Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

the main topic/article this week is pretty staggering

The largest undercover force the world has ever known is the one created by the Pentagon over the past decade. Some 60,000 people now belong to this secret army, many working under masked identities and in low profile, all part of a broad program called "signature reduction." The force, more than ten times the size of the clandestine elements of the CIA, carries out domestic and foreign assignments, both in military uniforms and under civilian cover, in real life and online, sometimes hiding in private businesses and consultancies, some of them household name companies.

The unprecedented shift has placed an ever greater number of soldiers, civilians, and contractors working under false identities, partly as a natural result in the growth of secret special forces but also as an intentional response to the challenges of traveling and operating in an increasingly transparent world. The explosion of Pentagon cyber warfare, moreover, has led to thousands of spies who carry out their day-to-day work in various made-up personas, the very type of nefarious operations the United States decries when Russian and Chinese spies do the same.

The Americans seems so quaint now

i'll be honest - i'm not into that!

nice try, signature reducer

i've been deep cover for years trying to infiltrate the neil young community

Is Newsweek back to being a trustworthy source? Not trolling: I was under the impression they'd become a garbage click farm

this appears to be one of their rare attempts at actual journalism

aren't they owned by a cult or something?

I really really really wish some Anonymous dorks (lol remember them) or just literally anyone would start doxxing/ counter-catfishing the FBI agents et al who run these ridiculous ops.

The FBI honeypotting the awkward teenager was enraging.

absolutely. magnified for me by the fact that whoever’s big brain birthed that debacle will only fail up, and retire comfortably as a real American hero

here's my ranking of dirtbag left accounts on letterboxd

will menaker: very good at it. he'd make a good film critic

matt christman: surprisingly bad. his reviews sound like high school essays or something, doesn't read as in his "voice" probably bc he doesn't care enough about movies to rant at them

stav from cum town: really funny, a natural

stav never having seen any movies and also getting movies mixed up is a good recurring bit

Brace is in Dallas this weekend at a q con, making new friends wherever he goes:

and the virgil metoo is in

When I was a teenager, I thought Virgil Texas was very funny. I asked him to proofread an essay I submitted to a website, and emailed it to him. The essay was about turning 16. We talked a little bit, and I thought he was very cool because he was funny and he lived in NY.

cw: inappropriate behaviour with a 16 year old girl, although the thread is not graphic

So which of these dudes is gonna turn out to be a serial abuser?

i have been thinking about this too

― gbx, Thursday, October 12, 2017 5:04 PM (three years ago)

the verdict is in!

i now remember reading people calling him a paedo on the red scare reddit a year or two ago so this probably wasn't news to the other members

Oh cool

at the time i thought it was edgelording because he is a nerdy bespectacled guy who "looks like a paedo"

I mean

anyway, interesting timing on that sacking

is it true he dated a 16 year old

― fuck it (Left), Wednesday, 22 April 2020 21:49 (one year ago)

dated is probably the wrong word here. fuck this guy and fuck this culture

accuser says she was contacted by the Daily Caller

i already knew virgil was a scumbag but not to this extent

like I hate to say I told you so but of any group of four random dudes who want attention one of them is probably doing some heinous shit

ok I don't actually hate to say I told you so, it rules

xp Two, if they're getting attention.

yes afaict "this culture" is just straight men

Honestly thought Virgil was gay. or bi.

sexual abuse and exploitation of teenagers by adults is basically mainstream

hot ready and legal et cetera

Or I should say: I guess he’s bi?

I don't think sexuality as such necessarily has much to do with whether you are a person who will be abusive to a teenage fan who sends you an email

true enough

"this culture" i meant the whole edgy dirtbag vice adjacent thing in this instance but yes it's just patriarchy

Fuck him and also never trust a man who has done or even tried to do standup.

massive fuck you to everyone who so confidently asserted that the “allegations against” taibbi had been “debunked”. this is how you reproduce rape culture

Bringing on Matt Taibbi for an episode of your show with Virgil Texas is maybe not the best timing right now. https://t.co/JSSQxLZLPu

Virgil has an accuser at least

how come i knew about this over a year before she came forward? honestly i don’t remember where i heard it but it has been out there for some time. why does it need to come to this every fucking time?

There was a list of online creeps years ago and VT was on it

now chapo stans and the crypto fascists in their orbit have been harassing her on social media to no one’s surprise. this could have been avoided

The fact that she was scared of being accused of being a pro-Trumper and that it delayed her coming forward is unbelievable, and a major illustration of the toxicity of that milieux. I hope she finds peace.

well yes. but there’s also the president and his fans

thank go’s she has the two of you to

how come i knew about this over a year before she came forward? honestly i don’t remember where i heard it but it has been out there for some time. why does it need to come to this every fucking time?

case*

anyway, fuck groomer creeps including “Virgil Texas”.

but thank christ you two unbearable clowns are here to victory dance
