Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

I get it now ha ha

my mind is blown

anyway this latest non-live ep feels like their most clear-eyed and energetic in a while. matt's election analysis while not earth-shatteringly original seems broadly correct.

since many here consider DP to be a dirtbag

Recorded 24 hours ago. Get it while it's still semi-fresh, before the DNC snaps the progressive neck once and for all. https://t.co/T7Zt4abVkR

some kind of bag

the windbag left

many people are saying, more and more, that DP...

many people also consider Dennis Perrin to be:

one of the best songs on Mr. Bungle's California
Tove Lo (from Stockholm, Sweden)
an opinion about the new Califone album
a hand-washing song (20 seconds of music)
one of the ways Robert Plant pronounces the word "Darlene"

They're going to do two full hours on Warren staffers getting Holocaust tattoos.

Pretty sure the podcast is going to be dedicated to talking shit about Warren for the next 4 years

nah they'll mainly stick to their broader favorite target for abuse, PMCs

Pretty sure the podcast is going to be dedicated to talking shit about Warren for the next 4 years

oh they get class consciousness alright

Like 4 million Americans are gonna die from CoronaVirus and people are lining up today to make sure people can’t afford vaccines

Warren has a plan to turn the houses of old coronavirus victims into gif trauma shelters

just now catching a sense that this show has more or less peaked in terms of cultural relevance.

Media mentions, sure. Cultural relevance? Debatable.

their patreon subs keep rising.

https://graphtreon.com/creator/chapotraphouse

?? says it's down 100k and 20k patrons compared to Oct 2019 unless I'm reading that wrong

nevermind, the All tab is weird for some reason

either way that's nuts

hey comrades, how many millions of $ were we supposed to give to wealthy white brooklynites before we start saving all the marginalized and at risk ppl again? i forgot..

as if I have ever subscribed to this patreon

Don't look at me, I steal it

I hear it when my gf listens to it and she sure as hell isn't paying for it

maybe it's just all the live shows lately, them tying the show so closely to Bernie's political fortunes, and just the growing sense that some kinda *moment* is currently unfolding that's gonna create a new before and after...but I find myself a little exhausted with them and I'm projecting that outward. then again maybe a Biden nomination will re-invigorate their sense of purpose.

Though also that's kind of a bullshit line, it's five bucks a month and they routinely signal boost worthy causes to donate to and/or they just straight up fundraise for xps

from a $ pov I feel like biden getting the nom and then losing to trump is the best thing that could happen to them

they will be unbearably butthurt when Bernie doesn't win the nom tho obv

Also unlike most other pods they have no upper tiers w silly rewards

If they ever took action against the black wolf feed I would def stop listening tho

pretty sure they've said they don't care abt the black wolf feed?

lol @ thraeds upmiss

Ben Dixon got a tenfold increase in podcast patrons after he dropped that Bloomberg clip on Twitter, so I’m guessing hitting mainstream attention drives this

hey comrades, how many millions of $ were we supposed to give to wealthy white brooklynites before we start saving all the marginalized and at risk ppl again? i forgot..

*is actually Warren die hards

Also, I want more ppl making good money, not fewer.

I think it’s nice when someone makes a decent living and no one has to be exploited. Hell I don’t even know if I can say that, though the separation is several degrees #rationalizations

I'm black wolf too but the wealthy white brooklynites thing is dumb as hell - Will and Felix openly acknowledge their economic privilege, Amber and Matt came from working or middle-class backgrounds, Virgil was apparently so wealthy he graduated from college with six figures of debt

Biden getting the nomination and winning would be the best thing for them

oh hey

Here is a trailer to my and @nkulw's new show, Blowback, about the Iraq War. Comes out next week. thanks pic.twitter.com/3ZSzu5mkdz
