The Capitol Invasion, Conspiracies, & Partisan Gurus
Added 2021-01-08 01:28:47 +0000 UTCMatt and I try to save ourselves from doom scrolling Twitter and discuss the Capitol Invasion and its relation to some of the partisan Guru & conspiracy dynamics we regularly cover. Sorry about the annoying conference flipping video style. Amateur that I am, I forget to change the recording settings. Anyway, be forewarned this is part potentially interesting content but part mental therapy!

Yeah that's incredibly telling.

2021-10-12 10:25:13 +0000 UTCI started a twitter doom scrolling habit 2020 Nov 3 and it persisted until 2021 Jan 20th. After that I was free to ignore politics again (phew). I still obsess over that time months later. Having only recently discovered Dinging the G, I had to hear your guru round-ups on the topic. TANGENT: I'm sure you know that Scott Adams was a guest on the Sam Harris podcast. Sam had asked the Trumpkin members of his audience "who is the smartest, most articulate Trump supporter who might have a chance at explaining why I'm wrong in thinking Trump is a monster" (paraphrased) and the best Trumpkins could come up with was that vile worm Scott Adams.

2021-10-07 07:30:13 +0000 UTCI only just finished watching this video and LOLed at the 44 minute mark – Eric's solution to everything is for the media to talk the the 20 IDW folk on his rolodex. The sad thing is that I think he really believes that.

2021-01-10 22:54:35 +0000 UTCI (Chris) actually listened to the Conspirituality podcast that covered this same topic and it was really interesting. It is out of our usual sphere but that isn't a bad thing. I think getting into the weeds with the Q phenomenon is something we should do at some point!

2021-01-09 23:10:46 +0000 UTCI imagined that you looked like a couple of nerdy B list 80’s actors who are now in their mid 50’s 😁

2021-01-09 09:16:58 +0000 UTCHeard this a lot so I’m very curious what people were imagining we look like. And thanks for listening (and the compliment!)

2021-01-09 09:07:16 +0000 UTCYou guys do not look at all like I imagined 😂 better 😉 Do you want to go on a date Chris? Just kidding. But not really... also, I love your podcast. Been listening for a while on the podcast app. Thanks for being awesome 🙌

2021-01-09 07:00:48 +0000 UTCThanks, guys - good ranting. And relevant - while reading this piece on 'the guy with the horns' today, I found myself wondering who he's the mark of: https://gen.medium.com/the-q-shaman-conspirituality-goes-rioting-on-capitol-hill-24bac5fc50e6 To be fair, probably someone more extreme than you've covered! (I also ended up down a Google rabbit hole on 'conspirituality', which naturally is a whole thing).

2021-01-08 10:30:21 +0000 UTCYou are wise!

2021-01-08 03:46:28 +0000 UTCThanks for chatting. After months of avoiding news, I’ve actually been disappointed with the relative dearth of substantive content over the last day and a half. Maybe I have to pay for Apple News+. Anyway it was good to hear what the IDW sphere has been up to. I abandoned Twitter months ago and have no plans of returning.
