And I use "normal" in scare quotes, because, according to whom, exactly, capitalism? Society? Yourself? Some of the "weirdest" people I've met in my life where also some of the nicest and actually helped me out. People you'd peg as "normal"? Well I've had my fair share of shit with them. I'm not about to put up with some reddit lord trying to score points with cool kid podcasters by throwing people who feed the homeless under the bus, fuck you very much.

A lot of them are just tailings

I realise this is either a typo or, more likely, autocorrect, but I was a designer working with mining engineers for many years and calling bad people "tailings" made me laugh.

Also consider that tailings are sometimes called "slimes". I propose that this would also be an appropriate term for shitty podcast hosts, as in: "the Chapo trap house slimes have been becoming increasingly reactionary over the past few years and honestly I consider them to be liberals now".

Yeah, it got autocorrected from "tailist", but that is indeed funny.

I don't agree with your assessment of Chapo overall, at least Will I think is still a commie even if he's not really a good one, but Felix is certainly a slime.

I don't listen any more and haven't in many, many years, but before I stopped Will actually always felt like the biggest reactionary to me:) doesn't really matter of course!

That's fair, I don't really have a clear idea of their trajectories, and maybe he was truly horrible at the time or maybe my memory is overly selective and he still is. You're right that it doesn't matter, just giving my thoughts.
