Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

always enjoy the matt history eps but the vocal fry in the new one is like anti-asmr

The sound was shit too, like ultra low quality early mp3. But yeah I would love Inebriated Past as its own podcast.

I dug the history one, yeah

Matt as grad student TA taking over the lecture while the history prof is home sleeping it off

lol

ahahahahhahaha!

case closed! eric garland does it again

Haha!

Omfg

this owns

I'll pitch in on the Red Scare patreon if Dasha pivots to just harassing Garland and co. full-time

Yeah, Dasha and Anna could get a full week of entertainment out of subtly(or even openly) just trolling the guy

I would be so mad if I bought tickets to their live show and it was one of these worst people lists.

A special message from a Mr David Hayter:

hahahahah it's even funnier because felix had david hayter on one of his earlier podcast (...dirtbag? scumbag?) and talked to him for like an hour about MGS

god cameo is so creepy and weird

having said that i'm not not advocating for ilx to pool our cash to pay for kathy griffin to yell 'WE WANT HEN FAP' on video

creepy? or sad? i vote sad

i dunno if it's an either/or situation tbf

CitationsNeeded along with Luke Savage go over a certain tv show and how much pop culture reflects political sensibilities vs how much it shapes it

Getting into why people get into conspiracy theory when they realize things are fucked up and not say more leftist, more accurate analysis, but you have to talk to these folks and not just dump Marxist tomes on them.

Also plays a lovely clip of David Icke on the phone raving to Alex Jones about this wonderful program he’d seen on the History Channel that explained everything, called “Ancient Aliens”

That pamphlet is probably folly but it's a neat idea!

it’s hard to explain why people favour one conspiracy theory over another

Not necessarily, there are pretty consistent traits to what we refer to as “conspiracy theories,” and why folks who believe one are much more suceptible to others.

Corey Pein had a good bit in the Baffler a couple years back about how theorists could be described as “the world’s shittiest detectives,” as they’re aware aomething is up but are ludicrously inept at figuring out the culprit.

I’ve heard it explained elsewhere that RW cons theories are these wild, evocative thrilling stories of dark secrets and subterfuge that only the Elect Few of Really Smart People can divine, whereas left wing conspiracy theories have been explicitly written out in dusty books sitting on the shelf of your local library for the past century.

it's amusing to me that ppl think of the chapo listener base as misogy-bros, the top of ILE and r/cth are identical at the moment

Friend-of-Chapo Libby just posted a quietly devastating and timely personal piece.

i spent last night writing about something that happened to me that i've never been able to categorize, to help me sort it out. i'm sharing it in case it helps other women do the same. it's long and no one has edited it, on purpose. it's just me. https://t.co/55WkxzMg7l

I've heard that cumtown, which I do not listen to, has a bit near the beginning of its most recent patreon episode, which rumor has it is available free on soundcloud about a dog movie called Fluke that nearly caused some guy to drive off the road this morning from laughing so hard.

huh?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UvJY3IE_Cc

I heard the bit, funniest part was 10 minutes later when Nick brought it up again and Stav said “who’s fluke?”

Someone crashed their car bc of this?

recently,
nick: name a number between 1 and 2000
stav: 4000

yes, incredible

up there with "Thousand Island Stare"

I think the gag is that man alive does not want to admit to listening to cum town

man alive is a politipod head

best CTH laugh lately was Amber's description of Bari Weiss - "aka Stav think he look good in that wig"

sources tell me the line was actually "slick in that wig"

and i believe will delivered it

I think he said they looked alike in an earlier episode but it was Amber with the "slick in that wig"

milo, you know that's from a meme right?

No, I try to not be aware of memes.

Are they still into cocaine?

nah

Some personal news: I listened to a whole episode of this. Matt seems smart.

On your own initiative or by circumstance?

Matt live-streamed on periscope a follow up lecture to his fascism talk, on who made up fascist movements:
