Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

You should listen to his solo podcast, then. It's good! xp

oh cool yeah i didn't know about him before

He’s done some good convos with Abby Martin over the last year, too

Oswalt obviously loves these dudes.

also on Twitter I caught Felix agreeing to show do Ella Guro's podcast, which I'd been meaning to check out anyway!

I love when Patton is on Chapo

patton's obvious affection for the hosts is v sweet

Sweet and somewhat surprising tbh - I'd figured that corner of comedy would be all-in-for-Hillary centrist dems.

Virgil is making new friends everyday:

Get your facts straight. The “AR” in AR-15 doesn’t stand for “assault rifle.” It stands for “automatic rifle” because the AR-15 is in the machine gun class of calibers.

ha I just read that thread for some reason. what is wrong with everyone?

lmao I almost linked that on the gun control thread

lol

Matt guested on Trashfuture, a UK pod worth your time.

http://trashfuturepodcast.podbean.com/e/towards-a-political-theory-of-smashing-ft-matt-christman/

They get into the history of the Luddites, and what happens when people respond to automation forcing them out of work.

hope they talk about CAPTAIN SWING

and what happens when people respond to automation forcing them out of work.

can you tell me? it just happened to me and i need guidance.

Traditionally, they smashed the looms

Did NOT expect to see Laissze’s Faire namechecked in this one:

re: Richard Wolf, comparing candidate answers here is a hoot

https://voterguide.dallasnews.com/2018-primary/races/40/#candidates=candidate-82,candidate-83

and it turns out there's another Chapo Candidate http://www.webforalabama.com/issues/

Why is Brendan dead to chapo what did he do besides quit

oh nothing

Oooo
Will check out the cover when I get home

Brendan's not really dead to Chapo, he's been in the studio for a couple of episodes.

trash future......................... is not funny

yeah I couldn't get very far into that one

yeah i wasn’t particularly taken with it either

is there a decent uk-based dirtbag politics podcast out there? i’ve tried reel politik a couple of times and find the hosts super-irritating :(

Idea of a UK chapo reminds me a bit of that philosophers stone of british tv execs in the 90s, a British Simpsons.

which we got, in the form of the peerless 2.4 children

how can there be .4 of a child lol

there is an ok one that got hounded in the press a bit, lemme see if I can remember it

That's reel politik isn't it?

how can there be .4 of a child lol

Yes, it's Reel Politik I was thinking of.

British Simpsons was Stressed Eric

Preferred Rex the Runt

edgy

pls, pls, pls can cum town start calling itself something else so I can begin contemplating engaging with it

i’ve tried reel politik a couple of times and find the hosts super-irritating :(

Less bothered about the hosts than the editor putting bits of EVERY SINGLE THING THEY REFERENCE in, makes it borderline unlistenable.

jesus that backpack
i cannot believe ppl on here defend that trash

that's pretty much just whiney

pls, pls, pls can cum town start calling itself something else so I can begin contemplating engaging with it

the name is the least objectionable element of cum town

I'm not defending it, but I'm also not lining up to call an adjacent podcast indefensible

the little cum town i listened to i genuinely found parts of it completely hilarious but the surfeit of ethnic voices, stuff about "retarded people", calling adam gay, and a whole other variety of transgressive bullshit was just waaaay too much for me to handle

surfeit of ethnic voices

um maybe it's their turn to speak?? getta load of this white guy needs all the air over here

Um

Never mind

Lol wut? I assumed jim meant the hosts doing wacky ethnic voices

hey now

lmao

Pretty funny from sleepingbag who says conservatives can't do comedy
