Root Cause | Chapo Trap House | Episode 568 FULL 

If you look closely you can see that he had his fingers crossed behind his back

Did he say that in this ep? I don't remember that

@@TheNerdHerd1000 To that effect. He said, as he's said elsewhere before, that he's given up on electoral politics but holds out some hope for labor unions. He's excited about this round of strikes. I get his point, but TBH, if one were to make a systematic search for viable openings for revolution, labor unions would be the last place I would look. I mean, the AFL-CIO endorsed Biden. Beyond just the historically low participation rates. I'm just making the counter point that giving up on government is a pipe dream. That's kind of what the whole neoliberal sheep herding exercise is about, abandoning the premise of government altogether in favor of the institutions the oligarchs control directly. Which, sad to say, now includes the all the big union federations. Government, at least in theory, is open to all birth right citizens. I'm from Wisconsin. The Madison Uprising and all that, of 2011. That was a big show, too. Ended up changing not one thing.

It's all politics. No escaping politics.

@@robertfreitag687 well put. I listen at work so I just forgot about that segment

@@robertfreitag687 yeah I was a member of the UFCW for 20 years and we kept electing the same tool over and over. Pretty sad.

Judeo, not Christian :)

I am neither and still have my foreskin, so yeah it must be.

It seems to have been treated as medically superior during much of the twentieth century in the US and some other countries. Circumcision is also a tradition in various African tribes.

@@patrickholt2270 I did not know this. Pretty interesting to read the history

It only matters if you live in a desert.

Worked in a warehouse and none of our engineers could tie their own shoes, let alone run a squeeze or a walkie rider. Their skill set was in telling us how to do our jobs better, not in being able to do those jobs.

@@freakyzed8467 I'm not sure why you need engineers in a warehouse? Maybe that's the issue? You're missing the point here though, engineers don't own the means of production, so they should be just as critical to union efforts. Unless you just want a world without engineers?

@@X_TheHuntsman_X our engineers were there to do time studies and try and improve processes. I am fine with them being part of union efforts, but my point is they often don't know much about the actual work involved.

Absolutely! By the way the heroic "My final signoff" and "Jay Inslee can kiss my ass" Washington trooper who retired over his refusal on the vaccine mandate died three months after saying that. Of COVID. True story. He sure showed them. Hilarious. Dead just three months into his retirement. Age just 51. Washington State Trooper Robert LaMay. Look it up.

They shouldn’t. I don’t like when online leftist influencer ppl talk about drama.

No. They won’t and their fans will continue pretending like it’s just “drama”.

My kneejerk assumption is that they're suing each other.

They made a statement on Patreon months ago. Is anything new going on?

I feel like everything that needs to be said has already been said en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgil honestly what more do you need to know

Not as cringe as your comment. Ffs try living in the real world some time
