The Chapo Guide to Revolution: A Manifesto Against Logic, Facts, and Reason

As a reporter, I obtained a galley of this book and was transported back to the glory days when "journalists spent the coke-fueled 1980s living the dream." I received great advice on how to become part of the "perpetually insecure floating labor reserve of Digi-News," including 1) Get a Good Twitter Avatar, 2) Get a Good Twitter Bio, 3) Write Good Tweets, 4) Regale the crowd with the latest memes and hot takes that every already knows, and 5) Good Journalism: Find some time to do this. While they're certainly not centrists, the writers shred both liberals and conservatives. Conservatives who read the book might just come to the realization that their goal of freedom has evolved to champion "the freedom to dominate anyone deemed lower than you." For liberals, reading this book is like a restaurant experience where your meal (liberalism) gets lodged in your throat and someone (Chapo Trap House) steps in and performs a Heimlich maneuver (this book) on you. Expelled and covered in mucus, that meal will never look appetizing again. My favorite part of the book was Matt Christman's reminiscence of the populist right during the Bush years: "Support for obscene military spending and imperial bloodletting satisfied a deep psychic need among neutered and demoralized American men." The writers' "Jobs you will probably have" section was also one of my favorite parts, where one of the jobs, "Bio Bag," adds new meaning to the term "sell yourself." While the writers are critical of both sides of the mainstream debate in America, and mine both liberals and conservatives for some pretty great humor, South Park nihilists they are not. The book ends with some real prescription for change, which both liberals and conservatives need to hear. I would recommend the Chapo Guide to Revolution as one of the best books on politics, media and culture that you're likely to find any time soon.

This book is probably written by flamboyant smug writers that write in white they snort in endless lines of ridiculous yet true accounts of cocaine use. Coca leaves coca tea kinda like the coffee 90% of Americans are addicted to. Nice logic when Ulysses s grant probably railed lines with 50$ bills and coca cola had cocaine as an ingredient I believe dr pepper as well.

Trite nonsense that you have to be absolutely ensconced in Capitalist luxury to have the privilege to consider. The subtitle is absolutely true. There is no logic or reason here and like all commie IQ deficients, the authors have the luxury to consider facts to be the problem.
