    "The righties have it the worst"

    Yeah, real leftist hours there. Real "Marxism without identity politics" happening in that sub.

      HEY BRO, don't minimize the stupidpol experience! The things they can't do without saying slurs: express their opinion, discuss a book they read, explain how they acquired a new skill, thoughtful critique of society (that we live in), encourage others to improve their lives, singing the praises of offline organising

      Now they have to resort to what they have totally not always done: whine about internet culture with a red flair. Uplift stupidpol voices in these trying times!!!

    Meanwhile our admins are over here covered in grease as they emerge from an open control panel with sparks flying out, gears and springs all over the floor, and blood soaking one leg of their pants, all like, "GUYS WE CAN SAY SECRETARY NOW!"

    Is stupidpol just former Trumpists who regretted willing him into power with meme energy after he fucked up every single aspect of the presidency, and have since become "leftists" who haven't quite come to grips with how calling people slurs is kinda bad, actually?

      Volterinede said some kinda gross shit and then got bullied for it on /r/anarchism, and instead of doing self reflection he doubled down and went over to Stupidpol.

      Fun fact: dude did his PhD on the Zapatistas.

    This shit and using the r-word, for fuck's sake, this is the shit that I hate the podcast for. They've relegitimized using slurs as insults because I don't know what stupid justifications but it's silly in the goddamn year 2020 to hear 30-year-old men using that word casually.

        I know they don't say the f-word, but I have seen an explosion in people saying and defending the r-word and it is 100% related on the left.

          That's so... juvenile. I thought people grew out of using that word as a slur after 9th grade. These people are pathetic.

            I've literally seen people on CTH defend using it because Felix uses it (I think others have too though to be clear) and they get mad when you tell them that's a fucked up thing to say. It seems that most of those idiots peeled off to stupidpol and revealed themselves to essentially be chuds who want healthcare, but there's dumbasses around who subscribe to the South Park school of slurs.

              pretty sure Felix apologized after using it on twitter, to my knowledge I haven't heard it on the podcast since... maybe the 9/11 Reign Over Me episode?

                I'd love to see evidence of that, also he could apologize for bullying me would be cool too

                  well, me too but I'm going to retract it instead of going to twitter dot com to see if I can find it for you sorry I can't handle twitter today

                    No worries. I think the damage is still done though, I see way too many dumbasses defending it.

        CTH sucks for their association with Nick Mullen and the rest of the weird almost Nazbol-esque Weird Twitter former FYAD motherfuckers, and they’re absolutely to blame for that too

            I remember this weird transphobic lesbian Catholic who was inexplicably linked to Felix who was just a real nasty asshole to me on Twitter for ages, but she had the worst takes on what she called transtrenders.
