We take a look at Stars And Strife, a new Starz documentary by David Smick (“macroeconomic advisor to a select group of prominent global investment funds”). It’s a documentary cautioning against the dangers of populist extremism, featuring the sober, reasonable analysis of James Baker, Leon Panetta, Rahm Emanuel, Alan Greenspan and Larry Summers, among others, and is honestly just as wild and deranged as You Me Madness. This completes a kind of inadvertent trilogy of films exploring inside the dream world from the POV of the middle class (Can’t Get You Out of My Head), the wealthy cultural elites (You Me Madness) and now, economic-political elite (Stars and Strife)
Reminder the hosts of this podcast use slurs and share TERF beliefs in private. I’m sure others have shared many stories but my friend used to hang with Will and he is not a comrade. These are chuds making much more money than most finance bros pretending to be allies
Soulja edit: see my other comment I haven’t witnessed this firsthand just what a trusted friend told me. My apologies I haven’t been sleeping lately so I’m grumpy lol bless all.

We really need to crack down on baseless accusations. No :freeze-peach: for making stuff up or slinging shit on the flimsiest of evidence.
I know the criticisms most people have with Aimee Terese and largely agree with them, but if you listen to her recent streams/podcast where they go into the history of online left and how the Chapos, Bruenigs, Redscare, etc all came to be in the same circle along with how this specific type of politics gestated it becomes hilarious anyone thinks there is a big political valley between redscare and chapo. Doubly so because despite Aimee's racism, anti-feminism, and huge gaps in knowledge when it comes to socialism, she was fully part of the same club for so long.
The only real difference now is when cushbomb or whoever wants affirm something from the anti woke part of the circle they make sure to use protected accounts and all agree to pretend Amber isn't on twitter.
Amber.
which episode did she talk about this? also isn't Aimee friends with Anna from Red Scare?
True tbh I have no proof I’ve never met them. My friend used to hang with Will and Felix and other Chapo-adjacent people and all he told me was Will would make fun of the sub and call their fans g*y and other things... He could have been making that up for all I know. He did say Felix is a sweetheart but again this is all hearsay. I avoid the pod anyway to be safe, I’m just glad it’s brought leftists together but I’ll delete my comment if it was over the line. Truly wasn’t trying to stir up shit I thought people had turned on the hosts now that they’re millionaires.

“I avoid the pod anyway to be safe”
What are you worried is going to happen? Do you also turn off movies halfway through if you start to notice problematic undertones?
We are literally on a website that removed downvotes because it upset people lol chill I just don’t want to give money to them. They’ll be fine
-Soulja
I also used to hang out with them and you are incorrect sir
Glad to hear. Sounds like my friend was putting words in Will’s mouth

but we are gay
I saw Will Menaker at a bodega in New York yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
The name has been changed for a few hours and we get these fucking weirdos coming out of the woodwork.
I’m curious, what are you referring to?
oh dope
Guys my dad totally works for Nintendo
