking up at how they start sounding like each other as the dialogue goes on

I've not really listened to Chapo or similar that much so I may have this wrong, but how does this Dirtbag Left fit alongside the Populist Berniebro Left of Krystal Ball, Kyle Kulinski et al. There seem some parallels but Krystal, Kyle and others seem to make a point of speaking in very everyday terms, not defining as socialist. Are the chapo people further left, or is it just a case of presentation?
― anvil, Tuesday, 14 April 2020 21:17 (four years ago) link
idk where those people stand but the CTH posse identify as socialists and their live events tend to have DSA recruitment people canvassing the entrance

The more I learn about the Chapo hosts and the timeline of the podcast, the more it seems to me like Amber and Virgil were brought on to do the work of appealling/signalling to an alt-right-adjacent troll audience so the original hosts could pretend their hands were clean.— Gwen Snyder is uncivil (@gwensnyderPHL) April 22, 2020
