on the topic of "woke" (and this is coming from the perspective of a European just fyi): excuse the tinfoil for a second but for quite some time now I entertain the theory that identity politics has been (in parts) engineered and pushed by elites to serve as a diversion from the actual problem - the absolutely unreal and constantly increasing disparity between rich and poor. What's the best way to divide the common folk? Question and morally charge some of the most fundamental aspects of identity - gender, race, sexual orientation, age etc. Carve more and more dividing lines into society and let people fight amongst themselves, so that they never even get to the idea of uniting in a "class war" against the 1% that owns more than half the country. All in the name of "progress" and perceived moral superiority. I considered myself politically left, when the left was still primarily about taxing the (super)rich and holding mega corporations accountable for their actions. Now the left has become a messy accumulation of gender ideology, racism, misandry and more importantly: the biggest friend of multibillion dollar corporations. Obviously things are a bit more complicated than just attributing "woke" to a fantastical deepstate psyop. But still, it's hard not to get conspiratorial when for over a decade you've felt like the legacy media and open dialogue has been homogenized to the point where every diverging opinion might lead to personal and/or financial loss.
Bring back 4 hosts per show. I would rather the show go back to being bi-weekly if it meant the show wouldn't suffer the quality drop. I miss the chaotic energy so much.
It needs 4, more diversity of thoughts, creates more conversations and more importantly you have more chances of getting at least one host you really care about. Yeah yeah I should love all hosts equally, but I don't.
1:16:48 How can people move on and be "all in this together" when they keep saying he's the equivalent of Hitler... Either they ACTUALLY believe he's Hitler or they were lying the whole time
I don’t even see it as lying just fear one takeaway I got from the jaffe conversation is he had no idea what he was saying it was all what if stories or outcomes. It’s like when a teacher says don’t get smart with me! And you didn’t even say anything somewhere along the line the democrats said if you don’t agree your blank they haven’t strayed from that message since
@@smgofdvldthat is partially the point of the conversation that episode though, its talking the result and what to expect in the future by making guesses since its a podcast, then there is some factual stuff sprinkled for other topics etc. I've never seen so many people acting butthurt on that episode last week, the comments made it seem like it was a screaming contest but it wasn't even that bad.
The all together part is hoping that they are wrong about the Hitler comparison and everything turns out for the best because at this point what can you do? He already won.
@christianescobar3209 So you're saying they're not sure he's equivalent to Hitler, but they kept calling him that for years. If you TRULY believed someone is about to genocide a whole race of people like Hitler did, would you just stand by and hope for the best? They already tried to assassinate him twice because of this rhetoric.
@@christianescobar3209yeah I mean isn't that always how it goes after the fact, in any situation if the result isnt what you want to try and hope that its not what you think. I doubt holding it into the conversation for 4 years will help anything.
1:02:20 I love you Gene but I’ll have to disagree with you on there buddy. Kamala has stated before that, “Everything needs to become more woke.” So she has in fact talked about woke politics before. There’s video footage of it.
kamala harris was big on DEI. her website says "who do we serve" & lists every special interest group except straight white men (who ironically all voted for Trump... i wonder why.) she was the #1 person pushing identity politics.
Actually most of the footage is from the previous democratic primaries when her views were much more liberal. She inarguably leaned on her republican backers and center talking points to try and make up for those statements, but people either did not believe her or found her proposed policies insufficient for them. Not saying you are, but anyone attributing "woke" views as the main reason for Dem losses is a gross oversimplification.
@@Gizzgy Kamala has no beliefs she's just a sounding board for the Democratic party in the moment, they needed right leaning votes so she leaned right, when it seemed like they didn't she was a hardcore lefty. Both sides see she stands for nothing hence the low turnout.
@@Gizzgy oversimplification or not, she lost. a large part of it was the left's obsession with identity politics & the policies behind them. even if she didn't focus on that, the damage done to the party's reputation because of "woke" was enough to cause a red wave anyway. she would've lost either way.
@@Gizzgy you just said it, she tried to make up for saying those things, and the people didn't believe her. If it is the most common answer as to why people voted for Trump, you can't downplay that, he won, big time. Most people are sick of this "woke" stuff because they either see how crazy it has gotten (there are extreme left and right people, I'm not downplaying that) or they have seen it in their own lives. They clearly do not agree with it. They voted on it. I used to be pretty left leaning myself, and never thought this was that big of a deal, until it hit me in the face getting on a bus a little over a year ago. A young lady was standing in the middle of the bus and I couldn't get by to sit down, so I politely said "excuse me miss" as I motioned I needed to get by her. She literally swung her purse at my face and screamed at me for calling her miss. Made a huge scene to the point the driver stopped the bus, and led to me just leaving and missing my appointment to avoid any further confrontation with this person. She went from 0 to 100 in a heart beat. Directly to attempted violence and screaming like a toddler. Any stranger would have had the first impression that this young lady was indeed a lady. How can we live in a shared reality like this? We all have to talk to strangers in gender neutral terms? That's insane! I know my experience is anecdotal, but you can see hundreds of new videos of this happening everyday all across North America. Almost all schools/universities/colleges deal with this everyday. This is literally insane, and there comes a point where even the most polite, accepting people on the planet break. This issue is one of the most common answers you get as to why people voted the way they did, you can't downplay that with the kind of victory Trump had. He's a cartoon character, and won decisively...that means something man. Trump took a firm stance against it, Harris did not. Sorry for the rant
Sorry Gene, but the Right-wing is certainly not as united as you seem to think. Also, I think it would be fair to say that just like there are some people on the Left who voted for Kamala more as a vote against Trump there is also a contingency of the Right that voted for Trump more as a vote against Kamala
It sucks that its always voting for the least worst option instead of the best. When was the last time that America was like "Damn, all these candidates are great, hard to make up my mind who to vote for"
@@christianescobar3209yeah its that for sure and I think the much lower votes in general kind if aids that idea as well, its also how the 2 sides are following these candidates religiously as if everything they say is to be followed like law, it just causes such an unnecessary divide its really sad. We also just have other countries participating with social media, paying tons of money for all kinds of tactics online for division and its not even questioned whether what they saw was fake or propaganda and just believe whatever is seen. I don't know man it's so crazy.
@James-u1y And its gonna get a lot worse, social media and news are crazy full of lies, bots and AI BS. At least before you coukd try to inform yourself, its getting harder and harder.
Dagan, awesome to hear that you're also a long-time fan of happy console gamer. I've been subscribed to him forever. And yeah he's one of the OGs. My dad's side of the family is from Canada, some of them live in the same city as Johnny.
Honestly getting pretty sick and tired of this channel constantly putting down people who voted from Trump. Especially Gene, Chris, and Jaffe. Gene saying AOC is his friend made me lose all respect for him. And of course Gene loved Dragon Age Veilguard. No surprises there. More than half of the US voted for Trump so maybe they're not the problem. Gene saying Kamala didn't lose because of woke agenda or identity politics? That is exactly why she lost. People are sick and tired of wokeness, and DEI garbage infecting all aspects of life. Idk why everyone needs to cater to less than 1% of the population. Dagan saying JD Vance called Kama a piece of trash like are we straight up making up shit now. Wtf is going on with this channel yo?
He is employed by the Washington Post and lives in one of the most liberal cities in the country so it is no surprised he feels that way. I mean the people from that city have infected Virginia to the point that it has made a normally red state now pretty much blue. Washington DC is a cancer city and pretty much a little bit of California in the east.
I definitely understand being tired of woke and DEI, I myself lean liberal and am exhausted, but I don't think its fair to act like one side is the issue. Both sides have horrible people, and both sides have an issue with hyper partisanship. You have a problem with Gene, Chris, and Jaffe for dismissing trump voters, but then immediately say you lost respect for Gene cause of AOC, which I think is a perfect example of how both sides just outright dismiss each other and its absolutely ridiculous how neither side recognizes that. Also, on JD, he did call Kamala trash. That is a fact, here is the clip. ruclips.net/video/mEA5RyM4AiQ/видео.htmlsi=xbNhDw6kcK2QP51-&t=15 I believe it may have been in response to Kamala or someone calling republicans trash, but that's not the issue and im not trying to argue that it was uncalled for or whatever. The fact is, he did call her trash, and it was a simple google search. Dagan did not make anything up, the least you could have done is look it up and have said something about the context, not outright deny it lol.
This is a serendipitous episode because I spent all weekend playing Fire Red on my Analog Pocket and Pokemon Sword on my Switch. It’s been a lot of fun and very nostalgic
Appreciate you Gene. I think Kamala not running on identity politics or even if she did it was very very minor, the thing about it is that outside of people who read things from direct sources the perception of the far left is reflected to the candidate regardless on if they ran on the topic or not, Colin mentioned perception a lot the last week and as social media is the way it is the perception gets distorted on the left and right and now we have that division that bleeds out and that extreme perception bleeds out and as such is painted onto the candidates.
They were talking about the general gaming community. Like Colin isn’t #2 on his own network he is 90% of the reason people donate to the patreon. Everything else on LSM is gravy for most people. If it was just LSM it would be: Jaffe, Gene, Ben, Locke, Hoegg, Chris, Matty, Cog, Brad, Dustin, Colin, Micah, Dagen
Idk i definitely like Gene even tho i agree with very little of what he says. He just isn’t as polarizing to me. Jaffe reminds me of Trump lol both are trying to be offensive.
Thanks for the breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How can I transfer them to Binance?
The Right did have a couple of big fallouts and bickering. Both involving Ben Shapiro (not necessarily blaming him or anything, just that he was the common thread) Daily Wire was friendly with Steven Crowder (that dude sucks) and had a huge falling out over a content deal. And then Candace Owens (also sucks) was working with Daily Wire and publicly had a huge falling out with them. I think over Israel? But I'm not sure.
The support for Crowder is weird to me honestly. The way he treated his former employees sounded awful and controlling. Look at Michael Malice's interview with Dave Landau from a few years ago (not the one from this month) for some insight. The video of Crowder talking to his wife about their dogs was indefensable, and no matter what the context surrounding that event, should warrant at least some reflection on his part. Instead, he doubled down and became a martyr. He also burned bridges with Ben Shapiro and his company when he exposed an offer they gave him that Crowder deemed was insulting. My point is, Crowder is awful and has a fragile ego. People are welcome to "change my mind" though.
@dawho123 exactly my sentiments. I used to be a Crowderhead. I think I liked the in your face energy when it felt like everything was getting so buttoned up and overly PC. It didn't take long for me to get tired of political stuff and his shtick though. It just felt so mean spirited. But yeah even if you like his content for whatever reason, his stuff with how he treated his wife and his former employees has made me actively dislike that dude so much. Just seems like such an asshole. Like the persona in his videos isn't so much of a persona.
@@sindri. You sound like me haha. I even had a mug club membership back in 2018. Then he just unraveled and the "tough guy" persona was not an act at all like you said. He is like the guy in high school that was a jerk and then would say "It's just a joke bro" lol. Crowder has that same 15 year old's mentality.
@@dawho123 yes exactly! That's a great way to put it. He also seemed like he could never decide if he wanted to be a "comedian" or a political commentator. Like he'd throw himself into political discussions and then get pushback and immediately hide behind being a comedian.
Guys I love you, but please bring back 4 person shows- even if that means bi-weekly. I really miss the energy. Maybe just limit topics to 30-45mins and the intro being 15-20mins.
Yea. His rant about Trump lying about Obamas place of birth and that being the reason why he hates Trump as if the dems haven't lied about Hunters laptop or Ashley's diary or Cheney and the "firing squad" or the dozens of other things that they consistently lie about but are never called on it, is wild to me. The democrats certainly lie significantly more about Trump and Republicans than vice versa. Mainly because it's drastically harder for Republicans to lie because MSM is always ready to call them out on it while they just ignore or facilitate the democrats lies.
What is Gene on about? There are videos of Kamala saying "We need to be more Woke" 😂😂 it wasnt just identity politics that crashed and burned her campaign buy it was one part
1:49:22 - I guessed Spider-Man, too, but Superman would have been my next guess...I think you guys have forgotten about 'Superman 2', where Superman gave up his powers to try out life as a regular human being (and to be with Lois) 😊
Please bring back 4 people! You always say consistency is key but you’ve changed this show so drastically. Colin used to be on every episode, now he’s not. The show used to have 4 people on every episode, now there’s 3. The episodes used to be longer, now their shorter. The quality is going down for this show. A lot of your loyal fans are not happy and it seems like you guys don’t care at all. Why even ask for our feedback?
@@ShaunMcCarthy-me3nrnot necessarily, when Colin is convinced of a change he goes through with it if he feels it's better for the product even if we may not always agree.
Thank God for Dagan coming back. Though I have to admit I am a Funko dude, I have to hard disagree with Astrobot Bots looking better. They are generic bots with accessaries haha. Hope to have these 3 back soon.
2:18:16 - WTF, how did I not know about this?? ruclips.net/video/163_C5UVU-I/видео.htmlsi=FftxJrA2hnpzRh5d - Moral of the story, never challenge Gene to a game of Trivial Pursuit, he's the King of useless info. (in a good way, we love you Gene!)!! 😂
@@VocorKaneYuuup! 4 people gives others a chance to sit back and listen while they gather some thoughts to add to the conversation. 3 people feels worse and more awkward. The conversations are much more interesting with 4 people.
I would agree Kamala avoided "I'm with her" but not for the reasons stated by Gene (love you Gene! For real, you're one of my favorite gaming personalities. This is not meant as a slight. Just my opinion). She avoided the identity politics of being a woman because the far left backed the Democratic party into a corner of literally not being able to define a woman. Supreme Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, stated she could not define a woman back in 2022. While this was a "gotcha" question, it really exposes why Kamala was unable to use references to being a female aspect in her 2024 campaign. If she had, then it would have opened her up to more scrutiny on both sides of the political aisle. Therefore, she did not use the whole "I'm with her" line.
The interesting thing about the election to me is that people really think the Trump administration cares about the working class. I’m left of center but overall I think modern politics is ridiculous and they are all clowns. However, I am waiting and pretty much wanting this Trump term to be horrible AF. I get not wanting to vote for Harris, but the fact that Trump is the alternative highlights some issues we have with system.
Yeah, the Fascist Democrats who went after their political opponents the first chance they could. After their Black Shirts rioted and looted through most of 2020. Who had the media and social media behind them spewing the "current" narrative of the day. Until Elon bought Twitter. Who for years disregarded the border, energy, allowed millions of people to enter the country illegally. We can see how well that worked out in Europe, and places like Chicago and New York. Trump was right about Germany. In their suicidal attempt for "Green" energy. They shut down their last nuclear power plant. No longer getting gas from Russia, they are burning coal again. The EU as a whole, for decades have expanded their social programs while neglecting their own defense. While constantly saying that one day, Russia may attack them. They welcomed millions of foreign people with no way of supporting them, and apparently no way to deport them. Which has caused no shortage of issues. It's no wonder that countries in EU have started to move right.
economy, DEI, all the illegals the left allowed to flood into the country taking all the jobs. the left light on crime. people in california just walk in stores & walk out with items causing them to close down. chicago (another blue state) overrun with crime. american hurrican victims dying & all the government funding going to illegal immigrants while american families get $700 in hurricane relief funds after their house just got swept away in a flood. where do i start smh
Why am I not surprised at all that Jaffe watches the view 😂😂
Definitely makes sense.
Hopefully hate watching or as a joke or to see what stupid things they say
@liljes34 absolutely not. He believes everything that say. The man believes people can change genders. He lacks critical thinking skills.
Because he only cares about the truth and whoopi Goldberg is the beacon of justice 🤣
@@salmark9080true Jaffe only cares about truth. If that means binging the View, that’s what ol Jaffecakes gonna do.

on the topic of "woke" (and this is coming from the perspective of a European just fyi):

A lot of people like to laugh at the idea but the culture war is 100% exacerbated by Russia to stoke tensions and cause destabilisation.
No dude you're right on the money. It's absolutely being pushed to distract us from the real issues, and it's working clearly.
Ur correct

Nah, that's cope. It's because of the civil right act of the 1960s. Left wingers are always trying to find the next high.

@@daganmoriarty1973 lol you're the best Dagan! Much love!
The Right did have a couple of big fallouts and bickering. Both involving Ben Shapiro (not necessarily blaming him or anything, just that he was the common thread)
Daily Wire was friendly with Steven Crowder (that dude sucks) and had a huge falling out over a content deal.
And then Candace Owens (also sucks) was working with Daily Wire and publicly had a huge falling out with them. I think over Israel? But I'm not sure.
The support for Crowder is weird to me honestly.
The way he treated his former employees sounded awful and controlling. Look at Michael Malice's interview with Dave Landau from a few years ago (not the one from this month) for some insight. The video of Crowder talking to his wife about their dogs was indefensable, and no matter what the context surrounding that event, should warrant at least some reflection on his part. Instead, he doubled down and became a martyr.
He also burned bridges with Ben Shapiro and his company when he exposed an offer they gave him that Crowder deemed was insulting.
My point is, Crowder is awful and has a fragile ego. People are welcome to "change my mind" though.
@dawho123 exactly my sentiments. I used to be a Crowderhead. I think I liked the in your face energy when it felt like everything was getting so buttoned up and overly PC. It didn't take long for me to get tired of political stuff and his shtick though. It just felt so mean spirited.
But yeah even if you like his content for whatever reason, his stuff with how he treated his wife and his former employees has made me actively dislike that dude so much. Just seems like such an asshole. Like the persona in his videos isn't so much of a persona.
@@sindri. You sound like me haha. I even had a mug club membership back in 2018. Then he just unraveled and the "tough guy" persona was not an act at all like you said. He is like the guy in high school that was a jerk and then would say "It's just a joke bro" lol. Crowder has that same 15 year old's mentality.
@@dawho123 yes exactly! That's a great way to put it. He also seemed like he could never decide if he wanted to be a "comedian" or a political commentator. Like he'd throw himself into political discussions and then get pushback and immediately hide behind being a comedian.
I thought the guy on the left was Kyle Bosman for a second. I thought Brad was getting the band back together 😅
Guys I love you, but please bring back 4 person shows- even if that means bi-weekly. I really miss the energy. Maybe just limit topics to 30-45mins and the intro being 15-20mins.
Gene got tds sad
Yea. His rant about Trump lying about Obamas place of birth and that being the reason why he hates Trump as if the dems haven't lied about Hunters laptop or Ashley's diary or Cheney and the "firing squad" or the dozens of other things that they consistently lie about but are never called on it, is wild to me. The democrats certainly lie significantly more about Trump and Republicans than vice versa. Mainly because it's drastically harder for Republicans to lie because MSM is always ready to call them out on it while they just ignore or facilitate the democrats lies.
And u guys have BDS 😘
@fbbfan9476 What?
@@davidramirez8767 oh I see yr slow. Biden Derangement Syndrome
@@fbbfan9476 google trends is your friend
I actually don’t mind 3 instead of 4 people, may I have a suggestion. Do at least 4 topics and the 4th topic should be a random Patreon topic
What is Gene on about? There are videos of Kamala saying "We need to be more Woke" 😂😂 it wasnt just identity politics that crashed and burned her campaign buy it was one part
1:37:38 S3 - Selection for Societal Sanity. A whole generation raised by the Patriots.
I thought OG was Original Gene.
1:49:22 - I guessed Spider-Man, too, but Superman would have been my next guess...I think you guys have forgotten about 'Superman 2', where Superman gave up his powers to try out life as a regular human being (and to be with Lois) 😊
PLEASE CLAP!! 🤣🤣🤣
You don't hate journalists enough. You think you do, but you don't.
Please bring back 4 people! You always say consistency is key but you’ve changed this show so drastically. Colin used to be on every episode, now he’s not. The show used to have 4 people on every episode, now there’s 3. The episodes used to be longer, now their shorter. The quality is going down for this show. A lot of your loyal fans are not happy and it seems like you guys don’t care at all. Why even ask for our feedback?
They will acquiesce at some stage, not sure when.
@@ShaunMcCarthy-me3nrnot necessarily, when Colin is convinced of a change he goes through with it if he feels it's better for the product even if we may not always agree.
I'm sure they will check the data on watch time on these shows, is it worth the money to pay for an extra guests
Boo hoo man the show is great
NO MORE DEX CUT IN ALL THE FUTURE POKEMON GAMES!
Im with Brad sayong Chris Evans. Fantastic Four, Capt. America, The Losers, Snowpiercer, Scott Pilgrim and also voiced Casey Jones in TMNT 2007.
Thank God for Dagan coming back. Though I have to admit I am a Funko dude, I have to hard disagree with Astrobot Bots looking better. They are generic bots with accessaries haha. Hope to have these 3 back soon.
2:18:16 - WTF, how did I not know about this?? ruclips.net/video/163_C5UVU-I/видео.htmlsi=FftxJrA2hnpzRh5d - Moral of the story, never challenge Gene to a game of Trivial Pursuit, he's the King of useless info. (in a good way, we love you Gene!)!! 😂
It’s Vivi!
As much as I miss the longer 4 person Constellations, I do feel it flows better with 3
I totally agree
Can’t say I’ve thought that. Feels like the same/higher number of lulls, and more obvious when one member is quiet for a while than when there’s four.
@@VocorKaneYuuup! 4 people gives others a chance to sit back and listen while they gather some thoughts to add to the conversation. 3 people feels worse and more awkward. The conversations are much more interesting with 4 people.
Gene rambles for so long it’s painful, I can skip minutes of it just to get to the next person having a chance to give some input
I think Josh Brolin has been in more superhero/comic book movies.
Sin City
Avengers
Jonah Hex
Deadpool 2
Men in Black 3
You know?
Gene and everyone watch Arcane. I implore you! It’s amazing!
Glad to hear that Facebook is still on top. Still the best social media app on the planet
I would agree Kamala avoided "I'm with her" but not for the reasons stated by Gene (love you Gene! For real, you're one of my favorite gaming personalities. This is not meant as a slight. Just my opinion). She avoided the identity politics of being a woman because the far left backed the Democratic party into a corner of literally not being able to define a woman. Supreme Court Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, stated she could not define a woman back in 2022. While this was a "gotcha" question, it really exposes why Kamala was unable to use references to being a female aspect in her 2024 campaign. If she had, then it would have opened her up to more scrutiny on both sides of the political aisle. Therefore, she did not use the whole "I'm with her" line.
Anyone else having rss feed issues?
These people need to do more research and stop saying dumb shit that they don't know nothing about.
The interesting thing about the election to me is that people really think the Trump administration cares about the working class. I’m left of center but overall I think modern politics is ridiculous and they are all clowns. However, I am waiting and pretty much wanting this Trump term to be horrible AF. I get not wanting to vote for Harris, but the fact that Trump is the alternative highlights some issues we have with system.
Most people
Just vote on vibes and they really don’t know how politics work
You are sad.
Cameltoe's presidency would have been the prelude of the End of USA
Gene spittin
This episode bumped up Gene from #4 to #2 for me🤣. Still love them all, just some more than others 🤷♂️
If Americans want a Fascist criminal as their leader more power to them, cause as we all know it worked out so well for Germany.
This kind of rhetoric is why Trump won.
To compare Trump to Hitler is to diminish the true evil of Hitler.
Yeah, the Fascist Democrats who went after their political opponents the first chance they could. After their Black Shirts rioted and looted through most of 2020. Who had the media and social media behind them spewing the "current" narrative of the day. Until Elon bought Twitter. Who for years disregarded the border, energy, allowed millions of people to enter the country illegally. We can see how well that worked out in Europe, and places like Chicago and New York.
Trump was right about Germany. In their suicidal attempt for "Green" energy. They shut down their last nuclear power plant. No longer getting gas from Russia, they are burning coal again. The EU as a whole, for decades have expanded their social programs while neglecting their own defense. While constantly saying that one day, Russia may attack them. They welcomed millions of foreign people with no way of supporting them, and apparently no way to deport them. Which has caused no shortage of issues. It's no wonder that countries in EU have started to move right.
lol keep saying that and republicans will wipe the floor with you again in 2028
What was so bad about last 4 years
🤣🤣🤣
We're literally in world war 3
... are you serious?
economy, DEI, all the illegals the left allowed to flood into the country taking all the jobs. the left light on crime. people in california just walk in stores & walk out with items causing them to close down. chicago (another blue state) overrun with crime. american hurrican victims dying & all the government funding going to illegal immigrants while american families get $700 in hurricane relief funds after their house just got swept away in a flood. where do i start smh
You obviously still live with your parents and don’t have any bills.
Gene is a man of the people.
of CA, maybe
Yea for the soy men
@@Freeformrulz yall so corny. I voted for Trump. I wasn’t even talking about the election.
