what's a ChapoChat and is it as awful as it sounds like from the name?

I'd love to know the demographics of their listeners and that community. I legit have listened to about 2 minutes of one episode and it was readily apparent to me that is was too white for me to listen to. As their immunity has grown, I've yet to meet a PoC in-person who listens. Granted, I live in a super white state...but still.

The community and actual listeners of the podcast are two seperate things. The community grew beyond listeners just because of the broader appeal of Lefty shitposting. Although, I think the chapo chat community is a subsection of that group that couldn't just let it die. That happens to include a lot of tankies who want a place to normalize their nonsense.

But otherwise I agree. The the podcast often conflates intersectionality with liberal idpol and thus legitimates some aspects of right wing populism. So yeah... it's white as hell.

Woooow, so just because somebody unironically calls themselves a tankie they can't have any power over anarchist users on an anarchist forum?

How needlessly sectarian; this is exactly why communism hasn't won yet.
