Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

was that praise? I honestly couldn’t tell wtf was going on

I hate MCU as much as the next guy but ppl's attempts to make us believe DCU or those Sony movies are superior are always eyeroll worthy.

as much as i use the internet i barely know what MCU is and i'm happy that way

this is the new i don't even own a TV for me. as i get older, i don't know anything anymore

I think you know

i know what it stands for but it sounds bad and dumb

oh actually the c is for cinematic not comics as i had assumed

i'm reading about it on wikipedia

venom is gay and ridiculous therefore i like watching it more than most superhero movies

It wasn’t worse than any of the Avengers or X-Men films, or most Spider-Man films. I can’t think of any recent DC film I’ve watched but I can’t imagine they’re vastly superior to Venom.

of all the superhero movies ive watched in the last few years (I intentionally watched about 5 or 6 a couple of xmases ago after eschewing them for years, and have watched a few since) venom was one of the better ones. although I don't remember that much of it

the Eminem song at the end was a highlight

reading a novel about the iraq war ('cherry' by nico walker) and listening to s1 of blowback. enjoying it so far. it's a fun form of revisionism where they do the material of the jon stewart era of political humour but with contemporary twitter brocialist humour. like joking about which sopranos characters saddam hussein's sons are

No, marxist-communist. aka not the wishy washy left stalinist/social democrat kind (because stalinism is big push industrialisation for agricultural economies eventually dissolving in social democracy.) See the PCF and PCI.

there has never been a need for Stalinism in the west, that's why it has come across as wishy washy liberal market place of ideas pick your ideology shag Nick Clegg's daughter who went to glastonbury does pills once a year family worked hard for everything they've got bovine philistinism.

playacting

lol no I meant the poster

otm about Stalinism though.

Most recent TrueAnon on social media & mental health was very good imo

E1 Joe Biden Costco Town Hall is pure brain cancer

ooh i can't wait!

that's funny, he came here to have a town hall last month and my dad texted me because he saw it on cnn and i said "i'm at costco" and his response was "joe's not there." but maybe?

Anything else about people who have hosted the popular podcast "Chapo Trap House" that you haven't said a public word about you want to get off your chest right now?

I’m off Twitter again and I probably don’t really want to know but uh what’s the deal w Alice from Queens, other than MattY was really about it there (iirc)

I think BJG was somewhat relatable (?) in some surface ways, supporting things I supported, but after the primaries there was this entire deal where she’s in this space that isn’t pushing interesting ideas and isn’t funny

I think I listened to that podcast with her and Virgil, where he had no one to really counteract or riff against, and then he was gone for obvious reasons and not only was it not addressed in a clear way, she kind of got even less interesting

plus her takes on star trek were horrible. just terrible!

Nothing particularly interesting. Mostly a critique of liberal-left media / Twitter without being as deliberately obnoxious as Greenwald or as unhinged as Aimee Therese. Over time that has turned into an attempt to develop a micro-brand (Substack, etc) that doesn't seem to have generated much traction.

people are really bad at judging when their fifteen minutes are up or have delusions about how large their potential audience could be

The way Bad Faith has handled (not-handled) the disappearance of Virgil is pretty baffling. It feels like there must be a contract involved, otherwise they'd have publicly cuts ties with him long ago.

lol wtf

Photos taken of famous people together that yeah no fuck it

Well thats the last straw. I’m cancelling my Infowars subscription.

They should have reunited with the worm-brain reporter.

speaking of worm-brain reporters

Yes, I'm aware of what he's done. Sometimes journalists interview bad people, especially when they play a significant role in society or have an influential platform. That's why real journalists interviewed Osama bin Laden after 9/11, which some think is worse than Alex Jones.

I really enjoyed TrueAnon being stalked by children in VR chat.

boy that 35 minutes of ironic Brandon bits was something

finding out the Red Scare girls got Covid has triggered the worst parts of my (in)humanity, lmaoooooo

It is me, the unspeakable loser

Fwiw I was diagnosed with something called Adult Onset Still’s Disease. If you google Still’s + Covid-19 you can find studies reporting cases triggered by the vaccine as well as the virus. Either way how much of an unspeakable loser do you have to be to hornily gloat over this? https://t.co/7jfM3sIC2a

They exist in such a weird space. Making bank on Patreon but they have essentially no reach beyond that aside from people delighting when they're miserable or owned.

really liked the last CTH w the guy from E1 who was a nurse throughout the pandemic and just recently quit.

RPG eps actually listenable without Virgil

also someone should do a lefty pod thraed that’s not so umm sullied by the this title. last two non-Patreon Know Your Enemy eps have been really good imo

There’s also just the “podcasts” thread too if need be

also a Political/History podcasts thread

Feel like the decision to put the microphone inside felix’s mouth when they recorded the new episode was a mistake

You don’t find a close-miced vape soothing?

What’s a good, horridly punning name for a leftpod thread?
