She should have :virgil-sad: on, I heard he had his free speech removed due to cancel culture.
I went there hoping to get a better job than my parents had and to drink a lot like a normal person.
FR I went to college because I was told if I didn't I'd die poor and alone
Not that a semester and a half of college courses did anything to change that

Are you me?
She's gone all in on monetizing drama. Really sucks to see. There was some potential there.
I'd monetize drama for six/seven figures.
Could pay off my student loans.
what if we had our own socialist big tent and it was big enough to hold all the democrats too
As socialists we need to be smart and do stuff that Democrats would never do, like reach across the aisle and give Republicans anything they ask for.
As a Principled Communist, I realize that we must build productive forces by giving Raytheon ginormous contracts
Kind of why I don't listen to brie or people adjacent to her anymore. I get tired of anti-idpol rhetoric coming from that sect.
Makes me feel weird thinking that Michael Brooks would have probably been in that general orbit if he was still around. He talked about cancel culture a lot and that always felt off to me
His sister claimed he disliked idpol after he passed, but he always seemed very enthusiastic about Social justice causes outside of the economic sphere. He did complain about 'Cancel culture' along with Ben Burgis quite a bit, but I never thought he was a class only type of guy or anything.
God I still can't believe that Ben Burgis wrote a book called "Canceling Comedians While The World Burns" without a hint of irony
Yeah I remember that. Didn't even bother reading it, never liked Ben as much as Michael.
You want someone who's really bad though, take a look at Angela Nagle. I honestly think she was a closet bigot tbf. She wrote a very weird article about Ireland and immigration.
Yeah, Ben's always sucked. Shortly before Michael passed, I remember there was a Chris Rock clip that started circulating where he said that maybe not all cops are bad, but some jobs that's not good enough. Like, an airline can't say "most of our pilots like to land". Michael brought Ben on and he legit spent 15 minutes explaining that joke word by word, it was excruciating. This has nothing to do with him having chud-light opinions, it's just my most vivid memory of his appearances on TMBS.
law school causes a brain disorder that is very hard to cure: liberalism
She gets to go sit in the corner with Peter Coffin and that Nazbol fucker
The Caleb Maupin fucker. The one who called Hakkim an imperialist for saying “war is awful I lived through it don’t blindly support any side in this war”
I knew he was buddy buddy with Dugan himself but I never knew he was such a complete fucking asshole
He is in tight with the Russian Nazbol party and gets payed by Russian oligarchs IIR.
Yeah he was a big speaker at one of their conferences a few years ago I think
What’s Peter’s deal? I haven’t been following them much lately but I thought they were okay
Handful of months back Coffin started inviting Maupin onto their channel to do some signal boosting.
They seem okay when it comes to established theory but Coffin does seem to have some dog shit takes on things new. Last thing I can remember was them being anti-"degrowth" but not actually engaging with any concepts/articles/etc and just assuming that the "degrowth" meant "going backwards."
Close with Nazbol. Wrote a book about cancel culture. Freaked out over the land back movement
drank a bit too much contrarian juice. people liked to yell at them for their good opinions, so when people started yelling at them for their bad opinions too, they decided they must be doing something right instead of just logging off.
What’s Peter’s deal?
mostly being super fucking mad at anyone who's been mean to them on twitter.
Haven't listened this since Brie started claiming she 'beat chomsky in a debate'. She didn't beat chomsky, nor did she 'explain' anything to Chomsky like she claimed. The man's been doing this almost longer than anyone on the left. I'm sorry brie, but you aren't explaining nothing to Chomsky.
There's one thing with disliking Chomskys electoralism and challenging him on it and there's another with deluding yourself into thinking you're some superior intelligence to him after the fact.
I had some fun following Twitter during Bernie 2020, and through that summer, but I haven't checked in since the protests (so a good 18 months) until these past couple weeks with the invasion. I was always on the left-edge of the "Bernie spectrum", but it was interesting to see where a lot of people in me feed have fallen since. Had to unfollow a lot of liberal dweebs, was almost funny.
this is part of why cryptosectarianism is so dumb here - everyone was doing pretty brazen cartwheels that the podmemers had dunked on the lib left grandpa back then, whereas people that liked chomsky were the only ones asking 'why is everyone interpreting this as a serious blow for anarchism'
Wish a lefty student that wrote for Jacobin could write an op-ed in the NY Times, but I guess that's why they call it an OP-ed
socdem to grifter pipeline jesus christ. Regret ever having any good feelings about her.
The chapo Bill Cosby picture (remember that shit?), but in central Kyiv wearing a Russian combat kit
Makes sense. Something like 65% of all votes cast for the presidential election in 2020 were actually Russian bots
my best guess is that when the polling wonk character's belief in electoralism died the polling wonk character died with it
You left out scenario 3: he shat out his doodoo ass so hard that his toilet exploded and took him with it.
the unverifiability of the allegations combined with the volume of internet weirdos who have no boundaries with left twitter ecelebs makes me lean towards the latter
No. It was a mildly antagonistic one that showed the girl is full of shit.
No, but it's clumsy as hell if you're trying to build a media career (especially with a left audience). Maybe I'm just not the audience, but I feel like a photo of you grabbing a handful of poop is less harmful to a media career than writing about "cancel culture", even negatively.
She also decided to make it weird with an article or podcast titled "Are Jewish People White?" or something like that. There's an interesting conversation that can be had somewhere in there, but approaching the topic with such a lack of tact is pretty fucking cringy if you ask me. Seemed to me that she was doing it to fuel Twitter libs going off about "The Left is AntiSemitic!" and all that crap. Just some sort of brainworm like that idk.

The clip is hilarious.
“Are you sure it’s not just trying to be rude?”
And the girl won’t say what she can’t say.
i admit i've listened to like 2 episodes of Good Faith (e: that wasn't a joke, i genuinely forgot the name of the podcast), but i don't know where the expectation on this site comes from that Brie's, like, an idiot or a bad communicator or a cryptoreactionary or whatever, based solely on the fact that she's talking to people who suck. i know most left podcasts are recorded with audible bong bubbling noises, but there are ways to conduct interviews that aren't just passively nodding along.
I agree that she's not at all incompetent or actually really bad faith. Sometimes her interview style is actually pretty conducive to a good conversation, too.
I have criticisms, but to avoid getting into that before I make my point: my previous comment probably came off wrong. I more properly meant that that sample was better than what I expected from this interview, and that it was because of Bri pushing for a specific example. Now I wish she repeated that, but yeah.
I've listened to a lot of Bad Faith, but I mostly stopped caring after the Norman Finkelstein interview where she kept pressing him on how him not liking Obama wasn't a winning strategy for voters and he kept trying to say that he didn't give a shit, Obama sucked, and also that's not the point.
Because a lot of people on here think “interview = platforming (bad)” When it’s a podcast from people who were not household names interviewing someone who was given an op-Ed spot in the biggest newspaper in America.
Platforming Would be a Joe Rogan style interview.
I am honestly getting annoyed with the number of posts on this site that actually would fit the mold of “reactionary left”. Like basically most of the comments on this post are attacking Bad Faith for trying to dig in on the new libertarian grifter.
Yeah I guarantee this is “I wanted to be an asshole to people but no one wanted to be my friend because of it. This is the lefts fault”
Edit ok no looked it up she’s an intern at FIRE, an org that was founded by a libertarianism weirdo who argued it was unconstitutional to expel a student from Pen who secretly and without permissions filmed 2 other students having sex to use as blackmail.
Fuck her. Fuck that org. Fuck it all
That girls whole existence is some kind of weird culture War Operation and she sucks at it. What a pathetic existence. When pressed about self censorship she goes quiet, like she can’t even pretend that she has more substance than wanting to use slurs.
Because she probably didn’t even write that article or even beleives in that crap.
who is the interviewee, or do i even want to know and should stay blissfully ignorant
It's the person in that picture that wrote the NYT OP-ED. She's also written for reason magazine, some libertarian rag.
thats all i need to know to know shes a loser, thanks :thumb-cop:
