    I don't see how there isn't some falling out between the two of them eventually. She seems so constantly done with his shit lmao

      Yeah that voting as an individual act bit from a few weeks ago bit from Virgil was annoying af and Virgil is one of my favorite chapos.

      He sincerely was not arguing in good faith

        That was such a tedious and pointless distinction to try to agonize over.

            Even so, whether voting is a collective or individual act is an unimportant philosophical distinction. I don't care if you consider it collective or individual.

        Yeah, I agree more with Virgil than Brie, and I would say that under our neoliberal system voting is an individual act and an aesthetic choice that can foster no real change so long as a politicians are controlled by capitalists (unless you're voting for revolutionaries). But whatever point Virgil was trying to make was so poorly and obtusely argued that I was angry with him on behalf of Brie.

      I hope not. They're a good duo. But she has every right to be tired of his shit - he may have some deeper/more interesting takes, but she's constantly making extremely well-supported basic points and he can't find in himself the decency to just go along instead of weirdly devil's advocate/irony-shitpost-ing everything.

        Anyone who refuses to concede any points on Star Trek space NATO that Wyatt Cenac laid out infallibly deserves the Virgil Texas posting treatment.

          I'm not a trekkie, so I could be wrong, but I thought Brie and Wyatt both had good points, so she didn't need to concede anything. And even if she was wrong that one time, she was right 9 other times and Virgil was the one being silly.
