    I'd say they avoid this label by staying focused on media criticism rather than weighing in on every issue. They're not revolutionaries by any stretch, sure, but their positions feel pretty cleanly left of lib. Sometimes they get a libbed up guest and it leads to a disappointing ep, but those aren't that common imo.

    If you want a real answer, it's either TrueAnon or Hasanabi. There are multiple Hexbear users who frequently repost images and memes from /r/trueanon. There are many Hexbear users who frequently watch Hasan, even the ones who claim to hate him.

    Both TrueAnon and Hasanabi are spinoff shows of the Chapo Cinematic Universe. Brace appeared on Chapo under the alias "PissPigGranddad" before TrueAnon ever existed. Hasan made a guest appearance on Chapo for the first time in 2019. Shortly before Hasan's appearance on Chapo, he was a streamer for Facebook. It was Felix Biederman of Chapo who recommended Hasan to stream on twitch and Felix frequently streamed Fortnite with Hasan in 2019.

    tbh I still listen to most new episodes of chapo. I treat it as a news digest for mixed active/passive listening the way my folks listen to news on the radio.

    I sorta migrated to Trillbilly Worker's Party for that, they're a lot more enjoyable to listen to.

    Thats interesting to just drop. Without divulging, is there a reason I should not listen or is this just personal? You can at least give that, or someone here is gonna assume allegations, which you might not be making

    my assumption would be that they say slurs sometimes

    If one or more of them was a confirmed sex pest that I had a reliable account of from a friend I would definitely just say that (hi jeff goldblum, also fuck you) , this is definitely more of the banal cringe interpersonal variety. nothing cancel-worthy that I know of.

    I miss street fight radio. I don't really understand why Bryan and Brett split. I am under the impression that Brett wanted to do real world activism stuff and Bryan was more focused on making entertainment. Bryan made 'Guys' podcast. Then Brett made some paranormal-focused podcast. I can't find it now. It looks like Brett deleted his twitter account.

    I thought it was when Brett has his mental breakdown and started accusing Bryan of funny business. I don't remember what it was in particular but that seemed to be the end of things. I miss the overall podcast but the listener call in shows started to get REALLY stale when the same few people kept calling in.

    I probably listen to trueanon the most, Chapo depending on the episode, I used to listen to wtyp but got tired of them (mostly Liam), radiowarnerd but I don't think that rates as Hexbear Offical™

    we've all done things. 10 years ago i watched Joe Rogan for a bit(probably the first podcast i ever really watched/listened to), but mostly for the comedians and guests i wanted to see. Then i realized the dude talks about like 5 things and moved on. Plus i find it difficult to listen to any libertarian.

    I've kind of stopped, I haven't watched Hasan since March pretty much, don't miss anything of him whatsoever, I've only ever listened to maybe like 20 episodes of TrueAnon and I'm feeling like the Deprogram might be slipping a bit, which is sad because I've listened to every publically available episode. I like the idea behind the Reaction pod Yugo has been doing with Fredda and Mike, but I don't fuck with Mike so I'm not gonna listen lmao. BadHasbara is fun though.

    I guess I missed the golden era of a leftist (by American standarts) guy with an expensive mic giving you the rundown on reality, I have no idea what all these niche references people drop here mean, might be for the best shrug-outta-hecks
