I lift a lot of stuff from it because they have their finger on the pulse of slop. But like I’ve seen a lot of casual antisemitism coming from them whenever anything jewish adjacent pops up. Ableism too, like real bad, slurs and all. Yes I know reddit and all that, but it feels like hexbear is the only place on the net not infected by shit.
I done never actually sit down and listened to t_a outside of knowing who Brace is and his shenanigans on twitter. So is she an antisemite or something?
No it’s just a running joke Brace makes that she’s a rabid anti-semite, him and Yung Chomsky are both Jewish.
Ah, I think I remember reading about Brace being jewish, weird how some of their fans are kind of bastards.
I dunno how much to chalk up the slurs etc to being Redditors in a sub for the supreme shit poster, but for a real answer for the casual antisemitism I’ve seen from a few people I know in the past couple years. You have to gently explain that the Jewish population that’s against having a settler colonial ethno-state do not get any media coverage and it’s easy to see the amplified voices of the Zios being indicative of the opinions of the whole.
The Fairness Doctrine should mean that I get equal airplay time to talk about Jewish Voice for Nuking Tel Aviv.
good idea but i think they repealed that about 40 years ago
This is why.
A good chunk of the sub doesn’t even know there is a podcast
Unlike us who know our podcast so well that we all have a Gorkamorka-style shrine to Nima and Adam
POP ON DOWN TO THE WHITE HOUSE, MR CHAPO
Nima provides informative citations while Adam provides well-cited information
You spelled Nick wrong
She is Polish though, so genetically anti-Semitic
Its a great podcast sometimes. They do get into some stuff others dont but also sometimes entertain cranks. I’m a fan of the podcast, knew about Brace from his MRR articles before the podcast and I saw Warkrime (his old punk band) once. We’re the same age and have a lot of similarities in our youth experiences regarding being drug addict punk rockers. The 5 Part series about Synanon and the Troubled Child Industry called The Game is like…next level. Brace got taken from his home in the night at age 14 to the middle of nowhere to a camp made to correct troubled teens and its a deep investigation into how those came to be that even involves them going to the house of the guy running it at the time to confront him. It is amazing journalism and an absolutely harrowing personal story combined with a highly weird history to what led to these child concentration camps where weird experimental psychology based on abuse was and is still done to kids. It is fucking harrowing but it’s something I think everyone should listen to and easily my favorite podcast thing ever. Blowback is second to The Game. Cw just in general. This is not an easy listen
