My new rule for myself is to stop scrolling on any social media when I see something incredibly stupid or cringe. On facebook sometimes it’s the first post I see.
I’m only on instagram because my co-hosts (and a few other leftist content creators we know) are on there. So most of my feed is leftist memes, anti-genocide memes (until those accounts get banned), car memes, and cat pics. But yeah as soon as the algorithm runs out of that, it starts showing me really dumb facebook level bullshit.

When I made the account I thought that my podcast co-hosts might post on here too, but it’s ended up being mostly just me. So in this case “them” is plural.
In this episode, we analyze the iconic 1977 film “Smokey and the Bandit” with the hosts of Cars and Comrades. We share our personal connections to the movie, discussing how it shaped our views on truck driving and outlaw culture, particularly through Brandon’s experience. The conversation revolves around the Bandit’s wild quest to transport Coors beer and critiques the comedic representation of law enforcement, exemplified by Sheriff Buford T. Justice. We delve into the film’s themes of working-class solidarity and anti-authoritarianism, highlighting the camaraderie among truckers and the Bandit’s folk hero status. Our analysis also touches on the humor, improvised dialogue, and gender roles, particularly through Sally Field’s character. As we reflect on the film’s lasting legacy, we share personal ratings and recommendations, reiterating its significance for car enthusiasts and fans of classic comedy, all while reinforcing our mission to explore car culture from a leftist perspective.

We’ve talked about this a little with Zac “the Mad Redneck” Hyden, a mechanic, organizer, and Christian Leftist from Alabama. He says that Appalachia is an internal colony inside the USA, and among other things it needs land reform to redistribute the land owned by absentee capitalists. He goes into more depth here: https://themadredneck.substack.com/p/internal-orientalism-of-the-american

I don’t think I’ve seen any literal nazis here but I’m sure they exist. It’s not quite Idaho but there are plenty of weirdo libertarians and christians. Although I guess there was that one time a nazi told an FBI informant about wanting to blow up a synagogue and went straight to prison for 20 years.
I might get some of the “FULLY COOKED” labels and wear them on my shirt when I’m having a bad day.
A few years ago I got some labels that said “For Rectal Use Only” and stuck them to a bunch of large objects on April Fools’ Day. Maybe that’s how The Algorithm discovered my fascination with weird labels.
