Anna Khachiyan almost died of Covid becuase she's apparently anti-vax now and the Red Scare subreddit is roasting the shit out of her (www.reddit.com)

The top comments are all calling her a dumbass, especially since Dasha got vaxxed and her Covid was mild. Also some of these comments are really vicious and personal, not that Anna K dosen't fully deserve it since she is the one who cultivated this following and with all the shit she's talked in the past.

Like the old Chapo sub had a contentious relationship with the hosts but we were way more civil than this.

This is a really good explanation. The dirtbag leftism that Chapo Trap House and its followers helped propel from 2016 onwards is very different from the stupidpol movement that branched off from it, as you say. The chapo boys (and girl) make fun of civility politics as a small but important part of a greater project to reduce the legitimacy of the ghouls in power and get the left in power electorally, whether we think this will work or not. The stupidpol movement sees the destruction of civility politics as the whole point of leftism with no real project beyond that (beyond occasionally saying idiotic shit like "iF wE dIdN't HaVe GeNdEr PoLiTiCs We MiGhT haVe HeAlThCaRe RiGhT nOw").

Eh CTH itself has flirted with blaming the problems of the left on those pesky Ess Jay Dubyas and their intersectionality. They're closer to their fellow brooklyn do-nothing political infotainers than they are to what was the subreddit.

Which is why they hated the sub, and why we'd always joke that :citations-needed: was the sub's official podcast.

When I see r/stupidpol or r/redscarepod or r/cumtown use Marxist language I feel like I'm having a stroke. They have zero understanding of the ethics behind the words or their history or the bigger picture they represent. Cryptofascists who never learned what happens to Strasserites when they feed the dragon that hates them.
