Sweeney Odd feat. Osita Nwanevu | Chapo Trap House 

The whole schizophrenic pastiche that is this new contrarian right movement is entirely informed by little dark age and sigma male edits.

Conservatives increasingly just becoming antisocial weirdos is kind of fascinating.

The spirituality African tweet is so... I don't even know man. It's peak Internet poisoning.

The new yorker piece is going to give me an aneurysm we're so cooked our democratic leaders are so delusional

50:36 When I see it I call it “Christianity without rules.” Or at least, no rules for you. It’s a completely mutated form of Protestantism where you get all the holier than thou, puritanical views of evangelicals, but only so you can impose them on other people. You yourself don’t have to make any sacrifices or abstain from anything for your “faith”

I'd put South Park ahead of Richard Dawkins when it comes to secularizing conservative politics

If I wasn’t gay I’d think Sydney Sweeney was so hot

I’m just gonna say it… I think Sydney Sweeney is pretty

can't wait for matt's return

First and gay

First straight ? Second, at least.

Can't wait for the State of the Mumbles

OSITA! great guest, love him

It is such a gross political move to say in a speech “there must be a ceasefire in Gaza,” & then immediately AFTER the explosive applause begin, to follow that up with “For 6 weeks… Which is what is currently on the table.” Like, get people riled up & excited that you finally said it & then INSANTLY undercut that by revealing that actually all you mean is the same momentary “pause” that you’ve been advocating all along, because it’s meaningless & doesn’t actually stop Israel’s genocide. In fact, if anything, it’s probably ideal for Israel, because (a) a 6-week “ceasefire” doesn’t mean they stop the blockade, which is what’s actually primarily threatening lives on the scale of MILLIONS, (b) it gives the US time to build this pier they’re talking about, which I posit is not intended for aid at all, but as a way to ferry the Palestinian Arab population of Gaza OUT in order to aid the ethnic cleansing process & enable Israel to seize all of Gaza without the bad PR of, you know, literally killing the majority of a 2-3 million person population… So (c) from the US empire perspective it’s optimal- they get to claim they’re calling for a ceasefire to appease the liberals in America & globally. They get to further appease them by claiming they’re building the pier for humanitarian purposes/to get aid in… While in reality they’re just minimizing the amount of blood on Israel’s hands that they won’t have any kind of plausible deniability for. They get to set Israel up to force the Palestinians out (in a way that the U.S. can present to the world as them trying to help refugees flee rather than starve, while the U.S. never even tried to stop Israel from maintaining the blockade that is starving/dehydrating them to death, or from bombing them, or from destroying their essential infrastructure early on in the invasion, so the idea of presenting that as helping- as if the Palestinians WANTED to leave their homes & hand over their remaining land to Israel- is disgusting & profoundly dishonest, hypocritical, & propagandistic)… All of this is perfectly in keeping with the MO of Israel’s decades of ethnic cleansing, & yet people are still acting like there’s no way Israel would try to land-grab any more of Gaza- even as they blow up Palestinian homes to create a “buffer zone” openly & cross every “red line” the Biden admin play-acts at laying down (clearly without any intention of actually acting on those feigned threats). It could not be more obvious that they’re corralling the Palestinians of Gaza into an area that just so happens to have (a) the Egyptian crossing & (b) water access where the US is proposing to build a pier that would enable them to be removed from Gaza even without Egypt opening their crossing… It could not be more blatant what they’re doing unless they were just saying openly “WE ARE TRYING TO PUSH THEM OUT & MAKE LIFE UNLIVABLE SO THEY EITHER DIE OR HAVE TO LEAVE.” I mean, when Israeli Knesset members were literally tweeting “Nakba 2024” wtf do people think that meant? They weren’t much more subtle than that.

Sounds like Jeff Goldblum asking "what has Nixon ever done for me"

Isn't Jesus without the church just being protestant?

26:15 Osita called what happened with Kamala

Bring Amber back!

WTF is that cover image from?

Biden 2024!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Lets go!!!!!!

“tried to overthrow the government” lmao. you talking about that thing the FBI did on jan 6?

what a lot of waffle…this guy just strung words together brought nothing new to the table. This was a dud. Biden will tun and win.

I know they paid for the intro like 10 years ago but how long were there slay bells in trap music? They have the Hella fast snare, why are there slay bells in the intro?

*Chapter guide to revolution:* Step 1: write a book Step 2: collect book royalties Step 3: have a Rachel Maddow alla contrapoints valence on your podcast. Step 4: collect patreon money Step 5: we can't do a revolution! I'm too well established in the status quo. Step 6: Ben Shapiro is so cringe... Let's talk about him for the next 12 years! Etc

I'd have such a crush on Sydney Sweeney....if I wasnt gay.

Gay man reporting in

"This is about saving democracy and no you don't have a choice" 😂 It's like domestic nation-building.

That’s the most on-point and helpful summation of our current situation I’ve encountered in months. Thanks. I just read Osnos’s New Yorker piece today. Very happy to get the feedback on that and the rest of it. Thanks.

political scientists often talk about a sun party and a moon party in this paper i present the theory of the incel party and the volcel party wherein the

Nwanevu's analysis of the contemporary Right starting around 32:00 is fascinating

Worst decision of my life? Breaking up with Sydney to play twister with my sister

Was felix even on this episode? He talked like twice throughouy the full thing

Too Gay for Sydney 😂

I'm gay.

Please bring Ron Klain back into the White House! We should have voted Ron Klain in the Primaries instead of uncommitted.

Fawning over Sydney Sweeney is gay now? Why? Is she a football fan or something gay like that?

Good one

Just a minute, I´m getting some cigarettes

I have always loved that you can't see the Che t-shirt that the grim reaper is wearing.
