stuff like “Well you call them the scum of the earth, why wouldnt they hate you”

Why are parts of the left like this? Seemingly caring more about courting the psychopath incel who wants a white ethnostate rather than stand in solidarity and antiracism with POC?

i always get disgusted and disillusioned when i come upon it

Cause deep down they understand them. White settlers identifying with other white settlers. Even though they might legitimately disagree with them, fundamentally they don’t see them as a threat to their existence and view the disagreement as purely academic. They understand and are sympathetic to how these people arrived at their views. And really they’re only one hardship away from becoming completely reactionary themselves, as we saw with Covid.

Idk, that’s always been my take.

good take, yep

i can see myself going down the incel path, if circumstances were different and i was AMAB, it coulda happened. therefore i have a certain level of empathy and understanding towards those ppl inherently (not that i give a shit about courting them or whatever, fuck that shit lmao). but with poc i need to actually listen to other people’s perspectives and stuff instead of just inherently getting it. that’s waaay too hard for most white ppl

I assume this one

the modern chapo pod is alright, I don’t listen to it often but they tend to have decent takes. This is nothing like the pod

I managed to watch this for 49 seconds before I tapped out. Why does this grown ass adult woman act like a petulant teenager

I gotta agree, about half way in and I haven’t heard anything actually objectionable.

It’s weird how she doesn’t apply the same logic to people who hate fascists. They call me the scum of the Earth! Why shouldn’t I hate them?

See also: that episode of the podcast where Amber said “cops are working class” for an hour and a half, aka the one that got me to stop listening.

Amber actually was one of the reasons I stopped listening too, after she went off on people who cut ties with abusive parents “We all hate our parents as teens. Grow up. Get over it.”

lol what

The more I grow, the more I realized how fucked up it was the way my mother treated me, the less I feel like speaking to her.

Amber was one of the reasons I never started listening to Chapo.
