General Politics XII World • Page 507

Yeah. I get Felix has talked quite a bit about, and written about I think, conservative media and journalism, but he isn’t as good 1) solo 2) scripted as Matt was. Still interested though

 

I still listen to and enjoy Chapo, but yeah Matt being gone made me realize he was the heart and soul of that show's politics. It just doesn't hit as hard when it is just Will/Felix/Chris. This really was the first election cycle since 2016 where Chapo didn't really have a big presence on the internet left discourse. I think there are multiple reasons for that other than Matt's absence though.

 

I can see it now - 4 republicans decide to vote against Hegseth, only for Fetterman to break with the dems to be the vote that puts him through

 

I still say 1870s-90s haha

 

Well you know there’s an opening for party scapegoat

 

put that cookie down. NOW

 

Explains a lot.

 

Think I would probably agree with you that it definitely has more that timeframe and then say pieces of the 1930's.

Feel like the increase in fascism and the seemingly potential for popular support of vigilantes takes from the 30's. If we end up getting a "War on Crime" during the Trump's term then that is another 30's piece.

 

To be fair I think a lot of that has to do with the collapse of the Twitter left. After 2020 people kinda realized that no matter how much of an online following there was for left wing accounts, it didn’t mean anything in the end. Naomi Klein’s new book has an interesting section about how words and ideas no longer have power

lol

 

The corporate media consent machine is having a hard time keeping up with support for Luigi despite working overtime. That thing is working like the McDonald’s ice cream machine at the moment.

 

You know if Luigi goes to trial how are they going to find thirteen people who haven't had their or their loved ones lives negatively impacted by insurance companies?

 

One of the 538 guys says this all the time that everything we're seeing is more reminiscent of the gilded age than any other era in American history.

 

That key and Peele skit where they rob the bank by becoming hardworking employees there first. Genius.

 

There are 100% lots of elites w/ sympathy towards CEOs and have never experienced a day of hardship. It may end up being a jury with the highest net worth in history lol.

 

Yeah I’m even seeing people who just have a good healthcare plan (probably due to a union) pushback and anecdote about how actually they were able to get whatever someone is complaining about covered. Even this Luigi wouldn’t have been radicalized if not for having an insurance issue himself. They’ll be able to field a jury, although it does take just 1

 

I wouldn't rule out bribery or threats from the NYPD either

 

Nate Silver is a huge fucking dork. I don't care where somebody comes from if they say good things and in turn, do good things, BUT, I don't think Chris Murphy is going to follow through anyways, not because of where he comes from, however, because he's a huge dork as well and nothing thus far shows me he intends on following through.

 

my man is going to be UNTOUCHABLE in prison
