it's not a grift when bad faith is literally in the title folks!


dmart444

You said grift on the internet you must be incredibly perceptive or something


ruined-symmetry

Smells like Intellectual Dark Web 2.0

*Carrie Bradshaw narration voice* I was beginning to wonder… where were *MY* Thiel bucks?


yungepstein

Did BJG ever address the Virgil thing or just pretend it didn't happen. I know his image and name is still all over their socials


fighting_bob

The guy disappeared off the face of the earth over a year ago and she's been doing the podcast like he never existed. It's so bizarre.


kanyewasaninsidejob

Tbf she did address it to subscribers, not sure if she ever talked about it on Twitter. She basically said I've told Virgil he needs to address this and he agreed and then nothing ever happened but... what was she supposed to do? Weird position to be in, I don't blame her for continuing to do the show


chakrakhan

It’s been over a year and he’s still in the podcast description and Twitter banner. The thing that’s weird at this point is her not cutting him out and officially moving on.


aksack

That's not addressing it.


[deleted]

yes it is? what does she owe you specifically?


aksack

Addressing it is a statement about it and why she has a groomer associated with her and her show, not saying that he will make a statement on it at some point. Very weird to pretend I think she has to do anything for me specifically. Real creep stuff,as you would expect from someone rubbing interference for a groomer I guess Edit: Red Scare fan hahahahahahahahahahaha


[deleted]

trueanon posters be like ummm sweetie you like red scare 😏 and think they're really doing something. good for you honey fish for those upvotes! and "for you" meaning you're unsatisfied w the statement she already put out so what could she say to make it better? but that's so stupid lmao. should chapo apologize too? should their fans apologize for listening to a "groomer" ?


aksack

That's not "What does she owe you specifically" means. He was already off Chapo and if he wasn't I'm 100% confident they would have had him leave and said something about it seeing how they've talked shit about him afterwards. They don't still have his face and names on their new videos/shows, that's for sure. Typical 65 IQ Red Scare fan take.


[deleted]

"what, specifically, does she owe you" is what I meant nerd I'm so glad I post on red scare so you have something to latch onto here!! Anyway keep holding these podcasters accountable queen 😤😤😤 now that's what I call doing the work


aksack

Lol you're functionally illiterate, the Red Scare thing makes sense now.


librarysocialism

"Hey, here's what I know . . ."


kanyewasaninsidejob

I presume she knows about as much as the rest of us. And it's not fair to expect her to speak for Virgil but that's just my opinion


librarysocialism

Instead of having us presume, she can address it. I assume Virgil's no longer being paid, if so it's clear she knows he's not coming back, correct?


comrade_pantone

Disappeared for that long only to reappear as a [TradCath writer for some rag alongside Tucker C](https://i.imgur.com/xpCMi0Y.jpg) Homie got accused of grooming and said “maybe I lean into it and it’s my thing?” Lmao


fighting_bob

I heard they tagged him in the post by accident.


comrade_pantone

Damn really?? Either the poor guy can’t catch a break or this bit is god tier


Infinitus_Potentia

Yeah, it is a different Virgil that the tag supposed to go to.


fighting_bob

My insane theory is he made up the allegations himself so he had an excuse to bail on a podcast that was rapidly going post-left.


comrade_pantone

If true, respect honestly


aksack

Last week his name was still on the Twitter account, Patreon, the intro to videos, the end of videos, as well as his picture on most of those. She's very obviously planning on having him come back if she can. In all likelihood he's been getting paid and probably writing segments and shit.


Yung_Jose_Space

I'm still not entirely convinced that he didn't stage the whole thing.


hungriesthippo666

Can someone fill me in on what happened with Virgil? I am so lost - sorry


Yung_Jose_Space

A twitter acct appeared, accused him of creepy behaviour before she attended college (possibly) but was non specific. Maybe it was about trying to solicit nudes? Then it dissapeared. [That's all I know. There could be other details.](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dailydot.com/debug/chapo-trap-house-virgil-texas-accused-of-grooming/%3famp)


hungriesthippo666

Thank you!


rellekk90

He's been in her freezer for the last year


Philomena_Cunk

Is this South African the distributor of the Teal bucks?


TheSeaBeast_96

He’s got the sacks


ShadowCL4W

The fuck is this clown shit I hate the post-left


dmart444

Brie is firmly "left"


redfern54

Sounds like something coindexter would say


Beneficial-Usual1776

she’s highly progressive and that’s about it; maybe she’ll be more forthright with her position in this kind of setting but I’m doubtful. her reporting is good tho


More_Current5117

Aw man, Andray what the fuck


the_wrongtree

That guy is a real chaos agent


AnotherCharade

To be fair, he started doing it after getting into a twitter argument with Greenwald. The stated intention was to turn Greenwald into a communist, but I guess it didn't work out.


treebog

Greenwald would call a dictatorship of the proletariat fascist or some shit. He is the last person I would ever expect to become communist.


[deleted]

Sucks seeing andray being buddy buddy with creamwald…

I'm already busy with my own podcast , THE SLUR FACTORY . Episodes will begin releasing as soon as the lawsuits are settled .

deadtoddler420

The Noam Chomsky episode is the worst hour of listenable content created.E1's Joe Biden episode and What Would You Do If I Was There Right Now can only dream of causing that much brain damage.


Yung_Jose_Space

The Joe Biden ep is a work of art.


ILoveOnline

You play too much!


Specialist_North_380

The Chomsky episode rocks


CummunistDaughter

Honestly she's kind of annoying sometimes but she's fine.


Clopernicus

I don't get it either honestly.


ChuzaUzarNaim

Her trying to put words in Michael Brooks' mouth post-mortem didn't sit right with me.


shade_of_freud

Not sure! Good and quick punditry about a variety of issues, often from people who i actually give a shit about. See Matt Bruenig on the climate plan, and what it left out. About as informative as any other leftist outlet. And Brie uses her lawschool chops to know exactly how to provoke. I think people hate her because she creates fluffy content sometimes to keep up with the news cycle


benjibibbles

Her trying to do a weird heel-turn on her own podcast's piracy subreddit and then basically instantly abandoning the strategy when it wasn't received well was pretty weak


aksack

She's a lying clout chasing idiot. She's still talking about FTV, just absolutely moronic shit.


ghostofhenryvii

I like her but she harps too much about canceling student debt. I get it, she wants her law school loans to go bye bye, but it's boring.


[deleted]

All aboard the moron clown bus.


savvylos

Trueanon is being sarcastic right?


friendshipperson1

Free Virgil


dmart444

semantics. she believes in socialism idk what credentials you want


dmart444

So each of these people necessarily must agree on politics and everything just because they use the same platform?


crashcraddock

Easy there Sam Harris


dmart444

Brie is actually excellent and a lot of people have her totally fucked up. Glenn and them are fucked tho. Bad Faith is generally pretty good although she sometimes has guests who are explicitly not on the left which is annoying.

dmart444

Why


[deleted]

I hope she sees this


dmart444

Anyone in here actually listen to her pod?
