Chapo Trap House and the rise of the dirtbag left

Not losing as badly as expected being hailed as a great victory was one of the funnier Chapo eras.

pyrrhic moral victory

Chapo weren't the only one's calling labor's loss a victory.

I don't recall the mood on the pod being terribly exultant?

I remember them being extremely exultant.

Ebullient at best

Treating it as a moral victory and being encouraged by it in 2017 - fine.

Calling it an actual victory, in the year of our lord 2021 - absolute blithering fuckin shit for brains

it was a minor victory in its context but that context is never coming back

not sure these guys get why either of those things are true but that makes them no worse than large parts of the UK left

I don't recall the mood on the pod being terribly exultant?

sorry I thought we were talking about 2020 because they visited to campaign, and I was confuzzled

so virgil is absolutely never coming back

have they said anything?

when he wasn't on the anniversary show I was wondering

no which makes it extra weird. not showing up for that was the tell i think. awkward when the guests would mention him

do amber next

I tried listening to some podcast episodes from Virgil’s new gig, and idk, there are some moments but I kept rolling my eyes

it's unlistenable

From the outside it just seems like an exercise in continuing primary campaign beefs and that sounds boring.

xp. bernie dead-ending podcast really seems unappealing, even if someone less lame than virgil was the host

I always thought Virgil was the worst Chapo. Amber never bothered me nearly as much. And yeah, his current thing with BJG is petty and resentful.

OG3 was always the best chemistry, not sure why they kept fucking with the formula

Yelled at for all being white dudes + lazy. Easier to split the “work” five ways.

Good bit if Virgil and Amber are still getting 20% Patreon cuts for no-show podcasting jobs.

Felix and Virgil should unexpectedly bring back the Carl Diggler podcast in 2023

For some reason when I think of the Diggler podcast it's just the 2,000 Year Old Man bit with Virgil as Carl Reiner and Felix as Mel Brooks

taking on ticketmaster, this always goes well

my god adam mckay brings out the worst in them

Producer Chris is starting a podcast/music festival co-op

I mean, anything is worth a shot when it comes to supporting musicians and venues I guess

New premium with Jacob Bacharach v funny and v mean but still oddly touching

Shoulda made it a free ep. good content to share w non-listeners

Hunter and Joe are the farce to W and HW’s tragedy, including the fall of a favored older son.

Blowback is good and fun.

I mean, yknow, "fun"

It was funny watching people on Twitter get mad at Slate for stealing the idea of doing a podcast about the Iraq War from Blowback. Imagine if there had been two books about the Iraq War!

I saw more people getting mad at the framing (poor poor CIA just got tricked!).

don't think i am physically able to finish listening to the Jake Tapper article.

unfortunate that these dudes ran with the kamala's book given to refugees story that was completely false

it's been sad seeing some online leftists eagerly spreading right-wing disinfo about Dems (see also the "Biden Loves Wall" story whose only source was the Washington Times). am I right that the sole source for the Harris story was Breaking911? embarrassing

beyond foreign policy the chapos mostly haven't been very strongly anti biden so far

melts

They’ve ceded the reliving the primaries forever lane to Bad Faith.

I've never engaged in the slightest with these cunts since they seemed to think using disablist slurs was so so edgy, bunch of fucking arseholes

in our country, calling someone a cunt is insane misogyny so idk

that is a bad equivalence seeing as women use it just as much as men over here whereas the disablist word is unequivocally ugly everywhere, and with all due respect .. fuck your country.

fair

sorry if I was a bit brusque mh, but I thought you were about to start a "let's do lawyer-routine on the r-word" challenge.

Cmon now guys. Fuck all countries.

yep

Ok then maybe dont use it on a board American women post on, asshole

Giving you ‘asshole’ as preferred alternative btw

Not british enough. “Wanker” is a really funny and good one imo.
