the chapo boys repeatedly told us nothing was going to happen

      Lol. They pull in 6 figures a head at the end of the day, and in NY that's not obscene. Y'all complain about the weirdest shit.

        Complaining about their Patreon haul is a pastime from the old subreddit. After the recent drama, let's just bask in the nostalgia of this one.

        They make so much money they are basically left-wing grifters. If you donate to these wealthy media personalities you are a cuck

          You can't be a grifter of you sell a product that's been advertised honestly. That's not a grift. You can't be a media personality if you have no fucking advertisements, no corporate providers. Getting pissy about success reeks of insecurity. And the cuck thing is weird, go back to the Donald with that shit.

            the chapo guys are definitely grifters like any other political commentator. just because you like them doesn't make them less bad. they are businessmen at the end of the day, if they weren't, then why do continue asking for more patreon donations despite having more than enough to live comfortably on?

                You can make the same argument about Alex Jones and Ben Shapiro. They are working just as hard - if not more - than the chapo guys

                  I'll worry when they start selling me vitamins. Sorry no one wants to listen to your podcast bro.

                    it's funny watching you guys justify donating to people who earn six figures talking about politics twice a week and participating in upward wealth redistribution

                        virtually everyone who donates to the chapo patreon earns less than the average chapo host

                        upward wealth redistribution with an ironic leftist theme

                        They don't run this site and I'm not donating to them, don't change the subject m8

                        Chapo Trap House is a left-wing grift and the hosts are profiting from leftist doomer rhetoric

      I know the gulf of influence and actual importance between the person I'm about to name drop and the Chapo hosts is of several orders of magnitude and will probably be pretty cringe, but:

      Wasn't Kropotkin a literal Prince.

      Point is that class traitors in the Left's favor are kind of a good thing, no?

        They weren’t born podcasters. This may sound like royalty apologia, but A: you can’t change who you’re born to, and B: he got exiled anyways
