What is that godforsaken place :sadness-abysmal:

Literally nothing they say even sounds liberal it was just pure chud brain seepage with a couple leftist words thrown in there.

Can someone explain what I just looked at? because I have no clue.

    Basically if you go to art school in NY or London, or hang around with people who do, you have to be at least somewhat “leftist” to really make friends/network. This is because being right wing is very uncool. However, if you’re not actually left wing, you’re not going to be able to keep up the facade for long. You keep the aesthetics but drop anything meaningfully left in favour of contrarian hot takes that get people talking (also good for the personal brand).

    No idea about the listeners of the podcast though. Presumably it’s all proto-chuds who want a bitchy art school gf but are too dorky or don’t live close enough to a major metropolitan area to get one.

      like half the recent posts are just "ideal RS GF" "average RS couple" etc.

        Yeah it’s extremely horny lol. Apparently the hosts are always fetishising working class guys but only date within their own arts circles, making me think the purpose of the podcast is grifting Patreon bucks out of simps who work shitty jobs.

      When it comes to the hosts plus other Nazbol types like Aimee Terese... I think their entire ideology starts with "hating liberals". And how they define "liberal" is similar but not quite the same as how conservatives define it. But like you said, actually being a reactionary is completely unacceptable for them from a social standpoint. So how do you get to hate liberals but not be a reactionary? Well, there's this "socialism" thing out there. You could just adopt the aesthetic and some buzzwords and then you get to hate liberals all you want without the social consequences of being a reactionary.

      This, except you don’t even need an art school. Corbyn won a mock election with 70% of the vote and greens got 2nd at my sixth form. It was in the only constituency BNP stood a candidate last election.
