Boy, that shit sure ain't worth defending. I cannot believe the number of struggle sessions where people told me just to give it a shot and I didn't get the context or whatever. Jesus Christ.

    Hearing Nick talk makes me cringe because I know the exact kind of guy he is. He and I kind of ran in similar circles at the same time here in Baltimore though I don't recall ever meeting him. Tons of chauvinism with a veneer of progressivism and an inability to take anything seriously except your own image. It's what happens when a millennial chud grows up in a diverse environment.

      These are the guys I don't trust if the revolution comes, basically. It's what puts me off about brocialists and it makes me to my core fear we'll never have a viable left, because wreckers like this embed themselves so deeply and then all their useful idiot friends defend them to death.

            If you're looking to get offended, you will find it because that's the humor. The humor is insanely offensive shit. What you're missing is Mullen's actual political views, which he rarely talks about on the podcast so I don't blame you. When he talks politics, he's straight up uncompromising leftist. He's a surprisingly smart dude, when he's talking with right-wingers he sees right through their bullshit and casually dismantles their culture war fake outrage talking points to their face

              I'm not looking to get offended, so where's your argument?

              I know Nick Mullen. I know his politics. He's a doofus stupidpol socdem dipshit and a wrecker. There's not much more to say about it than that. His podcast on top of all of that is intensely unfunny and attracts chuds like 13-year-old loli porn.

                "They should absolutely be protesting, they should be rioting, they should go fucking kill that cop ... You should be looting Target". From a clip I just found looking for him talking sincerely about politics

                    I proved him wrong and educated him. He won't call Mullen a socdem again without being a willful liar.

                        Read again. It's fine to dislike his humor. I said don't make up bullshit to discredit his political views when you don't know his political views. And I was right, he was wrong.

                        You can try to save face for him all you want, it's not of interest to me.

          What you're doing here is literally the "it's just a joke bro" thing that right-wing shitstains do to try to excuse their bigotry.

          And that shit isn't even offensive, it's just low effort shock "humor" that requires no creativity or effort at all.

            Even if it is "just jokes" it desensitizes people to shit like that and it's basically pushing people in the opposite direction we want. Humor that punches down is always bad even in the RARE instance it's funny.

        There is a tendency for people to act as if class is in a vacuum divorced from other factors that is very undialectical. They're are material differences between people who grow up in different eras of capital conditions. The fact that boomers grew up in probably the most lopsided economic environment in history is going to change the way they think. I would say this is no less materialist than speaking on the differences between white Americans and black Americans; sure neither is a class monolith but they do have general shared characteristics.

        The material differences between generations absolutely informs their ideological rifts and it isn't fucking fascist to acknowledge that. Just because you acknowledge that people who grew up in a near uninterrupted period of transfer of wealth from the global south to the US are different than people who grew up in a period of stagnation and redistribution of wealth upwards doesn't mean that you believe the premise if the Strauss-Howe horseshit generational theory lmao.
