CTH obviously didn’t do their research before the most recent Patreon ep. They’re legit upset that an “unarmed woman” was shot in the Capitol building.
She was shot while trying to climb through a window into the area where they were keeping the politicians. I get that calling this idiocy a coup is stupid, I get that it’s going to be used to crack down on leftist groups with increased surveillance. I get that the state is a much more significant threat than these dipshits, and I’m not happy that the state killed someone. But chapo had obviously not seen the video when they made this ep cause nobody in their right minds would think the state would just let someone waltz into a secured area housing some of the highest-ranking politicians in the country, armed or otherwise. I don’t see what else they would’ve expected to come out of that situation and trying to call police brutality or unjust state violence here seems misguided to me and ultimately futile.
Kinda feels like they’re just trying to distance themselves from the MSM narrative and are over-correcting a little bit
Edit to add that the guest was obviously downplaying the situation - saying that the woman was simply “standing near” a window and just happened to get shot. And he’s supposed to be the one who knows what’s going on... can’t tell if just uninformed or dishonest narrative peddling.
It’s time to move beyond Chapo. They served their purpose in the Bernie era and now they are out of touch rich shitheads that have no idea what they’re talking about half the time. Pure liberalism.
Any good pod recs to fill the hole? I’m a huge pod person and CTH is my most-listened to so I’ll need to find other stuff.

I’ve heard them mentioned a ton so I guess it’s finally time to check them out in-depth... thanks!
Rev Left Radio is fantastic. Breht interviews a lot of different types of lefties. It's actually funny to hear him interview hardcore third-worldists one week and then like a welfare guy the next week.
Not really a lefty pod, but Revolutions is an absolute banger to listen to. He just restarted, picking up Russia after pausing after the failures of 1905.
Thanks!

Unfortunately, I don’t really listen to podcasts. I’ve listened to a few podcasts that were one-offs or short lived but nothing to replace the chapo void (honestly I’ve probably listened to like less than ten total podcasts in my life, just not a huge podcast fan) so I don’t have any good suggestions, I am sorry 😞 chapo was my top listened to as well.
Haha no worries. I think I’m slowly starting to move more towards purer comedy pods - gradually taking the grill pill I guess
(in addition to those that others have mentioned) Moderate Rebels, Red Menace, The Dollop, Pod Damn America has been doing more episodes on theory lately, Eyes Left, What a Hell of a Way to Die, TrueAnon, Empire Files, Media Roots Radio
Love the Dollop. I’ll check the others out. Thanks!
