Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

Why does literally every leftist podcast have some sort of familial connection to the defense establishment

Could be that when you spend a trillion a year on the Pentagon, plus state and municipal police, plus a ton of overlap in the tech and energy sectors, its just hard to escape.

I think it's just because fascist countries tend to have lots of families connected to the military.

Bro, thought I was gonna read a long, interesting but super depressing story about actual, psychological insanity but instead I hear a depressing fact about the western "left".

Chapo's connections to the Cocaine Intelligence Unit have been known for years

Was just a joke, because CTH made it their official logo (not a joke)

CTH logo

A patch created by employees of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) "Cocaine Intelligence Unit". The patch depicts the grim reaper with a scythe, an hourglass, and a bomb in a field of snow. The image was later repurposed as the logo of the American political podcast Chapo Trap House.

Wait that's the real patch? I always though chapos made it for lulz.

It’s real, and the other DEA patches are debatably better than the Coke one some are kinda dumb and too busy like these ones
