Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

It’s like Doctor Who fandom!

when cumtown is in the trending tab it's probably not going to be good

iiiii see

The 1975 and Cumtown

It’s like an ilx dream

ilxilm cult

I laughed a lot reading that article. I think they would have gotten away with it if they just kept the name Cumtown, because no one can act surprised that there is offensive stuff on a podcast called Cumtown. But also they need to keep the guests to loser standup comics and not have anyone with a real audience.

"saying controversial things just for the hell of it" was an homage to matty's favourite podcast cumtown all along

i'm guessing that user Left will not be surprised to learn that these guys have now gone full alt-right

cool stuff, cool subculture

you know I really don't want the hillary fans to have been right all along about something, it's embarrassing, I hoped enough criticism might help curb the worst excesses, that was naive

i'm guessing that user Left will not be surprised to learn that these guys have now gone full alt-right

Wait, what? Are you referring to Adam Friesland or his show or the chapo show or what?

Ariel Pink went on a comedy show so we’re going to pretend horseshoe theory is real

when did they ever go too far left

I've been complaining about their hostility to anything left of bernie since forever

Don't really think the lesson need be "horseshoe theory is real" as much as "Brooklyn careerists unsurprisingly flexible in their political leanings". #notalldirtbags and all but.

Cumtown isn’t a political podcast?

all podcasts are political *nods sagely*

this is praaaaaxisssssss

Didn't know who Adam Friedland was. Now hoping to forget.

Nick Mullen really did him dirty by calling it the Adam Friedland show.

cumtown was a self-described "leftist podcast"

not so much "horseshoe theory" as it is not-funny hacks with zero principles in their quest for likes, larfs, and $

if the situation is too difficult for you, go back to your edge lord safe space where it's ok to call one another the R word. as for us on this board, i think we'd all prefer to live in reality. people suck, get over it. and yes you should feel embarrassed for even intimating a defense of these dumbasses and that hateful piece of shit ariel pink.

the dude out here defending RYM and Rick and Morty, watching The Orville, posting all over Zappa and TBMG and Magic the Gathering and Norm MacDonald threads, writing treatises on vaporwave... you may want to take a look at the people in your immediate circle there, dogg

― Whiney G. Weingarten

AND you're a hypocrite

you know what, i'm sorry. i don't give a shit about any of this and i'm not going to post about it anymore

I could never get into Cumtown, and found Stav the most iritating part of the few episodes I heard, but seems like he was smart to jump ship

cumtown was a self-described "leftist podcast"

lol no, it wasn’t. It’s (unlistenable) juvenile shock comedy. I see no reason to ever listen to the cretins who host it but reading any broader political angle into this about leftists and ‘Hillary stans were right’ is very very dumb.

Cumtown is a swim through a sewer - you know what you're getting when you dive in. It was definitely not a "leftist podcast" nor a political podcast in any sense.

that twitter files revelation about Matt was pretty funny

you guys think that the chapo-to-fash pipeline isn’t real? then how come all the chapo hosts combined into a single person to serve as DeSantis’s top bodyguard? pic.twitter.com/aY0cg25qqz

Matt's in hospital for something that will require "a significant period of recovery". Plus his daughter is due to be born on Sunday.

xp yeah that was floating around along with some other details of him in prior ventures

still pretty funny on the name coincidence

really awful news about matt christman :(

I hope it’s one of those things that’s urgent but also relatively low risk. Sounds like the timing couldn’t be worse

:( love to matt.

from the sound of the update, looks good but not out of the woods.

Will reading a prepared statement will always sound ridiculous. It took me a minute to realize it was serious and that the emergency medical situation was not the birth of the kid.

Looking forward to Matt recovering and coming back to the show to read all the tweets wishing him dead

lol. yeah would be a good replacement for riffing on the Desert Storm trading cards. The streams had been really good lately though.

now that I’ve listened to the update it sounds pretty bad. hoping for the best for the Christmans

[matt christman livestream]

I don’t think class consciousness will be attainable in our lifetimes. But I do think the seeds for an egalitarian society are already planted, we just have to water them.

*5 sec pause, looks at chat*

No I haven’t tried the new BK Spider-Man burger

TED TALK: “I had a stroke, I experienced ego death and collective consciousness. I realized we are one with the universe.”

Get well soon, Matt. Posting on Twitter probably won’t help this process, but…

S4 of Blowback is really good
