    My favorite was them doing an episode about how it’s childish to say All Cops Are Bastards in the middle of global unrest over police murdering black people, but when cops killed a fascist during 1/6 suddenly they’re on board the mantra

    I literally stopped listening to them for about 4 months. That's how upset I was. And nothing of value was lost.

      They literally went to the protests, or at least Matt did. The point that communities with disproportionate police presence still want to have a police force is accurate, but doesn't play well online.

        It's also a completely banal point that they raise for no other reason than it "doesn't play well online"

          No other reason to give voice to what those communities want, nope, must be the online stuff

              All the more reason that they should be cognizant of what those communities actually want.

                Ah yes the monolithic hivemind of "communities of color" . Who in those communities? The preachers and "organizers" who without fail direct angry people towards voting for two faced shitlib politicians and holding hands with pigs. It seems like "listen to x group" always means listen to the most conservative voice in that group to justify not having to do anything.

        Will got trapped on the Brooklyn bridge, and I'm pretty sure they helped bail people out. Of course, that episode sucked ass.
