if virgil had to totally Log Off for his mental health, especially considering how invested he was in the primaries - it’s pretty lovely to hold that against him at this point. yeah he should have responded to people or w/e but it’s just cruel to keep harping on it after he’s been back for months

I’m assuming that is what happened, but i remember that he sent some kind of message to the other Chapo guys which pissed Matt off and I don’t think we ever found out what it was all about

He sent them a bit to play on the pod but they refused since he was incommunicado besides.

My understanding was that it was something along the lines of "Lol bernie burnz I was plant all the time get fukd AYABTU m8s <3 xxw33dl0rdBonerHitler42069"

This made Matt angry because xxw33dl0rdBonerHitler42069 is the password to his Robinhood and his Runescape accounts.

He sent some sort of audio he wanted to be played but they didn't play it because of some reason that you could speculate on if you want to be insane about your parasocial internet friends who don't know you exist, and heck, lots of people have

I like Brie and Virgil and dig the premise of putting her sincerity against his poisoned brain, but the panel part was boring. It might be because there's nothing interesting to analyze about why Biden's campaign sucks, so maybe other episodes will be fine.

I found it OK. It seems aimed at normies and getting them to accept the leftist frame on things by giving them a McGlaughin Group style talk show, which is something they can process.

That is a flat out lie. The Bernie campaign was extremely effective in funneling young idealistic leftist money into the Democratic party where it belongs. :colbert:

They aren't the poster was laughing at Matt V. Brady's tweet about ignoring "concerned friends" as just twitter followers when Virgil really did ignore messages from his friends for awhile. Obviously water under the bridge with the Chapos now but Matt's tweet was accurate.

Yeah that's kinda dickish since none of us know what he was dealing with, he doesn't owe anyone an explanation

Fox News made a major effort to call it "the Democrat party" instead of the actual name.

I think because "democratic" is seen as a good thing.

HAHA YEAH HE PEED IN HIS OWN MOUTH I'M GONNA KEEP BRINGING IT UP.

Now I know the last time this thread speculated on virgil's absence they were completely wrong but here is what I think is happening:

Virgil was siphoning funds from the concerned chapo crew when he was on radio silence, meanwhile he had started a second, fake podcast network that he was smooshing about plotting a media comeback in the new fascistic state of america. There are already a dozen episodes of that podcast out but you can only find it by doing an arg you find the clues for on his only fans (which is under a different name)

You see, Virgil all this time has actually been fighting a secret war against fascist billionaires by aligning himself with the shell apparatus of the bernie campaign. They are aligned with kobe bryant who is still alive and the Wachowskis sisters as they infiltrate secret cult orgies. They have discovered that the fashinaires are using the negative psychic energy of 2020 in a plot to raise thule and use it as leyline to begin the exterminationist plot as it is the only way to protect the remnants of capital in the great collapse.

So please don't make fun of virgil he is doing important work.

i believe it was specifically because according to frank luntz's polling, people respond more negatively to "democrat party" than "democratic party"
