    Chapo Trap House teaches people about good politics, yet they have a podcast. Gotcha! They claim to be leftists, yet they are have money. Owned! They criticize society, yet they participate in it. Curious! :very-intelligent:

      Its tiresome, because when you look at the times they were most involved - literally flying to England to block walk for Jeremy Corbyn, stumping for Sanders, posting up for various LA/NY City Council races, fund raising for Palestinians and Trans Activists and every other flavor of Leftist activist group - you can tell that they really want to do more. But they also get behind a lot of failed projects, and that can be demoralizing.

      Meanwhile, the out-and-out most politically active member of the group was Virgil. And an anonymous Twitter thread was all it took for his own fans to write him off as a shade worse than Jeffery Epstein.

      Sometimes it just feels like people bag on high profile leftists entirely because they haven't won yet. Oh, what's that? The Defund the Police Protests didn't bring in a new Bolshevik Government? Must be Will Menaker's fault for reviewing Bullworth.

      Lol kind of a cartoonish response when all I said was they're good but they're still media.
