Please learn the concept of “then you don’t get to have it.” You are not entitled to consume it merely because it exists and is out of your reach. That’s some colonizer bullshit.

“It’s not available in my country! How am I supposed to watch it?”

You’re NOT supposed to watch it. It’s specifically not available to you.

“It’s an old show!”

I bet there’s a cassette tape on eBay or something. Or it’s lost to you. The impermanence of bourgeoisie Brooklyn podcast media.

“My parents won’t pay for it!”

So then you pay for it. The subscription is $5 a month.

“The Patreon is expensive!”

No it’s not. And Chapo Trap House is a luxury. You do not require it to survive and it is not inhumane to deny you access to it. You can also watch clips on YouTube for free with ads.

“I bought THE BOOK!” Cool. I bought the book because Virgil told me to. Buy access to the show too. It’s less expensive.

“But Cancel Culture takes from Amber and Will ruin the show!”

No it doesn’t, you’re just an asshole. How many times have you heard someone yell “YOLO!” or “YEET!” Or mention a meme in a localization? It’s done to make it accessible and relevant, not be transliteral. (BTW, next liberal blue check Witch coven meeting is at Matt Taibbi’s place)

    In all seriousness, are there actually people who think that you should buy copies of old stuff on ebay instead of downloading it? The creators and publishers make no money either way
