Not much to offer in the way of solutions, but that’s the world we live in as oligarchies are becoming monopolies and we approach the singularity of capitalism. At least these guys find some humor in it all. Dim-witteds will say this podcast is a played out trope of nihilist masculine, leftist politics.. but I’d love to find out where else this is actually being played out. Everywhere else I look is full of cosmopolitan, bourgeois neoliberalism. Keep up the struggle.
Chapo Trap House endures. As well ask men what they think of stone. Chapo was always here. Before man was, Chapo waited for him. The ultimate podcast awaiting its ultimate listener. That is the way it was and will be.
In the absence of Matt Christman, this show has taken on new, amazing directions. It’s inspiring to hear two adult men struggle through their dyslexia for an hour—special needs children around the world have something to aspire to!
I found the podcast to be juvenile and nihilistic. The hosts are insufferable and every time I listened to an episode I would come out feeling terrible. It comes across as bleak gallows humor that mocks the world being terrible while not offering a way forward.
I’ve found leftist podcasts out there that can poke fun at our broken system while still encouraging listeners to fight on every front. This is not one of them.
My favorite episodes are the movie mindset ones, especially reversal of fortune.
Some episodes are kinda mid but for the most part its a good podcast. The guy with the lisp is the funniest one. Amber says “ummm” a lot, every third word is “ummm.”
Felix has a cat name.
Just writing this cuz i saw someone say you only listen to this if you think things like hitting cyclists with your car is funny. Here to say that as a cyclist i think hitting cyclists with your car is in fact very funny.
Sometimes, I drink mountain dew code red. The Pepsi co changed it to “Mtn” Dew now, which makes me very confused. It is delicious too, fwiw.

What more is there to say. 2020 is over. The enthusiasm is gone. The world has changed. Maybe it’s just me but all I get from this show now is an unbearable urge to move on with my life.
Used to be funny. Now they carry water for the decrepit empire, which is funny in a different way. Anyway, proof of concept that commies can make a buck.
I’ve listened to y’all off and on for years and I remembered why I’m off. Insurance companies for prison. Sure. Elizabeth Holmes for prison your iffy about? Really? That NYT article got to your feels.
Norman is a radical treasure! Going places the “radical left” dare not go in the imperial core, and in the periphery. Critical of the ‘60s left movement’s betrayal of the millennial left movement, with honesty and humor. Kudos to the Chapos snagging this gem.
