Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

was just thinking about how much of a useful idiot one has to be at this point to still not realize that the entire CTH universe is propped up with russian propaganda $$$. Just because it's possible to anticipate an argument or constantly lampshade it with snark doesn't mean it's not true, buds ❤❤❤

waht

you're a catastrophically stupid person

catastrophic for whom?

himself, the state of discourse around politics in the u.s.

This may be one layer of irony too deep of an irony-poisoned show

Like, we fell thru the irony superstructure and have passed thru every level of the base, so we’ve taken up residence in the irony sub-basement

not everything you don't like is russia for the love of god

things that are russia according to libs with large social media presences in the u.s.: black lives matter, bernie sanders and his supporters, the catalan independence movement, racism and white supremacy in america etc.

useful idiot, you say

patreon is a russian front open your eyes

correct the record troll

aren't one of you going to "ironically" call me a cuck?

what are you doing here, buddy?

resisting

that popular ironic ilx insult "cuck"

Ian D.

If the CTH Universe was propped up with Russian Money, Street Fight would be bragging about and doing waaaaaay more drugs.

Kratom by the kilo

well this has taken a turn

*wonders to self* What are people fighting about on the Chapo thread now?
*clicks*
"blinks*
*blinks again*
*clicks back, considering the void and the unknowable strangeness of man*

related note: just heard that apparently "liberal" is a bad word again--only this time it's being stigmatized by those on the left. If your goal is to make no one feel safe self-identifying with left-wing politics for fear of using the wrong moniker you're doing a great fucking job

where did you "hear" that, Lenny Letter?

I think we found a time traveler from February 2017.

Back in 2016 it was more common for tankies to accuse them of being a CIA front. Tables have turned I guess.

Sheesh! Believe me, that was not at all cherry picked either

oh i think you're looking for a different thread: everybody on ilx complains about reddit

Dan, what are you anxious about?

we're already living it, man

welcome to the resistance, comrade

I think correct form is to make fun of them for not being able to make a podcast after a year and a half, not for being a Russian front.

^ I'm a truther in this regard—I think they do whole episodes that are so offensive that they tank them, then blame "technical" issues

like I guarantee you there's a whole Weinstein episode out there that so flagrantly violates the boundaries of good taste that it was easier to say "the computer ate it" than "we did 70 minutes of off-color rape jokes"

more likely they discard eps where they're blazed beyond comprehension

yes. this definitely happened.

even the chapo boys weren't dumb enough to think they could even touch the sexual assault/harassment awareness moment we're having

they dealt with it in the best way possible considering the gender balance and tenor of their show.

Did you hear the statement Amber specifically made about why they decided not to do a Weinstein episode?

like I said, I'm a truther

Yeah, wtf. There is a definite thing of people openly wanting to disingenuously conflate them with the show their idiot friends/roommate make, and heap no endless amounts of accusations of shit that just _has_ to happen off-mic or under the surface but _never_ on the actual show itself.

I don't think they had a "the computer ate it" ep the week of the not-Weinstein episode

Seems pretty likely to me that, in addition to Amber, Will would have been sensible enough to think "probably not a good idea" or at least "how the fuck do we do this?"

Look, these guys are constantly flirting with the boundaries of good taste. Sometimes, they will cross those boundaries. They've had to edit out entire segments before—including a long riff making fun of the victims of the Boston marathon bombing.

Is it so hard to imagine them doing a show that contained a majority of such material?

Of course, as a Russian stooge sent here to poison the online discourse, that's what I would say

Going back to this

we're already living it, man

I sincerely want to know; what idea would actual feed an accusation of Russian bot-ness? What motivates an impulse to even consider something like “oh these people are quite rude and hurl japery at establishment figures not currently branded ‘republican’, their mass success can only be the result of evil slavic foreign deviltry?”

hey dan what's that "I" stand for anyway........... ........... ..... ... .. . .

I heard if you keep looking around trying to identify the bot, youre the bot!
