Are people seriously linking chapo trap house here? They're even banned on reddit for extremism.
- sudosysgen 5y agoNo, they're not. The subreddit was, at the same time as the Trump subreddit, in a transparent attempt to do a bothsidesism and limit PR damage to . The cited extremist content were related to John Brown being justified, etc... Generally the subreddit was to the left of Chapo, and there was a signficant amount of distance between the two, with the sub and the podcasters roasting each other every so often. FWIW I originally learnt about Chapo Trap House on this website, a year and half ago or so. They're obviously a podcast so not as accurate as written publications, but as long as you take their bias into account they're not so bad. To substanitate the podcast not being banned, check out r/blackwolffeed which discusses the podcast (unlike the eponymous subreddit), and you will see that it is in fact not banned from Reddit.
- anemoiac 5y agoWhat’s extreme about them? Does being outside the American Overton Window automatically make one an extremist?
- Dma54rhs 5y agoI'm not an American but these delusional kids wave with Soviet Union flags, so someone who has lived and family members killed under the banner they very much are extremists.
