fossilized tree resin
extensively. forcefully argued that klacik is only a republican because she earnestly disagrees with democratic municipal governance lol
None of the chapos should be allowed to comment on anything related to black people. None of them know literally anything about the black community, especially fucking Amber.
Yeah at first I was like “why are these Brooklyn leftists totally ignoring BLM and talking about random celebrity twitter bullshit” but I’ve come to realize it’s probably for the best that they stay out of it because they are stupid as fuck
What did they say? Holy shit totally in character for them
It was a weak take, but as I recall the focus was more "she believes in awful shit, but she actually believes it and thinks it will help and isn't just grifting." What the takeaway was supposed to be other than "this is a weird person, here's why," I don't know. But then riffing on weird politicians is one of their bits and doesn't always need a larger point.
Weird how Amber’s “bits” always involve siding with the right on social issues and making inappropriate anti-Semitic remarks
weirdly defending Republicans
My take on Amber and leftists like her is that they hate libs and love dunking just on them so much, that they lose sight of how bad conservatives are.
Hating on libs is good, but don't go so far with it you start thinking conservatives are kinda not bad...
they hate libs so much and love dunking just on them, they lose sight of how bad conservatives are.
Something everyone here should reflect on once and a while. A lot of libs are a bad month from radicalizing, a lot of conservatives are a bad month from setting up a totally-not-racially-motivated checkpoint with a few armed buddies.
One of the things that bothered me about /r/cth (pbuh) was the idea that always being pushed that conservatives were usually closer to socialism than liberals. A lot of weird romanticizing of white hicks as misguided communists that'll surely abandon their reactionary worldview as soon as some DSA nerd tells them that unions are good or some bullshit. It's an opinion one can only form if your only interaction is with globe emoji neoliberal psychos on twitter
Yes the Red Scare pod hosts who she did an interview with in a rightwing magazine.
siding with the right on social issues
Where was that here? "This person wants to do awful things but it looks like they at least honestly believe what they're selling" isn't siding with the right on anything. My recollection might be off, but nothing in that segment struck me as "this person has good social views."
The hosts have some shit takes, some more than others, but we're getting to this weird place where we're waaaaaaaaay too committed to dumping on them for any reason we can possibly scrape together. You can't joke about "what podcast?", still listen to the podcast, get I'm-not-mad-you're-mad when they shit on your forum, then play telephone with segments of the podcast until you come up with something to be pissed at them over. That's gamer drama shit.
We shouldn't be reaching to dump on anyone who's broadly on the left, because how the fuck are we supposed to get anything done that way? No one wants to join a group where your supposed allies go out of their way to take you down, and pissing matches burn people out. Light ribbing of someone on the left is fine, insinuating that they're a social reactionary or even anti-Semetic without something concrete is not.
Amber is a Succ, she’s not on the left. This wall of text to defend your parasocial friend is besides the point, Amber consistently takes the furthest right position she can without getting exiled by her friend group - themselves a bunch of Brooklyn social chauvinists.
She’s the right-wing of the left-wing of capital. She’s the furthest right you can be and still be a social democrat, and social democrats are rightwing chauvinists.
But Amber Defense Squad are all chads of course?
What’s more pathetic? Calling out opportunism when you see it? Or debasing yourself online and twisting yourself into knots to defend one single person you have grown attached to?
Amber is a Succ, she’s not on the left.
Ah yes, the best way to achieve socialism is to take the small slice of America that's to the left of Bernie and divide it up even further. I'm sure we'll have the means of production in hand any day now.
The best way to achieve socialism is the violent seizure of the means of production by the organized working class, something that Amber and her Jacobin clique fight against. They fight against socialism through their rhetoric and actions. They are not on our side.
If you want to win, you need to recognize who is even defending your interests or on your side of the battle. Refusal to recognize an enemy does not make them your friend, it makes you vulnerable and naive.
Some folks seem to want idols and get very upset when podcast hosts don't live up to that expectation.
No some people are just sick and tired of social democrat reactionaries and opportunist grifters infesting leftist spaces and your refusal to oust them
Oh well then as the CEO of the leftist space that is the podcast Chapo Trap House, I will immediately go fire Amber
shes fired
Weird how all the criticisms of Amber are for her dogshit politics and not her gender
Ironically she would hate you using liberal “idpol” logic to defend her.
Weird how racists are actually really very earnestly concerned about black on black crime
The difference is I can easily debunk those arguments.
You cannot debunk the arguments showing Amber as a social chauvinist, so you have to resort to this
not really but i dont care enough to defend amber
words of wisdom tbh
She did have an ad where she said she wants to kick Democrats out because she believes black lives matter or some shit. She's running to be my rep
Let those leftists who haven't gone on a 30 minute coke fuelled rant about how you love a Republican grifter throw the first stone.
barrett was definitely chosen primarily because she's a young female ghoul
Barret was chosen because she worked on Bush v Gore, same reason as Kavanaugh.
Yeah the Federalist Society mints these assholes by the dozen.
It’s because she stood with the right for their coup in Florida in 2000, and they know she will stand with the right for their judicial coup in 2020.
Hell, Biden said that at one of the debates. And they criticized Bernie for saying he'd pick the best candidate for the position.
Gotta love the Dems for just teeing this shit up for the right.
As a Black Woman from the MD-7 who has met Klacik, lolfuckherandherfiveheadedass.
There are a ton of “Black Republicans who are only republicans because the Dems in Baltimore suck” but a lot of them are socially conservative fuckboys or straight up politically illiterate.
it's like a cohen brothers film, when labor is weak labor is weak
A distinction without a difference. Also, do you know that amber read Moby Dick?
What is this mythical time period when America was "good"? And no confusing your childhood for a good USA.
She bugs me because her name is like the most bizarre way you'd try to misspell "classic".
People really do make up more and more details about that story every time someone tells it. For the record, Anna told them to write down that only she was trans (not Amber) because she thinks she looks clockable as trans and people might actually fall for it and that would be funny to her, not because people would pay more attention to them or whatever.
The Dems want roe vs wade over turned. This week basically Allow them to set the clock back decades and they will only fight on that front.
Oh would you look at that, more Nazi propaganda on the front page.
Y'all are a bunch of useful idiots.
How is this Nazi propaganda? It's literally making fun of one of the hosts for gushing over this person. Lmao, get a fucking grip.
We post dumbass takes and dunk on them all the time, what are you on about?
That being said, I agree it would be better for radicalizing libs if we succinctly explain why those takes are bad and reactionary, instead of just assuming everyone will understand why.
