God, that one was so fucking awful. One of the few episodes that I actively turned off in disgust, rather than just zoning out and doing other things like I usually do when they're not fantastic. Absolute garbage-brained takes on a whole variety of shit.
I forgot that was a Taibbi ep. I have been trying to give both Glenn and Taibbi the benefit of the doubt for their past good reporting but they just keep getting worse and worse. :deeper-sadness:
Citations Needed just did an episode that covered the same ground and made basically the same points. They did it better, because they're a lot more deliberate and polished than Chapo, but I don't think there was anything too out there if you go back and listen.
glenn's been going ham on antifa all morning too
many have fallen to the epidemic of Substack Brain
The chapos have also done the shitting on Antifa bit.
it's not the primary thing they do though since 85% of their funding doesn't directly come from reactionaries
Yeah true, I dunno if it was necessary to bring it up, but the post reminded me of it and I got salty.
notably the absolute worst chapo takes of all time were in an ep Taibbi guested on

Have they? The closest I recall was them asking "does toppling statues accomplish anything significant," and even then their answer was "maybe?"
