The Pareene podcast is officially a New Republic podcast, so it’s a little more segment-y and professional

I do not fucking do podcasts but was thinking of giving this a listen and then I just saw this.

omg the podcast is already too powerful pic.twitter.com/a69fwVEbyq

the pareene one was ok, most of it was a very factual interview with an experts on pandemics and US health politics, with a brief and to me not interesting appearance from commentator-comedian walter shapiro talking abt biden

xp same but I’d subscribe to this

Petition for big John to start an onlyfans where he reads classic books of the working class from his living room ❤️

Amber is way into the "ironic" race science

Oh good.

Yo can somebody just give me a quick definition of “jokerfied”? IDGAF about comic book culture but I started listening to CTH about 3 months ago and they won’t stop using this term. I feel like I should know what they’re on about and it’s driving me nuts.

It's like when you realize you're the villain and you lean into it kinda? Like when Arthur kinda fully becomes the joker in joker (spoilers)

interested in Blowback but not interested enough to subscribe to Stitcher, I assume I can wait it out until it's on non-Chris Hardwick shit eventually right?

I read "jokerfied" as basically a more flamboyant version of being "blackpilled", which is to say, the current state of our world and our politics has driven you to theatrical nihilism.

@whiney: it's being posted on the blackwolffeed subreddit.

would rather opt for patience than piracy

Blowback seems a little too much for people who were 12 in 2003

I mean I figured it was more or less synonymous with “blackpilled” but for the professional class, like

Whoops, posted too soon

...like a kind of institutionalized kool-aid nihilism, but they apply the term so broadly that I thought there might be more to it

opening segment really not great but the interview with the nurse was good and infuriating, and I actually learned a few things (ie the physical impact of the respirators on the human body)

what’s up with virgil? hasn’t been on the show in aged and hasn’t even tweeted for over a week

any studies on what COVID does to IBS?

Virgil's working on creating an automatic Whip-It machine that can keep him sedated until this is all over.

I bet Virgil wouldn't quit vaping

i’m on the new @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE episode talking about the connections between Hollywood sicko George Lucas’s ATTACK OF THE CLONES and its connections to the DNC’s child grooming and secret assassination programs

I've been half tuned out for the last lil bit but this...I will listen to

idg Tim Heidecker

ok the My Pillow episode was pretty entertaining

very happy the rest of the nation is getting to know a great all time Minnesota weirdo

lol Red Scare X Steve Bannon

wow I'm shocked. look at me over here, making my shocked face

the only question is whether red scare or steve bannon are more desperate for attention rn

Also who brought the coke to the interview? Hosts supply seems like the proper etiquette, right?

this entire fucking subculture is a cesspit of edgy liberals and literal fascists

death to the podcast left

enh Red Scare has always been the hyper-edgy reactionary outlier of this "scene". no one else would ever stoop to booking this creep.

Embarrassing to see people defend it though.

I haven't seen any of that but I absolutely believe that it's happening.

can someone get Menaker some Sudafed

I don't understand who Red Scare appeals to. Edgelords, sure, but do they have any Patreon supporters outside of NYC?

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

this direction was so fucking predictable from the beginning

the direction taken by whom? some posters and one edgy podcast?

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”

anti identity politics social democrats flirting with fascism using irony for plausible deniabilty

the chapo guys aren't necessarily the worst for this but they've been way too friendly with those who are

?? 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.

amber has been on red scare but we've always known she sucks
