I’ve seen enough from the chapos to make me think all of them aside from amber are not class reductionists (aside from the self hating weirdo shit amber says) and none of them are racists (especially Matt). Why do they want to be associated with assholes like Sean McCarthy? I’ve been a leftist and an anti fascist for like ten years now, the left is supposed to beat the shit out of these dorks, not quasi cater to them like this Sean dude and Others on that side of Twitter.

Sucks to see Will and the others associate with that piece of shit.

Just because they hate neoliberals doesn’t mean fascist neckbeards are our friends. They’d gladly me have my Jewish ass gassed in heart beat

    No, I actually agree. I don’t think she’s a full on class reductionist, but she pushes it.

    I don’t understand why anyone of them would want to talk to some piece of shit like Sean P McCarthy though. He’s the literal boogeyman of liberals who say socialists only mean ‘white working class’ this dude Sean really does mean mostly that. He’s a piece of shit

      The last pod of theirs I listened to was the one where some liberal in San Francisco wrote something I forget was about, I think about education. Amber said the exact phrase "Class is all that matters!" I turned off the podcast right after that and haven't listened since.

      Matt said in a cushvlog that class reductionism isn't real. That was disappointing but I think it sums up the other non-Amber Chapos. They may not be class reductionists but they are pretty ambivalent about things that don't relate to class.

        It’s disappointing to me, but things change. I like the chapo dudes enough, but not really into listening to a bunch of wealthy white social democrats talk about how annoying liberals are for 50 minutes. That’s a tired dog and pony show. I’m more concerned about the rising right-wing in this country than dopey useless democrats at this point.

        He's generally shit, but if you are looking for something specific he pretended to be trans to make a joke about how he thinks AOC should be killed and be able to defuse arguments that he's being sexist.

        It’s not exactly one singular thing he’s done. It’s the things he’s said and ideals he’s pushed on his relatively large ‘leftist’ platform over the years that make him a slimeball. Genuinely saddens me good people like The chapo boys give that moron the time of day

          Not trying to put you on the spot but like... one example would be helpful. Many accusations of racism are bullcrap. I only said that about Amber 'cause I can point to specific instances where she's done borderline racist stuff - or at least stuff that isn't fitting for a leftist.

            Lol. I can come back later and do it. Or someone else can step in for me. I wouldn’t just randomly accuse someone of this shit for no reason, that’s gossip and beyond stupid.

            I’m logging off for a bit. I just did my dose and my eyes are heavy. I’m hitting the hay for a bit. Not feeling to peruse Sean’s Twitter right now.
