Episode 148: Grubstakers - Tough Crowd
🕑 Added 2020-03-12 04:00:01 +0000 UTCThis week we hound Sean for being a naz/bol on twitter. Leading to a discussion on the current political moment. Insights, opinions and tweets do not reflect on Grubstakers LLC. It was a Hyperbolic Time Chamber where time didn’t exist, but we learned a lot and grow along the way. Warning for listeners who choose to enjoy this ambrosia in your car. A few times during this episode there are sirens in the background. Sorry for making you panic if you didn’t read this before you freaked out.
Shout to discord user DRL 162 who listens openly and without shame. Hope lunch was delicious!

sean is the only reason i’m a patron of this show. he’s an important role model and thinker for the current left, respect for representing your ideas in a sphere that is not welcome to free thinking anymore.
youre a weirdo

it just feels like twitter isn't the medium for sean. how the fuck are people supposed to know which half of the tweet is a joke and which one is serious? also, the "X is a CIA op" thing makes you sound way more like an insular edgy kid than anyone talking about how america is a blood soaked empire, if you want to talk about political messaging. it's weird seeing tweets like that and then coming to the podcast and getting the measured, intelligent version of sean, and it really makes me think he should just stop posting or something. idk
great episode! sean should post more questionable tweets for discussion

I can empathize with what Sean is saying here. It reminds me of when Vietnam soldiers would return to America and people would spit on them, and just treat them terribly, when they didn’t have a choice to go in the first place. This reactionary bullshit against ordinary troops instead of the politicians that vote for the wars and the military funding, is the kind of dissonance that is just psychotic.

Now this is interesting, because I feel like trying to capitulate to right wing narratives is why liberals eat shit over and over again. So maybe bernie needs to market himself "better" but I dont think that more nationalistic messaging is necessarily a good idea. My first reaction is just thinking of john kerry and the "we REALLY support the troops" shit
did you guys do an episode yet on the deutsche bank? I got a book about them from some nytimes reporter, but haven’t read it yet.
