>a book for a podcast run by tankie numales
>new york times bestseller

It was written by bespectacled beards who would instantly get assaulted and robbed, possibly even murdered, if they walked into an actual trap house, who call themselves Chapo Trap House ironically. Which would not be so bad, since let's say it's not so bad if I take the name Ancient Roman Emperor despite my imminent crucifixion in that period, but then you remember these same white dudes also think they have any kind of solidarity with or somehow stand up for trap house residents and it becomes cringe again.

>>14202167
A tremendously skilled scam to deprive left-wing trash of their money and put it snugly into a few con artists' pockets.

As literature, total failure in its core premise, though.

I can't rake these guys seriously because of the way they look, but also how their voices sound, which sound exactly how one would imagine bearded numales to talk.

These things matter.

>>14203094
no do they dont
their tones and actions do
theyre literal petit bourgeoisie living in fucking NYC writing for neo liberal rags

>>14203103
90% of 'progressives' and 'leftists' are petit bourgeoisie, how have you not realized this yet? It's mere in-group social signalling, to show one's calibre and education, and any 'moral' aspect is maybe a bit of compensating or repressed guilt over their privilege at BEST.

>complaining that commies are engaging in capitalism in 2019

well yea...just because you oppose something doesn't mean you barred from participating in it, gotta pay rent somehow

>>14203181
most people on welfare and poor have socialist views on domestic policy, they either dont vote or vote against the lesser of two evils or they outright cant vote because they were arrested on drug possession, if those neo-liberal dipshits simply got rid of the "war" on drugs, millions of potential voters would magically exist

>>14203205
funny how the only person willing to actually be on welfare is that skank who writes awful books

>>14203205
Sure, but reveling in it's worst aspects isn't a good look.

>It’s her first-ever book party, and Rachel Rabbit White — the poet, writer, sex-work legend, activist, and ex–Times Square stripper — is all dolled up. I’ve never seen her otherwise, online or off. Tonight her brunette hair is blown out, curled, and piled on top of her head, held up by two rhinestone clips that spell out “ANGEL DUST.” Five-foot-two, the same height as Kim Kardashian and Debbie Harry in flat feet, she prefers to go out in six-inch Lucite platform “Pleasers,” the most popular exotic-dancer heel in the world. For the event, they’re coated with cobalt-blue glitter to match her monochromatic outfit: a marabou-feather strapless bustier and skintight, high-waisted disco pants with a gleam that catches the light. The title of her first full-length book of poems doubles as the party’s dress code: Porn Carnival.

>“I’ve overdone it a little with fillers and Botox this past year. Lately I’m trying to look more like a regular Bratz doll,” she explains matter-of-factly. “Or as someone called me online, ‘a haunted Megan Fox Bratz doll.’” Before the party, she’d posted an Instagram Story saying she bought angel dust and wine for the event’s after-party, instead of spending the money on fillers, “bc I care about COMMUNITY.”
>Puffing on a Juul to stave off pre-event jitters, Rabbit White purrs, “I became a poet because I was experiencing ego death from sugaring too much.” (Sugaring is the verb form of “sugar baby.”)
>A woman dressed as a “slutty milkmaid” says she doesn’t know Rabbit White personally but she’s in a union with one of the other readers. Her friend pipes up, “We’re going to overthrow capitalism. Although the form to sign up is kind of complicated.” Someone else nods, “I’m a dumb Marxist bitch."
>“I just saw the Chapo guys over there.” I had in fact just come from attempting to talk to Chapo Trap House host Will Menaker, but he’d answered five different questions the same way: “I need to ask my girlfriend.” Soon enough, the girlfriend, Katherine Krueger, joins us, having heard from Will that her insights were needed. (She and Rabbit White have a podcast of their own in vitro. Working titles: Disassocialism or Eyes Wide Sluts. “Our group chat is called ‘untitled socialite project,’” says Krueger. “We want to have Cat Marnell’s ex-PCP dealer on.”)
>The transcendent moment, in my opinion, is her reading, lilted out in her husky voice, of three lines from a poem that reduced the audience to screams: “I would rather die than work / I would rather die than work / I would rather die than work.”

>>14203630
I don't know how to react to this

>Chapo trap house

I don’t know what this phrase means. From lurking here, I gather that this is the title of some left-wing podcast?

I don’t see what they could base a guid to revolution on. What was the last successful revolution you could point to and learn lessons from?

>>14203865
They plan on revolutionizing society through the welfare state and telling the chuds to show their hogs

cum town is so much fucking better than this tankie garbage
at least the puerto rican rattlesnakes are self aware about their profound disconnect from actual working-class america, and in nick's case, he actually had real-life experience living like shit and experiencing some level of poverty before the pod took off.

Socialism with an anti-nationalist attitude is kinda hard to pull off.

>>14204310
Lefty e-celebs are even worse than poltards, just face it.

>>14202167
They couldn't decide if they were writing for their fans or people who've never listened to the podcast. The result is that fans are going to be bored reading shit they've already heard on the podcast and nonfans are confused by all the injokes.

>>14202167
I looked it over in a bookstore and was surprised by how similar it seemed to Sam Hyde's "book." Same obnoxious postironic self-hating hipster beardo crap, different political position.

>>14204419

Did OP post the wrong book or what am I missing here?

>>14204817
It's true. I bet the chapo lads are better read than 99% of the people here whose experience of political philosophy consists of the first 5 books of Republic and the first 2 sections of BG&E

>a "guide"
>to revolution
>written by born to wealth yid pseudo-hipsters who have never ridden a horse, fired a gun, climbed stairs without panting, missed a meal, or -- wait for it --
>had anything to do with the violent overthrow of any government

>>14204800
>thought leaders

>>14202167
Don't these guys say that there is no such thing as "Cultural Marxism" (y'know, the non-violent revolutionary subversion of society)? Isn't this book them admitting that Cultural Marxism exists and they are it?

>>14203630
>I need to ask my girlfriend

Ah, a fellow member of the shart left! We're not like these liberal chuds on MSNBC, let me tell ya. We say the f-word (as in "fuck," not "faggot," which is deeply offensive and upsetting) and know which movies came out in 2003. Don't think we're pals just because you're a woke dipshit also, kiddo. Have you even smoked weed out of a soda can? Also, here are my thoughts on the Turkish economy. Did I impress you with my effortless blend of highbrow and lowbrow? Bet you didn't think a man who owns a gaming chair could pretend to know about the complexities of Middle East, did you? Heh. Well, shart ya later

>>14204912

It's you who is "cringe", you disgusting basement dwelling dweeb.
>urbanite
As opposed to whom? Most writers and thinkers lived in major cities. The vast majority of people here (who are most certainly not writers or thinkers of any note) live in a city or a suburb. Hicks may be "based and redpilled" because they're racist or whatever, but they're still as dumb as a brick.

>“Left Hand of Darkness. It’s a sexy book.” Ripley furrows their brow, “I don’t think anyone really liked it! I never come for the book.” (Later, when I ask Rabbit White about the literary commitment of the book club, she throws up her hands, “I didn’t mean to throw an orgy, I truly just wanted to read more…but everyone wanted to do the orgy.”)

They get paid $100k a month. Why do they not record video of their podcasts?

Any recommendations for these faggots or should I just jump in and pic a random episode.

Will reading this give me insight into what these guys are about? I know people irl who listen to their podcast - from the couple podcasts I've listened to they are insufferable Jews with a chip on their shoulder.
