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?
listen to the recent premium episode about cancel culture or whatever. It's a stream of endless uninformed, bad faith takes from her and Matt Taibbi. Every point they hit on is dead wrong, and not in a way where it's like "oooh, does that CHALLENGE you?" like they intended it to. It comes off more as weapons grade liberalism, deliberately divorced from anything in the present day leftist discourse.
