I meant more the beliefs of the fan forum (hexbear) vs. the beliefs of the original Chapos. Tbf, I don’t know a whole lot about the original Chapo hosts, but just from lurking, I could glean that most people here thought of them as liberal-ish, but feel free to correct me.
They’re definitely less radical than the average here, but they’ve also definitely gone on a similar arc of radicalization as we have, considering some of their comments in recentish episodes about having regrets about their support for Bernie/AOC and others who have had bad responses to the ongoing Palestinian genocide. I just wouldn’t expect to come out with a pro-Stalin take any time soon.
They’re e-famous for the same reason every other e-famous person is. They were in the right place at the right time with the right show for the algorithm.
I mean the former got banned for stating the latter, no?
i believe they’re contrasting the podcast from the subreddit/hexbear, not the subreddit from hexbear.

Sorry for the pedantry this one just always gets to me
