  • Enough revisionism. The "be normal" stuff that comes from TrueAnon (particularly Brace) and Chapo is purely about them getting yelled at online. People criticized them for using the r-slur and they started pushing this "be normal" stuff because it meant not being the kind of person who is offended by slurs. They're seriously trying to imply that the Western left can't gain ground because as soon as a blue collar worker says the r-slur and gets scolded for it, they will not be receptive to our ideas. That's it. That's as deep as it gets from our podcasters. It's not actually about tact in public relations, it's about them not being criticized on twitter.

    People who treated the claim in good faith were duped, and I'm sorry for that. Some people picked up on it though and whole-heartedly agree that the Western left can't gain ground because of online wokescolds.

  • If this was coming out on Adult Swim, I'd be more critical. Since it's crowd-funded and just them goofing off with their LA friends, I can't shit on it too much. For as arch and ironic as Chapo can be, at heart they are dorky theater kids who want nothing more than to create their own version of the Nostalgia Critic stuff. But it's 2026, not 2008 and they're 40 years old.

  • I went to the store today and saw all the lettuce marked down because nobody is buying it. Everyone is scared of the lettuce.

    Eggs can't catch a break because we had that bird flu thing last year. The moral is just stop eating eggs.

  • Straight line from Dems saying that BLM was Russians trying to play on our divisions to this. I'm sure they're all very horrified at this blatant fascism though.

  • I like the idea of Comcast buying 1000 fake tickets to the movie they distributed and sold tickets for just so they can leave good reviews for themselves on the site they own, which is just a review aggregator.

  • Actually, shout out to the grubby regional contractor "SMB" who did this. These guys are truly this era's equivalent to Tammany Hall corruption. Instead of cutting milk with paint they more likely cut paint with milk. They have spent the past 40 years doing the shoddiest construction with the cheapest materials available. I want to thank all regional contracting Hitlers for their commitment to destroying US infrastructure. Now they're defacing sacred liberal relics in DC. What's not to love?

  • Right now he's yelling at his people to come up with something to talk about besides Iran. By about Wednesday there will be some kind of new, hot distraction slop going on social media so he doesn't have to talk about Iran for a little bit. The reflecting pool is done so it won't be that again. Maybe something about his arch? Maybe he picks a fight with Mamdani and flies Bibi in. Maybe he finally fires Ka$h.

    Edit: Okay it was Thursday, not Wednesday. He's pushing this election fraud thing.

  • I'm conservatively social and liberally fiscal.

  • Kinda hard to relate to people when you believe 99% of humans are genetic cattle who should be ruled by religious technocrats who worship the death of all life.

  • Outback Steakhouse. Huge cultural import from Australia during the Crocodile Dundee days.

  • Oops.

  • He was a maverick. A real iconoclast.

    Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

  • fourth of july more like fourth of FUCK

  • More like the material reality of all this shit is coming to a head and they can't really respond to it, because the only tool in their toolbox is abstract culture war stuff. They want to bundle people noticing that they can't afford food with culture war shit, so they can maintain some credibility among suburban podcast enthusiasts by pretending to have called it all along, and show that being upset at your inability to survive is the same thing as watching a historical drama with POC in it.

    The anti-woke media guys are just as bad as neoliberal media guys in their ability to confront the issues people care about. These mfers miss Woke 1.0 so bad it's not even funny. They wish it was still as simple as complaining about pronouns in bio. That was the kind of shit that would land you a $200k a year commentator job in 2018. That shit is fucking over my dude you're going to have to get a real job like the rest of us because that biting commentary is nothing now.

    We have never been more Chinese than in this moment. They doubted us...

  • True Faith is better than Blue Monday imo

  • These people think they can do their own project 2025 shit like some kind of rebuttal. it's too late. It won. Now instead of coming up with a plan on how to dismantle it, they're just going to try to wallpaper over it with their own project.

    It's going to be such a black pill when Trump just fucks off back to Florida and spends the rest of his life truthing about how Gavin or whoever sucks ass at their job. Dems are going to have their Epstein files moment when they abandon their principled stance as well. They're going to get that Harry Sisson kid on tiktok to explain how going after Trump will ruin the economy so we can't do it. It's going to be great (again).

  • Oh no I didn't realize Mamdani has juicy pecs

  • This analysis does not consider the gander, and therefore lacks true dialectical scope.

  • My friend I have done almost nothing but ghost jobs my whole life. At some point it did become a thing where I blamed myself, thought myself lazy or unable to handle basic work routines. But then I got a job that clicked with my personality and it was a brand new world. I realized I'm not a lazy piece of shit, just that the most common and accessible jobs don't work for me. In fact I actually do have skills and can accomplish things and have an adult professional life. I was extremely lucky to fall into a rando position which I never considered or desired. Turned out it was a good fit. Most people don't get lucky and are forced to put up with that shit and look down on themselves for not living up to Burgermart's mission statement or something.
