    Do the cumtown guys still say the f-slur or have they grown up since I last listened to them?

      They are now “The Adam Friedland Show”, much more professional and entertaining to the average audience

    I’ve never liked any of these “dirtbag left” guys. It seems like a very desperate (and frankly pathetic) attempt to try to get the South Park crowd into communism.

    That kind of thing will lead to all kinds of class reductionist brocialism.

      Tbh they aren’t political. They call themselves left as a joke. They only say it bc they are objectively to the left of the Democratic Party insofar as they like the very basic Socialist stuff like healthcare and less police brutality and less wars of endless expansion and corruption. For a long time they used to refer to Nick Mullen the main host as the head of the DSA. It was obviously a joke and they usually just use whatever topic they talk about as a joke. Chapo is way better at Dirtbag left and they have actually credible guests on

        Isn’t Chapo even worse with the brocialism? I heard the hosts once harassed a woman on Twitter with rape threats or rape jokes.

          I didn’t know about that, I’ve only listened for a few years and some of their old hosts had already left the show by then, maybe that’s why they left. They’re definitely more respectable than a lot of other podcasters I know of, Felix was on Deprogram and they had Richard Wolff and plenty of labor union reps on, so I hope that any childish and irresponsible shit like that is far in the past for them

      Same. These ppl could easily be reactionaries if the humor leaned that way. Their overly edgy ‘irony-poisoned’ humor usually results in people actually agreeing with the reactionary humor that’s supposed to be the target of their memes.

      Being uncivil and edgy is the literal opposite of what communists propose. We explain things simply, clearly, and respectfully even to those on the opposite side of the spectrum, to win converts. A good communist is Fidel or Malcolm X or Huey P Newton, not chapo brocialists.
