radio war nerd did an episode on the taiping rebellion didn't they? i feel like i have a very strong sense memory of hearing the name "hong xiuquan" dozens and dozens of times, while listening to a podcast. and not the most recent chapo episode!!!

searched in the patreon and the taiping rebellion was episode 74, recorded in the forgotten era of 2017. i think it was the first ep carl zha was on. it is 2 and a half hours long

I followed them on Instagram after their push on Chapo a few years ago and I finally undid that this year because all their programming looks really annoying

Weren't they involved in that one lady who did the strange vaccine video

It was kind of entertaining as a sort of exercise in making things look gross with make-up/costumes, but it's not clear to me how it connected to socialism

every time carl goes on war nerd they manage to record for three full hours which is why they really need to go ahead and do a full 10 part series on the chinese civil war together

Book Details
The complete story of the victories and failures of millennial socialism, as told by the writer who witnessed it all firsthand.

Amber A’Lee Frost came to New York City as a working class activist in a punk band, arriving just before the start of Occupy Wall Street—the first major event in decades for a socialist movement that was nearly extinct at the turn of the century. She's been at the vanguard of radical politics ever since, as a writer, veteran member of the Democratic Socialists of America, and cohost of the wildly popular Chapo Trap House podcast. She has reported on millennial activism everywhere from the sunny streets of Havana, to the Labour Party’s unexpected victory in the UK, to small towns in her home state of Indiana.

Dirtbag is a much-anticipated debut from one of the greatest emerging writers in modern socialism. This memoir is more than Frost’s story; it is also the story of the only movement that has a chance to reshape our world. Both are chock-full of momentary triumphs, stupid decisions, new international friendships and rivalries, struggle, joy, setbacks, and heartbreak. Both are related with magnetic prose, remarkable candor, and unflappable humor.

Throughout it all, Frost burned the candle at both ends. She kissed a man in the rain at a train stop after he sang her “The Internationale,” and gave herself hangovers that left her begging for death. But all of the late nights, heated debates, and joyous camaraderie was set against the unmistakable sense that somehow, socialism was winning.

Does chapo make enough money to buy enough amber book copies to make her a new your times best seller?

The publisher really thought that was going to an Important book about the rise of Corbyn and Sanders. It was going to be a political classic like that Hunter Thompson book.
