Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

OMGGG

Naomi Klein not so bad now huh

more like naomi decline

Oh man it’s so bad. And the it’s not even worth it, what he says is not all that interesting.

Although I did like his point about why it’s sort of trite and unsatisfying to make a sociological origin of the joker story.

Zizek otm

big lol at zizek claiming he won't see joker until he can get a pirate version of it

same, brother, same

He does have some claim to being a key ancestor if not the godfather of the dirtbag left

and very possibly the actual father of matt christman

i enjoyed the ten minute teaser of this ep and will happily listen to the full length when i can get a pirate version of it

*ahem*

took me a while to realize that wasn't a parody

The local branch in Kansas City (KCDSA) has misled the masses into think that the fight for socialism amounts to little more than hosting book clubs, film screenings, and ineffectual rallies. KCSDA has served as a magnet for cast-off activists and protest hoppers, as well as doing the leg work of local Democratic candidates.

yes, the masses are all brainwashed by the film screenings of the kansas city DSA

tankies are fucking dipshits

way to build a coalition, dumbasses

surely the better approach would be infiltrating the dsa and radicalizing people instead of creeping out the people most likely to be sympathetic to... whatever the hell it is they’re doing?

the mask guys scared me. i’m only going to centrist groups now

Groupuscules dont want to build coalitions

These aren’t tankies so much as they’re Shining Path larping students

Maoists are a kind of tankie imo

The best kind of tankie imo

uuuuuuhhnnnnnnn this zizek episode so good

"ohhf fuck my wvife ids going to be scho mad at me, oh fuck it, lets go another 20 minutes"

I wound up finishing it and it was actually good. Those sniffles are ROUGH to get through though.

oh this is neat!

yeah i've had to break up the episode over several listens, but it is good. kinda wish there was a transcript

the E1 with boeckner was p good. he’s fully podded up

Speaking of tankies...

Mad at Warren eps are going to get old fast. Their criticisms are mostly fair but I don’t want to hear anyone yell about it for an hour.

I like Kyle, and generally think he's a force for good but "I have never see flyover country before, what are those weird things" is a . real coastal look. At least he hasn't deleted it

Finally remembered to kill my Patreon pledge before I got charged for another month, the good episodes are getting more rare.

re kyle - it's kind of funny tho that the people talking the most shit are coastal elites whose grift is getting flyover rubes mad about college professors

I’m pretty sure he meant, what crops / farming methods caused different shades and shapes not “what’s an agriculture? I am completely unaware of that.”

He does follow up by saying he never flies and had never seen it before. Anyway, not looking to dunk on him, just strange to see . a clued up person miss something like this!

tbf that looks a little different from what I'm used to

I was doing the same thing over Poland because they have different crops, although I am guessing the entire system of plots are row crops are what he's noticing, and not the particular size of plots and their texture

I mean he clarified what he meant. He meant "Wow, this is really beautiful."

I don't think I've seen snow-covered farmland from the air like that either.

Twitter is ridiculous.

since this has in fact become the unofficial trillbillies thread, episode with Ky sports radio host Matt Jones was v interesting and slightly outside their normal wheelhouse. He was very obviously trying to bolster his potential senate run, but still offered a lot of good insights.

The Street Fight Brian and Felix Shocktober series has been interesting (if incredibly long). I never listened to shock jocks at all, I can't imagine listening to Stern or Mancow day in and day out.

god I love this stupid fucking podcast @CHAPOTRAPHOUSE pic.twitter.com/5AP4tHsP9I

Why is Matt doing Boss Nass?

The latest premium ep, including their UK election analysis, is the most I've ever liked Amber, and does a really good job explaining the difference btwn the Corbyn and Bernie projects

I used to wonder why folks in the media had such a hard time holding that whole Chapo zeitgeist accountable for their harm. The answer, I figured out, is the simplest thing in the world: Capitalism.

Huh

Sady is having a normal holiday season

I can’t even parse that tweet

social media is a cesspool.

bernie is out there running a campaign that tries to give a platform for ordinary people to tell their stories about crippling medical debt and other burdens that people have borne for decades in secrecy and shame

and then on twitter it's just nonsense about "berniebros" vs. "centrists"

i don't know if the chapo guys have really done "harm" or have just been "irreverent," but either way this is just a club sady doyle is using to beat the left. it's not about one podcast, it's about the opposition people like her have to real politics that addresses material issues, the natural home of which won't be twitter.
