lmao those reddit dregs are really pretending they're not the whitest crackers to ever grace lemmy, the vitriol they have for black radicals alone was palpable in the first week
Also it's clear they've never engaged with this instance at all if they think our deal is simply being a chapotraphouse fan site, that wasn't true even back in 2019 let alone 2023, lmao why lie about something so easily disproveable

even the chapotraphouse subreddit had a running joke that nobody posting there was actually listening to the podcast
spend years reading leftist theory, but have zero real world experience
I just love this lib classic. I really do wish I lived in whatever "real world" these people live in where they don't feel even the slightest amount of rage at all the injustices imparted upon society by capitalism. Miss me with the pragmatism bullshit.
They have real world experience as a manager screaming at underlings to work harder and stop slacking.
Quoting Bill Haywood
I've never read Marx's Capital, but I've got the marks of capital all over my body.
If you work, you know you're getting fucked by your boss. You may not have the means to put it into words to explain your exploitation, but you understand just the same that every dollar your boss gets is a dollar you didn't get for your work
Yes, I'm sure white and wealthy people are actually more likely to support poor non-white countries, cause I don't see any other types of socialists doing that

r/blackwolffeed is probably the largest Chapo fan community right now. Chapo posts here get like ~10 comments engagement max compared to the 100+ for every pirated episode there.
Aren't the assholes posting shit like this the ones who are saying "China/Cuba/DPRK isn't real socialism it's actually fascism okay"
wtf the audacity of these libs
Absolutely, so it's guaranteed these people are the ones loaded with inheritance money and bullshit nepo jobs from their parents.
Inform these people that you were raised by poor parents and you're currently working paycheck to paycheck and they'll tell you "just learn 2 code lol"
Fuck I hate these clowns
feel like these are bait fedposts to get people who aren't white to out themselves but it could go either way lol.
i spent the last 10 years making like $10/hr or less and now I'm a cook but sure I don't know how the world works im rich
well yeah, I'm white, and I'm gonna be wealthy as soon as my XiBucks arrive, I guess these libs really can see right through us
Some lib accused me of this the other day. My response was
I love people like you who will travel around the world, experience different cultures, talk to different people, and then somehow manage to have it just reinforce your biases and western exceptionalism. Do you really, honestly think that my opinions have been wholly formed by sitting on my ass in front of my computer?
it’s like those extremely bourgeois libs who will go on and on about the importance of travel in helping you grow as a person. Except their idea of travel is going to the French Riviera or some Mexican resort to have their whims completely catered to by the locals, and come back having their worldview confirmed. I’ll be honest I’ve only done international travel a handful of times in my life, but each time was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life which really challenged some of my most deeply held beliefs, and which I credit with pushing me towards communism. These people tout the importance of “getting out in the real world” except somehow manage to have the same opinions as someone who has never left their shitty suburban hamlet.
These people literally cannot fathom that we exist so they just reason us out of existence. Oh they’re all white shut ins who aren’t living in the real world. Just like how we’re all Russian bots or right-wingers pretending to be queer.
Also lol @ “all white people from upper crust suburbs” as if he isn’t just describing Reddit
I'll finally be wealthy once all these Soros-bucks/wages from the CCP/FSB stipends start showing up... Any day now.

White? 🚫 Well off? 🚫 Upper crusty suburb upbringing? 🚫 Late 20s and older? Yea ok you got me there.
i dont care for felix's voice or manchild persona.
honestly glad hexbear also outgrew that podcast.
Agreed. Podcasters in general are obnoxious at best and tend to involve the whims of the comfortably affluent doing the podcasts, no matter what they claim to be.
I should have added "to me" to me calling them obnoxious. I may be an old man yelling at a cloud, but I can't help that. 
Very few people want to admit that this is the end, the beginning of an imperial unraveling. I see all these debates over whether China is communist or not, whether they’re the fucking Third Reich or something ridiculous, or they’re the saviors of humanity. They all miss this very basic fact: China overcoming mass poverty on a scale we’ve never seen, China modernizing on the timeline and scale that it has, is the only generational human accomplishment of the last 30 years. That’s it. That’s the only thing anyone actually remembers in one thousand years if we’re still here...The United States, European Union, India, no one has any equivalent accomplishments...In America, though, you never hear about it.
in 2020 (in an interview about an MMA documentary of all places)
I didn't want to get so serious, because I like to 
react to Felix mentions on Hexbear. It isn't that serious, but the disdain is real. Disdain like "oh not this asshole bit again", but it did get into during the gaming sessions of 2020/21'.
I do appreciate that Felix and cth has never been anti-PRC/CPC, and has been in fact very inoculated to the hate mongering that goes onto those countries.
That said, Felix/Chapotraphouse-the-podcast didn't bother me before the Covid-19 pandemic. When the pandemic was underway, and the hearing of Felix's very loud gaming over the microphones, and the realization that Felix was pushing 30 or was 30 at the time, did I come to realize and appreciate a disdain that the chapo podcast had for writers of the NYT and media. The media that they once made fun of.
What was in the background became the forefront, and coupled with my (or our) own maturation and self-actualization did I notice flaws in things that once were quirks or tangents. Not that the podcast millionaires are privileged dudebros having a good time at our financial expense, or that they were entertainers, roleplaying as advocates of social justice, or intellectuals redefining discourse in America.
But that they were just spectating with us the decline. They were panicking in that room, but because they are insulated from the effects of disaster and really just "munching on snacks/wiping cheeto dust off fingers while on the controller" lamenting the end of the world, their panic felt like a pantomime of what real despair people felt. People listen to podcasts like Chapo for levity and comfort, and the least they could do while working (where hundreds of thousands were sent to their deaths by Covid for 'essential work') is to not play video games so fucking audibly. (They were a comedy podcast of news and politics in the manner the Daily Show was, but after their rants and serious attitudes towards the Trump Presidency and supporting, platforming, and canvassing for the Corbyn & Sanders campaigns, their podcast blended more into political advocacy with humor more than humor with political advocacy.)
That podcast, and podcasts in general, didn't expect to fulfill roles of social anesthesia and sedation during the pandemic, but that is what they became to be. And during that time of unease, uncertainty, and dread, the vibe of audible gaming was "damn bro that sucks for you".
summary version for too long, did not read:
I just don't like Felix's manchild persona, nor his literal voice with the cadence of a teenager who never grew up. I was around those types of "hot couch" guys in my youth and they aren't really people I ever admired.
If a negative identity is what you form your identity as, as a person not to be or defining yourself by what you are not, then the "hot couch" guy is an exemplar of an anti-model.
Radlib v*ush (🤮🤮🤮) fans describing how pointing out that america is an imperialist misery machine is a magic spell to remove melanin from your skin and add dollars to your bank account:
