First episode I listened to was a justification for Russian nazis and the second I listened to called childless people losers. I don't care to listen to any more of it. Is the name a joke or something? Why would you name your website after these losers? The people on /r/blackwolffeed are nothing but terfs and hate on identity politics and trans people. I don't feel like the brand of leftism chapo is selling is something I want to buy. It's like hey free healthcare but your not a woman and don't mention race exists. If mods are gonna ban me for hating on this podcast than do it, I don't want to be here if they support it. However if you fine people don't like the podcast, I ask you for your support to change the name, because I haven't found a raunchier trans space. I recommend John Waters Fun House, can this thread just be a struggle session of coming up with better names than one of a shitty reactionary podcast? Thank you.

    Believing that Chapo dictates people's political beliefs (ie turns them from a good leftist into a reactionary leftist) is the same kind of thought as the brand recognition people though. The brand recognition people think the aesthetics and the podcast turns people into good leftists. Both share the idea that a radio show is responsible for people's politics and what happens with the leftist project. It's ahistorical, not dialectical, and certainly lacks materialism.

    That being said I'm 100% fine with a name change. arctic.chat would be cool because arctic means where the bears live, though it does also carry a connotation for the global north, which is a minus. arct itself just means bear. but arct.chat is a little weird.

    If we're building a pipeline we need to build one that gets people out of this headspace of thinking the battle for the soul of the world is in policing media consumption. Even if Chapo was a literal Nazi podcast, it has absolutely nothing to do with what people are doing on the streets right now.
