[@DrOstentorious]

I appreciate the Chapo Boys paying homage to Matt Christman during the early days of the show by having Jacob speak through a pringles can.

[@UseZapCannon]

How do people who are practically podcast guests for a living always call in with the worst built-in laptop mic on earth

[@bengozzy408]

I share your frustration. However, spirits are instantly lifted by enabling closed captions and beholding the incoherence. tml

[@chantingzhang]

Basically, what Jonathan is saying is: How DARE they exceed the limits of controlled opposition! How DARE they express outrage on an event that deserves outrage, just as the massacre of civilian with our funding and our weapons!

[@nasty_jazz]

Jacob rocking the two cellphones on speaker pointed at each other to call in for this ep

[@ericherde1]

“If you pretend that this thing is actually a completely different thing, then it’s bad!”

[@subversivelysurreal3645]

Free Palestine 🇵🇸, Damn it!

[@idicula1979]

It’s only fair and the humane thing to do, rather then stand with Israel and prejudice against Muslim. Ironically it’s history repeating itself as the world stood by to Nazi aggression and their much needed “ living space” how is Israel not doing them same thing kicking Palestinians of the land for a further occupation and new “ settlers and their living space”. Both time the world stood quit, hell the world has failed to recognize the dozens of mass genocides which took place under EUROPEAN COLONILISM, including what Russia does what China does and what ISREAL does for the sake of political expediency. Making it clear that a blind justice in escaped principle, and it is only all to human that justice is determined by where we stand and an individuals all to myopic reality.

[@CMike44]

Nice to hear Jacob is recording on a Nokia Ngage that's across the room from him

[@alexjohnson9798]

Fuck I thought that was Matt for a second

[@joshuamarx8209]

Lmao

[@commenter381]

He's calling from Matt's old tin can

[@boknowsbaseball]

the only reason i still check in on chapo from time to time is to see if matt is back. i feel bad for will. felix just does not have the talent to carry as much of the show as he's being asked to.

[@SixBeark]

If protestors create shell companies before the protests, does it count as lobbying?

[@MJH-kr4zg]

Chait truly was an OG in regards to complaining about the left being “anti free speech.” He needs to drop a diss column on Bari Weiss and all the other people who ripped off his shtick. It would be better than any rap feud and give Chapo great material.

[@thuzan117]

Biden should just challenge protestors to push up contests, problem solved.

[@caseysev7111]

hell yeah brother

[@PirateZ1]

This show often becomes a competition of who has the worst microphone on the left

[@quadabyte8933]

More echo on the microphone, please. I could almost understand every other word.

[@alanhorton7300]

Chait always looks so gormless.

[@GreenEarth20]

Was your guest recording in a locker room with a cup + string microphone?

[@dethkon]

Bad Wi-Fi in the ANTEEFA bunker

[@rod653]

audio only podcast has shitty audio

[@Theologica_]

It’s based TAFS does it too.

[@Obiwancolenobi]

​@@Theologica_ RIP stav

[@nicoruppert4207]

It's called lefteist audio quality for a reason

[@Obiwancolenobi]

@@nicoruppert4207 they need to keep it accessible to the mouth breathers who think push to talk is too much to ask for in a discord server

[@toadvine7952]

The CIA found that shitty audio decreases engagement and excitement on the left by 34%.

[@speculawyer]

Get the guest a mic if you platform them.

[@absinthe_apostle]

Yeah jesus‌ I had to turn off

[@grapes9h5]

Been waiting for this!!!!

[@DatPiffy]

How can you destroy if you never built?

[@SolosSpirit]

YO I need a christman update. Like, please?

[@feydrautha012]

I'll give you a like, because you asked nicely.

[@MrDeadInMyPocket]

Matt's doing better. I know that because a few episodes ago Felix took a few light potshots at him.

[@karlisgertmanis]

chait with another banger. man has limitless potential.

[@MitchMcCall-bd4ul]

How is it a banger? Palestine and Israel is at war so now Democrat campaign drives need to be tipped into chaos because the Palestinians started a war they don't have a prayer of winning? Chapo is 110% on the wrong side of this issue mainly because it's not an American issue to begin with!

[@rynolord2308]

12:44 the United States treatment of who? I couldn’t understand. 800+ eps and I still am rewinding shit to understand much love

[@wizardpatch9405]

In a world where Jamie Raskin can't complain about Trump for ten minutes on the Rachel Maddow Show.....

[@feydrautha012]

I'm sure they'll revive the daily two minutes of hate (well, all waking hours instead of 2 minutes) should the gibbering mouther get back into the White House. But the moment Trump launches some attack on Iran or China, the narrative will completely switch to "Trump has become President today."

[@wizardpatch9405]

Only one man has to courage to call him a cuck!

[@rapalbumdepot7648]

Next- on a very special episode of Chapo Trap house...

[@RedSaint83]

Trying to make sense of the poor audio quality of this podcast must be like what using a scrying mirror was like in the past.

[@bravojeark]

Long time chapo fans are immune to audio issues

[@feydrautha012]

Real Chapo fans get their podcast delivered by postman, throw the audio cylinder on the gramophone, and chortle and guffaw in the sitting room at the scratchy high-pitched recording with their fellows, even if it's 7 PM and they've got their sleeping cap on already.

[@jamesoneill1303]

It’s really bothering me that I can’t understand what Felix says at about 2:00 The guy comes up to the 23 year old and says “I’ve noticed you eat a lot of oatmeal” is that it?

[@MJH-kr4zg]

I think it’s a dig at how Chait allegedly has a reputation for being a creep to young women. I remember in another segment Felix said something about Chait asking younger women about “chokers.”

[@Oceanmachine27]

I think "bowl meals", like açaí bowls and such

[@brainbane8550]

This headline is my kink.

[@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax]

Jacob needs to update his tin can microphone.

[@brokentower3148]

this is the classic chapo experience

[@soulbeats135]

Chrese evans is at it again

[@SUPERBURLBOYROY]

Hi 👋

[@VulcanLogic]

Left Wing Authoritarianism is a bug. Right Wing Authoritarianism is a feature.

[@zehsackett6132]

Left wing people are baited into fascism through the appeal of economic authoritarianism and a sense of superiority. Then the state has total control over all of the food and resources and then the state casts the leftoids out. Similar to how shitlibs don't believe in liberty at all and side with the state at every turn. Fascists are unique because they're honest with themselves about who they really are and what they believe.

[@zehsackett6132]

@ItsNotUnusual-mp5qd The SA in germany was big on anti-capitalism and workers unions. The NAZIs even used "socialist workers party" in their name. The left wing people were basically thrown under the bus and blamed for all of the political violence when the NAZIs took over because the industrialists and militaristic political factions needed to be appeased.

[@zehsackett6132]

@ItsNotUnusual-mp5qd I don't know much about the soviet union's beginnings. Another example would be the progressive movement moving on from voting rights to prohibition. Or equal rights for gay couples becoming making every school make a 3rd bathroom under the threat of pulling federal funding.

[@talus9663]

Please get better mics for Christs sake.

[@user-np9sn4nk1i]

Jacob sounds like he's a war reporter calling in from Gaza

[@QUAKERSATTACKS97]

The podcast equivalent of the last season of a sitcom

[@mc5967]

Don't say that, it makes me sad to hear

[@dethkon]

Shut it down! Shut it down!!!!

this is frickin a awful recording wtf chapo sucks now

[@bermo6066]

Lol, this is still 800% clearer than every 2016 ep

[@brokentower3148]

Chapo is BACK!

[@DrizzleBeaches]

Black Passport Bros for Trump 👍🏿🇺🇸

[@glass_knuckles]

i hope you're not planning to vote by absentee ballot

[@just_a_turtle_chad]

I hope these guys don't take Iran's side

[@ericherde1]

Every decent person should take the “side” of a country protecting the security of its embassy.

[@augustgurtisen]

What's Iran's side?

[@CMike44]

I think you should articulate to us what you think Iran's side is

[@MrMollusk7]

Does Iran have the right to defend itself?

[@Alias_Fakename]

Uncritical support for Iran in their defense against Israeli incursion.

[@danchristensen439]

i hope you folks will be happy in trumps upcoming administration... you're working so hard for it

[@jackalope07]

The democratic party is working so hard for it by running a man so old he remembers the continents drifting

[@ananousous]

And yet no one can say there's anyone out there who's worked harder for it than Biden has.

[@MrMollusk7]

Dems are funding a genocide and you're worried podcasts are what will cost them the election 🤡

[@Alias_Fakename]

Just stop defending Israel and people will vote for you.

[@T61APL89]

then get biden to strike down the fililbuster, to spend some of the billions on housing instead of bombs 4 bibi, to codify roe v wade and campaign for ethic regulations in the scotus

[@joshmccollen700]

Classic Chapo. Shit on the Democratic Party and then complain how they're not welcome.

[@AoE2Replays]

You think they were welcome in the first place? lmao, you think ANYONE, is truly welcome in the democratic party, besides lip service. You think its a matter of "being nice"?

[@SirDennisReynolds]

Yeah that’s totally why they’re not welcome, has nothing to do with the Democrats being centrists and right wingers on 95% of policy

[@kylewolf740]

Being a voter who affects party policy with your vote is a privilege you have to earn young man

[@joshuamarx8209]

Classic debate pervert pablum. Shit on anything that suggests the Right and the Good™ is utter bullshit.

[@cat_city2009]

The left was never welcome in the Democratic Party.

[@SlickSimulacrum]

"Left Wing Authoritarians" Hello oxymoron, how are you doing today?

[@henrylicious]

Statism is authoritarian by definition.

[@DOOMPotatoable]

Leftism is about destroying hierarchy, not authority. You can be authoritarian without being hierarchical by setting up bureaucratic systems that are not organized to benefit any particular person, but does force everyone to live according to strict rules.

[@joshuamarx8209]

​@@henryliciousI have great news for you pal..

[@promark5317]

Youre really trying to say the left wing cannot be authoritarian?

[@promark5317]

@@jfeuwhgsf8326bydfh its funny because the actual authoritarians are the neocons and neoliberals, both if which arent the left. I have no idea what point the OP was making. It doesnt make sense in multiple ways.
