    Love or hate Chapo, you cannot deny that anti-Chapo posters on Twitter are some of the most insane people on there.

      I miss when more blue check libs used to try to debate or gotcha them on twitter only to get thoroughly destroyed, ratio'd, and memed to oblivion. Sadly they seem to have learned their lessons, for once

      The two kinds of people who are most obsessed with the pod are radlibs convinced it’s the kernel of a growing red-brown alliance and guys who turned into anti-Chapo Nazbols because Felix didn’t like their epic replies on Twitter.

      Most of the bitching about cancel culture is stupid, but it's amazing how fast everyone on twitter turns on someone like an inch from them politically and tries to prove they are a nazi on a barest shred of evidence.

      I still at disbelief at the Antisemitic Christman Reptiles thing. It's kinda affected my attitude to what can probably be described as "standpoint epistemology" popular on twitter.

          Seems like I'm bad at searching shit on twitter, but Matt posted a photo of Alex Acosta (who's not jewish) and made a joke about conspiracy theories being onto something considering how reptilian he looks. Immediately a couple of prominent jewish leftist accounts cancelled him and the whole pod by association for doing antisemitic tropes.

          Same shit happened to Contrapoints at points when she made a video where she discussed capitalism using the reptilian metaphor.

          Edit: Found the screenshot of the original tweet.

        I never really understood the Mattstream stuff about people obsessively jockeying for position in online spaces by trying to separate the virtuous from the damned, but then I started reading Twitter threads and bios instead of just screenshots and everything sort of clicked.
