Admittedly even though I’ve been listening to chapo since 2018-ish I only became “officially part of the community”, as in i started following the podcast every week and joined the subreddit, a few months ago when i became very politically invested upon seeing how bad the government dealt with the pandemic. as a result i’m not too familiarized with a lot of the inside jokes one of them being this collective annoyance at Amber. I’ve heard some rumours about her criticizing the subreddit and telling us all to “get a life” or something along those lines, but apart from that I don’t really know much about her outside of the chapo realm. Care to elucidate me?

      She has willingly given an interview to crypto-fash rag Spiked alongside Anna Khachiyan, and of course the first thing Anna does is make a joke about trans identity. So it goes a bit beyond just guilt by association.

      Unironically yes. There's something to be said about the company you keep saying something about you. Now there probably are rare instances where people of vastly different ideologies who remain principled can manage to be in the same place at the same time but there should be some explanation for that more than "fuck you, I like these people because they share my hatred of wokeness despite the fact they do it because they want to exterminate minorities".
