Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

Unless it has changed recently, Florida explicitly allows libel action against non-residents for online posts.

prophet matt strikes again

So apparently the sticker on the bombs said "Git Er Done" in a faux ISIS font with silhouetted mudflap ladies? What the hell.

It's unmistakable.

lmao at the latest episode opening with Ava Adore in the morning zoo bit

ok this is embarrassing but the Ava Adore music video autoplayed in another tab as I opened my computer and started listening to the new episode. the timing was perfect trust me

Amber hating on Crass, just another problematic position.

wtf why?

Ha

possibly the ultimate flappy bird post

lol

it fit so well with the bit and I literally only noticed something was off once the theme song was over. the levels were perfect and it was like yeah, of course Ava Adore would be the bed track for a morning zoo show. they're talking over it with the airhorn, three songs going at once. Damn

lmfao

Wrong on Crass but right on Billy Bragg tbf

i hate that he mixes up speedway announcer monster truck guy with morning zoo dj.

Say what you will about R*d Sc*re but if I had known all I would have to do to get paid for doing nothing is get a dogshit haircut and say the r word a lot i might have done it too

The podcast didn't "get a lift" from Dasha's video, it was founded directly afterwards, and would have maybe 1/30th the audience without it.

(that was in response to the Cut piece, I should clarify)

I've never heard Red Scare, but it sounds like Fuse's Rad Girls to Cum Town's Jackass

i've never listened to it either but going off of that profile they're... awful

cut piece describes cumtown as a leftist podcast lmfao

It's very weird that this article doesn't call it "Chapo Trap House" on first reference or even fully explain what it is until Dasha's quote, even in an aside like "popular lefty comedy podcast Chapo Trap House."

It's either bad writing or just the assumption that anyone reading "The Cut" is just an always-online, irony person.

(Three such men hosted a Red Scare Roundup podcast that breaks down the latest episode. One of the hosts is Ilan Zechory, a co-founder of Genius — and Gelman’s husband.)

These guys are fucking cultural barnacles, man

Also, like, lowercase b and not contextualizing this kind of niche joke makes me think the author and/or editor doesn't ... understand what a "Burner" is?

Red Scare has described Elon Musk as looking like “if Eva Braun and Hitler had survived that bunker and given birth to a baby who was a burner,”

"(A friend of mine in Berlin had heard about them through someone there who used to date the founder of K-Hole, the branding group that originated the term normcore.)"

Friend-dropping worthy of a certain old-school England-living ILXor.

kill whitey motherfuckers

"a friend of mine said some shit" is a construction that appears way too often in that piece

It seems increasingly likely that the rising generation is more likely to turn conservative not because they want to be rich, but because they want to be mean.

(A friend of mine in Berlin had heard about them through someone there who used to date the founder of K-Hole, the branding group that originated the term normcore.)

...I need to get off the internet.

Xpost That sounds plausible imo

i think it's pretty dumb idk

can u say more

ive never heard of this podcast but i thought this podcast was smart & interesting

“I met Dasha’s agent inside,” said Gelman, who, in a leftward turn, had just hosted a fundraiser for the Democratic Socialist Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez. “I was like, I wish you could angel-invest in ‘It’ girls.”

this part is so good... using the first part of the quote to shade the red scare girls but then using the second half of the quote to shade gelman

er thought this profile* rather

i don't listen to any of them but out of chapo, cumtown and this, red scare seems like the least embarrassing to listen to or god forbid pay money for

nah can’t really, more of a feeling than anything i could articulate

Red Scare is all of the Berniebro Chapo stereotypes but real.

It’s much less socially liberal than that.

yeah I'm glad the profile used the term "revanchist" cause it actually applies here

responses to Christina from Mic Dicta up there highlighting the quality of the Red Scare fandom

Androsky’s explanation of public banking seemed line it was lacking something or confusing something. Still an interesting concept I want to learn more about.
