    lmao the chapo hosts have nothing remotely like a unifying ideology. Matt is the most history-minded and so would probably align more closely with with true anon than the rest of the chapos. Felix and Virgil never make any ideological commitments so it's impossible to tell what they really think outside of quirky social commentary. Will is an effective media critic but has no confidence outside of his wheel house of mocking neocons as the inhuman monsters they are. Amber is a social democrat who seems intent on reliving the calamity of the second international.

      Exactly. Plus Liz and Brace actually read theory, and have interacted with the working class (and been working class). Unlike the Chapo hosts who read the NYTimes and despise poor people.

      I have no idea if either Liz or Brace are full on ML's or whatever, but they both make references to Lenin pretty regularly on their show. And they seem sincere, unlike the caked in layers of irony takes the chapos make.

      Really? Brace and Liz are smart, driven, MLs, who know theory and understand its relevance to society. The Chapo hosts make jokes, think they're smart, but have little understanding of theory or society.

    We're in fuckin 1320 motherfucker. You are a serf. Bitch, you live in Alsace. You are a peasant. You need to give your fuckin' lord the grain. Your fucking children, you've had 15 children. You've never taken a bath. You've literally never. washed. your. penis. You've never used toilet paper. Motherfucker, you have worms. You are dying. You've had 40 children, 3 of them are alive. 2 of them are child soldiers in the Duke's army.

    Bitch, the greatest thing you can hope for is to die at the old age of 36. You fucking can't read. You don't know what TV is. If you were transported into today, you would be the worst gamer of all time. You don't know shit. You literally probably don't even know what the direction 'left' is. I'm sure some Medieval guy is gonna get mad at me for this, bitch I've been to the Renaissance Fair. I've eaten a large turkey wing, which the Juggalos call 'bitch beaters', which I think is problematic but a funny thing to call them.

    Motherfucker, you gotta recognize where you are, and then you gotta get passed that. You gotta be unemotional. You can't sink into this hole. You live in the oubliette. Your job is to crawl up the ladder, motherfucker. You live in the HOLE. You're in the HOLE. You are a RAT. And the rat, when he's in the hole gets fucked. People only throw trash in the hole.

    You need to eat a body. And you need to carry the plague. And you need to carry a plague around this whole world, that will change this whole fuckin world. And all your enemies will vomit black bile and will choke on blood and will grow boils and die. But only if you get together with your other RATS. And you come up with some kind of super plague, to fuckin end your enemies and...

    End. This. Nightmare.
