Social democrat Guy who creates a new podcast every two years because his co-hosts keep radicalising
Waiting for Brianna Joy Gray to do acid at the next CPAC convention.
She should be the most jokerpilled of anyone in America, she is taking electoralism seriously to an unhealthy degree and seeing how flawed it is, unfortunately it will end up in her career as a socdem politician instead of being big-cool and anti-electoralist
People take electoralism seriously because as unlikely as it is to produce any meaningful improvements, it's at least as likely to do so as anything else. Look at the state of unionization in the U.S., look at how little the massive, months-long protests last summer ultimately changed. It makes zero sense to say that those are realistic options but elections aren't.
No one knows how to build socialism in the imperial core, so no one can say X definitely doesn't work or Y definitely does. And outside the imperial core, we have a number of recent examples of Latin American countries taking big steps leftwards through elections.
And yes, people don't want to risk their lives (or get beaten up, or get fired, etc.). But that's a pretty glaring problem with non-electoral politics, wouldn't you say?
Virgil had to go back to his home planet
Note: Virgil died on the way back to his home planet
Without joking or a meme answer, what happened to Virgil after the grooming accusations?
Been absent from the last two Bad Faith episodes, hasn't tweeted since. The accusations seem to be coming from some bullshit troll account FWIW
Your average Bad Faith podcast is 50% Brie, 40% guest, 5% weird technical noises, 3% Other, and <Remainder> Virgil doing a quip.
Nothing was proven, but they'd gotten hold of his RL identity and place of employment so he decided to log off for good
:galaxy-brain: The earlier fake allegations were an op to make this real one seem fake.
According to these accounts, Virgil was born in the village of Andes, near Mantua in Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy, added to Italy proper during his lifetime) Analysis of his name has led some to believe that he descended from earlier colonists. Modern speculation, however, ultimately is not supported by narrative evidence from either his own writings or his later biographers. Macrobius says that Virgil's father was of a humble background, though scholars generally believe that Virgil was from an equestrian landowning family who could afford to give him an education. He attended schools in Cremona, Mediolanum, Rome and Naples. After briefly considering a career in rhetoric and law, the young Virgil turned his talents to podcasting .
tried to pay off his veterans with land expropriated from towns in northern Italy, which—according to tradition—included an estate near Mantua belonging to Virgil , The loss of Virgil's family farm and the attempt through podcast petitions to regain his property have traditionally been seen as his motives in the composition of the CTH . This is now thought to be an unsupported inference from interpretations of the early CTH.
Virgil indeed dramatizes the contrasting feelings caused by the brutality of the land expropriations through pastoral idiom but offers no indisputable evidence of the supposed biographic incident. While some readers have identified the podcaster himself with various characters and their vicissitudes, whether gratitude by an old rustic to a new god , frustrated love by a rustic singer for a distant boy , or a master singer's claim to have composed several episodes modern scholars largely reject such efforts to garner biographical details from works of fiction, preferring to interpret an author's characters and themes as illustrations of contemporary life and thought.
These grooming accusations have been around for a long time. What's different this time?
Virgil died
hopefully those accusations go away soon, I remember right wing trolls alluding to them months before they came out
