Episode 830 - Vat Grown Oaf feat. Trillbillies (5/6/24)
/ chapo-trap-house
Tom, Tarence and (welcome to the show!) Aaron from the Trillbillies join us for another week of horror and spectacle around the War in Gaza. We touch on the ceasefire agreement being rejected basically as we were recording, some of the clumsy NYPD PR response to last week’s Columbia raid, and the pundit class tantrum over being denied free access to interviews with protesting students. But we also have some levity, in John Fetterman’s freakout over vat meat, the Biden admin’s flaccid signaling over marijuana legalization, and Patrick Bet-David’s praise for future God-Emperor Barron.

The worst thing about journalists is just how entitled they are. Everything from last week's Civil War review to this Peggy Noonan story demonstrates just how much they feel like the world owes them reverence as some great scribe of history, and not a useful idiot for the powerful.

I'm not feeling bleak. These college protests are giving me a lot of hope because these guys are right: the problem isn't the protests. The problem is that if you question the basis of Israel it leads to questioning the basis of the American empire, and the elites can't have that.

God, just read that Zadie Smith article. Holy fuck what a way to write a lot to say nothing and show you have no fucking idea what the fuck has happened. She just waves things away as "complex histories" as if those histories have no content that you can, you know, examine.

[@the_exegete]

Yeah the "this is a very complicated 10000 year old conflict" response that comes up any time you want to discuss specifics. The rhetorical equivalent of flipping over the table and declaring that you win, no backsies. Personally I don't find Israel/Palestine to be any more complicated than any other spot's history. Therefore those who can't get it should just defer to my wisdom here.

What Israel is doing in the West Bank is identical to what Russia has been doing to Ukraine since 2014 - illegally annexing territory using massive state backed violence. Its baffling to me how anyone can be pro-Palestinian yet anti-Ukraine, or pro-Ukraine yet anti-Palestinian. They are both victims of illegal imperialist/colonialist ambitions.

[@Some_Average_Joe]

​@nickrails Russia wants to absorb Ukrainians into Russian society, not liquidate them

[@joshuamarx8209]

☣️ Hasbara Detected ☣️

[@Alias_Fakename]

The difference being that West is actively funding Ukraine, a country that was talked about as being one of the most corrupt in Europe, and regularly being reported as having a far right nationalist problem. Which stopped being talked about entirely when our decades long enemy attacked them. And you're welcome to point out the culturally reactionary nature of Hamas, but we couldn't go a day for the first six months of the Russia-Ukraine war without the media posting photos of proud Ukrainian soldiers wearing Nazi patches/tattoos/other bits of flair.

[@redactedmane]

Braddock, PA is more than just a "town that sucks". It's actually one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Pittsburgh. during Fetterman's mayoral tenure he: -Got all homicide victims names tattooed on himself -Taught the local Crips how to put forth a proposal to legally change the name from Braddock to "Braddocc" (it made it to be voted on, and narrowly lost) -Attended many gang funerals (where he actually got dressed up) -Lobbied for city infrastructure (salt in the winter, pothole fixing, repairing the broken streetlights , not just Pepsi machines) That's why he wears Carhartt to the fucking White House. Isn't it fun to see upper west side leftists' true disdain for the working man ... and the blue collars and blue bandanas of BRADDOCC, PA

[@PhalisoBringerOfDoom]

Try asking the ukkkraine government why they support the genocide of Palestine instead of standing in solidarity with them Maybe it has something to do with the ukkkraine government being ran by literal nazis

[@PMac13]

Because Ukraine has become a proxy for US military infrastructure/US geopolitical interests by virtue of being propped up by its arms shipments and finance, which is similar to the position of Israel. So the people cheering for blood in Ukraine are also going to be the people cheering for blood in Palestine even if it appears contradictory when taken at face value. They aren't interested in taking strong ideological stances, just following whatever holds together America's waning hegemonic position.

[@MegaEliteAwesome]

They are still being invaded by an imperialist force. It doesn't matter if Nazis are involved, Russia has Nazi soldiers too. We should not predicate our support for victims of imperialism based on how good they are as allies. Imperialism is unacceptable. If Ukraine becomes a Nazi state, (not just people claiming it, but doing it), then we'll deal with that later. You can't be on one side in one conflict and the opposite in another simply because they disagree with you on the conflict that isn't jn their country. But I'm sure you've thought of this and decided that it doesn't matter.​@@PhalisoBringerOfDoom

[@nickrails]

​​​@@PMac13 US support for Ukraine doesn't nullify the righteousness of Ukraine's cause. They are a democratic country that has been illegally invaded and has another nation state illegally annexing sovereign territory, while trying to erase their national identity and culture. If the US suddenly advocated strongly for Palestinian rights and nationhood, and provided massive military and diplomatic support, that wouldn't automatically invalidate the justness of the Palestinian cause. There are alot of Ukraine supporters who also support a free Palestine - although as one such person it is really disappointing to see the number of people in both camps doing insane mental gymnastics to not see the innate similarities in both cases. Israel is the occupier and aggressor - Russia is the occupier and aggressor. Palestinian deserve their identity and homeland, Ukrainians deserve their identity and homeland.
