Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

yeah it was a clean dunk

folks' whinging about their subscription income is extremely tiresome though

yeah, esp since it always makes me think about that Current Affairs essay about earning wealth v retaining wealth

like, it's not awful to take in a million dollars if a million ppl give you a dollar apiece, but it's probably bad to then hold on to all that wealth

That joke doesn't really work, not even as hyperbole

yeah i don't get it

Can't believe people are still complaining about how much money they make

we should all be making more money; wages lag well behind productivity and our bosses are greedy. they're not hurting anyone and the business model is (relatively) non-exploitative so who gaf. (also it's really easy to pirate their show and they do nothing to stop anyone from doing it AFAIK!)

i thought the whole point of internet socialism is that you get to tell other people who have more money than you how they should be spending it. is there any other aspect to it?

no, dipshit. the point is that people should be taxed more/models of ownership should not allow for hyper-wealth at all

simon is otm

Defending Chapo from good owns is total :corncob emoji:

why didn't you just post the corncob emoji... it's a good emoji

...is this a joke?

Fire departments work closely with the cops. If you’ve got a fire in your apartment, teach yourself to handle it with your community, don’t call the cops with hoses. Most times they just end up making things worse - water damage, insurance bullshit, moralizing accusations.

yes

lmao yes

I know that twitter makes it difficult to tell the difference sometimes

parsing the replies was what confused me

he has a knack for this

Bitcoin has not lost value. One bitcoin is still one bitcoin. This is just a temporary adjustment in the exchange rate to obsolete fiat currencies. Calm down.

But it wasn't even a remotely good own. And to anyone who thinks it was: Explain to me your values. Now.

though she is still the worst chapo I consistently enjoy Amber's advice column

@getfiscal is a great troll yea. socially conservative catholic and hardline revolutionary communist is a clever edgelord ideology profile

Chapo introduced the online far left to irony twitter and now the global proletariat has to rise up every time Christian drunkenly calls a mufo "Mr. Homo"

getfiscal got his fame in the something awful leftism shitposting board

“But it wasn't even a remotely good own. And to anyone who thinks it was: Explain to me your values. Now.“
Don’t tell this cop anything.

Dasha & Friends have their own dirtbag leftist women’s podcast:

Shanti Singh was a great guest. If she lived on the right coast i'd argue for her to take Amber's spot.

Promotion/relegation system for chapo pls

What’s wrong with amber

I liked her a lot too, but Matt and especically Felix need to STFU more often when a guest is speaking, especially female guests although I've noticed it with male guests too. They are not *that* funny that every single fucking point needs to turn into a three-minute tangent about some minor youtube figure or yet another encapsulation of Matt's marxist philosophy of things.

She literally had to redirect the conversation *herself* multiple times to stuff they had specifically just asked her to talk about

mansplain alive

I mean yeah, very much so in this past episode -- you have a guest who both worked in tech AND is an activist in SF housing, we really don't need to hear YOUR take on these subject based on the fact that you visited facebook once and read some articles

Yeah, Shanti is great.

The riffing gets annoying(sometimes Matt, usually Felix) and they’d do better to tamp down on the morning zoo tendencies when actually having a guest on who knows her shit.

I’m seeing their live show on Sunday, so we’ll see how that goes.

Live show was good. Extended riffing on K Williamson.

Impromptu AMA time to make up for the local of episode:

Virgil seems to be much more assertive and generally a presence in the recent, west coast editions. Does being out of Brooklyn help? Maybe its having the chance to catch up with his mom Alexis.

Matt V Brady's Ready Player One review was worth my $5 this month.

the rockabilly player one riff was v good

that was one of their best in a while, surprisingly, though it got a bit wearying near the end

And each of em got reeeeeeaaaal schticky at parts

There's such a wealth of stuff dunking on RP1 now, I'm not exactly complaining but it's a bit exhausting.

Shout-out to IDEOATV for being ahead of the curve on it.

Red Scare is really good

Not a fan of the Kurt Eichenwald bit (even w/ Adomian), he's really too pathetic to be funny

The only time I really get heated about Chapo Trap House is when Amber rags on the Alamo Drafthouse!

I think their food is really good >:(

The one in SF has terrible food

I hate theaters with food on principle but Alamo is the least bad of the lot.

When the first Studio Movie Grill opened up here, the seats were shitty office chairs.

Not even good Hermann Miller shit, the $19 cubicle farm special

I thought that Ready Player One show was great. Also really enjoyed Amber's "Klassic Krusty" quip.
