Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

scoring that bout for will actually, sorry virgil

though wd think ppl's retreat into the anti social world of video games is a symptom not a cause

gonna need some evidence that Khalek is an actual Assad apologist tbh

Loved Matt finally admitting that Felix is annoying as shit when he picks some youtube video or meme or site and beats it to death as a reference point (the god's plan video).

wasn't expecting a deep-dive on dune lore but i can't day it was unwelcome (although will's flagrant mispronounciation of denis villeneuve's name was pretty aggravating - it sometimes seems like these guys didn't utter a word their entire lives until they started podcasting)

they didn’t

(god's plan)

Certain words Will’s cursed to mispronounce forever due to the pitiable circumstances of his Manhattanite upbringing, like “rather”

i enjoyed the family history with will's dad

i've gone down the rabbit hole of tankie paranoia about these guys and honestly it's really entertaining and kind of thought provoking!

i mean, the iowa writers project was CIA funded. it's a weird world.

i think the secret to the age of podcast oversaturation is pick out eps based on the guests. there's only a couple i listen to fully sequentially.

i mean, the iowa writers project was CIA funded.

As was Foucault's gang iirc

TOR and Signal are DARPA projects. it's feds all the way down.

the idea of government black-ops cash supporting virgil's overwatch habit and keeping matt supplied with pairs of crocs is so awesome i kinda hope it's true tbh

useful idiot felix biederman reporting for duty, sir!

said rabbit hole:

since it involves the family of one of the Chapo guys and I used family memoirs as a primary source.

favourite detail from that, about the fbi agent tom mcdade that will's dad talked about during his episode:

Eventually he hires a young Daniel Menaker as a corporate spy to infiltrate a food conglomerate and steal an instant soup recipe for General Mills, as related in Daniel Menakers autobiographical short story "I Spy."

brb gonna write from soup to nuts: the chapo trap house story and rush it out as a self-published ebook spoiler before their book hits the shelves

another weird rabbit hole was when all the tankies that thought pisspiggrandad was acting as an imperialist cia plant when he went to rojava to help the ypg

well there have been NATO airstrikes in support of the YPG, right? they do have a bizarre place as US client

like most conspiracy theorists they seem to assume a lot more competence than there is, ever

or that some aimless bay area dipshit wouldn't run off to do something romantic and communist, like that's just too weird to believe

Any force other than the Syrian government are imperialist lackeys in the eyes of the tankies. So YPG may as well bel Al-Nusra or ISIS

if someone could do a quick explainer on my the tankies are pro-assad, that would be great, it's totally confusing to me

what I've seen has not been pro-assad so much as countering the narrative that the US has not been involved and needs to do more

a lot of tankies are reflexively ant-NATO/the west when it comes to foreign policy. so for instance they will defend or minimize serbian war crimes during the yugoslavian civil war because serbia was backed by russia and bombed by NATO.

in Syria were the opposition forces have been western funded jihadists http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/15/world/middleeast/jihadists-receiving-most-arms-sent-to-syrian-rebels.html?mtrref=www.google.ca&gwh=F89CC97711B83E8283EE22C80058A4E3&gwt=pay, western funded YPG https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20180130-what-is-behind-the-us-support-of-the-ypg/ and the regime is backed by russia, and iran, for a lot of tankies this is basically a manichaean good vs bad, imperialism vs anti-imperialism sort of situation. as obtuse as that may sound

of course tankies literally think that stalinism was good and that the dprk has a good system of government

This should be good

damn anime daria got owned

her actual answers were mostly not great (mostly because people tend to freeze up when faced with bullshit "gotcha" framings which is why they get used) but her delivery/outfit combo more than make up for it

honestly tho the correct response when faced with 1nfowars / rebel med1a assholes is to walk away

yeah IW will run this as a "win" all day long. just tell em to OD on BRAIN FORCE and fuck off

dasha won

'anime daria' gtfo

the fash have no respect for sailor mercury it seems

In my experience, best way to handle Infowars creeps is to just reply "that's what THEY want you to believe" to anything they say and if they ask you to clarify mumble about the deep state.

xpost flappy bird no need to dignify the 'bag with an answer

dasha calling her 'honey,' looking at her phone the whole time, and the last exchange - "what question? / healthcare / free healthcare" - she wins

oh yeah wait lmao how could i forget "you people have worms in your brain"

is this the same dasha thats dating adam?

yeah

she's really great in a new movie called Wobble Palace, that's why she was at SXSW

she's very charming

dating that damn bug tho lol

The best thing about the actress drinking iced coffee is that she’s repeating chapo memes on camera so I end up not seeing her as an elite.

given that the de facto leader of chapo is a native manhattanite son of a new yorker editor i don't think they really lend a non-elite cred? nor is that the appeal of the show?

but being an actor is obviously beyond the pale, as is drinking ice coffee

havent you guys heard actors have really reliable and lucrative streams of income, it's like guaranteed $$$

i put out a resume to be in the next marvel movies, fingers crossed :)

Hollywood dumped me, my family disowned me, religion is now a crime, and any sense of community has been completely corrupted. We have become a dog eat dog world. The less trust we have, the smaller our forces. And the more we feel alone, the less we are a threat.

getting disowned by my family to own the libs

what chapo memes did dasha say? all she said was that health care should be free. and that infowars employees have worms in their brains

They bring up Venezuela like four times in the full clip

https://youtu.be/febVuHWGx5Y

venezuela isn't a chapo meme also dasha is only in like a minute of it

Oh, I didn't mean that in response to you. I just thought it was amusing that they kept bringing up Venezuela.
('They' = the Infowars people)

o right

hell yea

did you know they eat rats for dinner there?
