Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

That first one is definitely shitty. If your response after Charlottesville is to criticize Clinton-tweets, then you've become a caricature.

She can walk and chew gum at the same time.

the second one is Chelsea talking about something that was specifically and directly done to her and her circle of acquaintances

She could have expressed in a way that wasn’t dismissive about what Yates was addressing.

Seriously dude?

You might want to do a quick google search to see what her most popular charlottesville tweet was

The one w the picture of herself in it?

oh, fuck off

With all due respect the Hillary one is better, acknowledges the gravity/tragedy of what happened. Second is as much s platitude w added level of branding I guess.

I mean the Chelsea one is as much of a platitudinous statement.

"we can do better than just blandly dismissing prejudice" is not as platitudinous as...blandly dismissing prejudice, esp coming from someone who actually advocates for transformative policy changes

fucking love the turn this thread has taken, as we agonise over which of two chelsea manning tweets from months ago are better

also lol at chastising someone for putting themselves in their tweet, on twitter, that most selfless and anonymous of platforms where your name and picture are plastered on every message

Imagine if HRC had done that Manning tweet lol

what the fuck are you talking about

curb stomping in cedar rapids

imagine if hrc did 9/11, or hrc was a duck, or if hrc had screwed a homeless man’s femur to an icbm

The same people would love it if she did that exact same tweet I think. No one would say she was “making it about her”, probably.

This is the dumbest argument I've helped drag on in recent memory. I'm out.

In other, actually thread-relevant news, we got two new co-ops in at work, both dudes around 21/22-ish, and I made a bet to myself that one of them would be a Chapo listener, and I was right. (I live in Toronto and I work for a company that makes accounting software.)

I’m curious if there’s a Canadian Chapo yet. Michael & Us covers agitprop, Trashfuture has canadians living in the UK.

there isn't really. I've pondered trying to do something like that but it's really a lot of work! (not as much work as, like, a real job, but more than you might think)

trudeau curd house

chapeau sap house

Lobaws Gord House

Loblaws even god damn it

in all seriousness can you imagine how depressing and draining it would be to keep up with the canadian politics and punditsphere with the same level of obsessiveness that chapo does for the states

fucking love the turn this thread has taken, as we agonise over which of two chelsea manning tweets from months ago are better

i usually enjoy these episodes but i found this one a bit of a snooze personally. the film is too tepid and bland to be good to riff on maybe?

It could have been shorter and had about three dozen fewer news jokes. Matt doing the newsman accent is just not that funny.

Amber & Angela Nagle are on Dead Pundits Society, talking about the explosion of the DSA, Mark Fisher, subculture vs political movement, Europe’s fascists getting Americanized, etc

https://soundcloud.com/deadpundits/ep-40-naglemania-the-dirtbag-left-w-angela-nagle-and-amber-alee-frost

Nagle has been so shit of late that I don't think I could stand to listen to that

Enh, I thought it was a decent episode.

yeah I agree about The Post episode being weak, I mean they were totally right, I saw the movie, but as jim said, the movie is so staid and empty they sort of run out of things to say 15 min in.

I thought they had some interesting analysis of how the movie jerks off the boomers vs how diminished the meaning of that moment is today, in the wake of all the shitty pro-imperial-war stuff the Post has done since.

lol we gonna talk about Nagl interviewing Richard Spencer, or would it be too much of a victory lap for the 'she's an asshole' cru.

I mean, giving exposure to this disgusting unrepentant fash... he's gone way down in my estimation.
