I'm too much of a dumb ass for this but it seems interesting

I still can't stand to listen to the show itself (Jesus Christ, their personalities!), but I'm happy to see that the CTH subreddit has become the de facto nexus of push-back (since “resistance” has become such a fraught and overloaded word) against fascism and general right-wing shit-headedness on reddit. Military and police propaganda (videos of soldiers coming home from tour to "surprise" their kids and spouses, police doing cutesy bullshit with their dogs) no longer goes unchallenged, republicans role-playing as "centrists" and "libertarians" routinely get called on their bullshit. The CTH subreddit makes reddit a better place.

yeah the CTH subreddit is mostly good. there's a pretty broad left spectrum on there, but try-hard tankies are mocked, and they routinely brigade horrible right-wing subs and pester incels and Anime nazis. I support all of these activities.
― Simon H., Friday, 5 April 2019 18:52 (five years ago) link
also they routinely counter and make fun of every bad Amber take which is the correct approach

ugh yeah, i was made aware yesterday of a truly vile piece she wrote some time back about Warren where she invoked both Tracey Flick and Lisa Simpson, which is somehow idiotic, cruel, and hacky all at once.
― Evans on Hammond (evol j), Friday, 5 April 2019 18:59 (five years ago) link
what’s the non-amber chapo take on Warren?
― flopson, Friday, 5 April 2019 19:57 (five years ago) link
They haven't discussed her much AFAIK, beyond maybe briefly mentioning her being less bad than the other non-Bern options. Amber's the only one who's been in a room with her and I think her pessimism on the subject has carried over
― Simon H., Friday, 5 April 2019 20:00 (five years ago) link
I will say that barring the DNA fiasco they haven't spoken ill of her like they have with....basically every other non-Bernie nominee

Pareene was also on Trillillies (recorded in McConnell's home state)
He's on the Majority Report today. I think he's become a semi-regular on the Friday round-up shows, as Virgil Texas has too.

It’s an interesting conversation, that’s for sure, but I like the two Gravel Teenagers in Current Affairs more compelling

The Wal-Mart planned economy guys were a bit sanguine about potential sacrifices needing to be made to confront climate change. Semi-suspicious Matt sat this out because he would have argued with them.

I finally got through that last Pareene show. They sure talk/laugh over each other a lot. Good Martin Van Buren material though.

I feel vindicated by his choice of topics, as my own show has put out several episodes on that in the last coupla months alone.

For those who really dig his talk, might I humbly recommend the episode we posted the same night that’s a more in-depth convo on it:

Matt should do a series of intoxicated histories on various psychedelics. I want to hear about early 20th century socialist party splits while he's rolling.
