The weird Generative A.I. "I'm going to post myself is a the super-CHAD video game looking hero" has real "14 boy posting their fanfic of themselves on Tumblr" energy.

Also very Glad the Dollop has overtly been more pro-Left over the course of the years. I'm more than certain it has led many a lib to see the light of basic leftist thought. I think a lot of 2016-style "I listen to podcasts at my bullshit job" style liberals to more leftie thinking. I'm not talking the libs that run the racism factory, more so the people who go on autopilot and try to disassociate while they work there because they don't have much upward opportunity style libs.

I started registering to the dollop from the beginning and it's hilarious in like episode 6 when he's like "we aren't going to do much about politics"

Smash cut to their multi episode 400th special on Reagan.

Turns out it's impossible to do a history podcast without involving politics lol. Also impossible to do one without radicalizing yourself.

Same thing happened with Mike Duncan and his Revolutions podcast now that I think of it. (I know I heard he's still affected by lib brain worms, he pretty clearly ended the podcast way lefter than when he started it.)

Seems like the best way to convert libs is undercover
