And Reason - The Chapo Guide to Revolution - A Manifesto Against Logic

Excited to receive the much anticipated CTH book. They provoke thoughts, challenge preconceptions, and have a point of view to back up the irony and the humor. Buy the book, revolt, repeat steps 1 & 2 until desired results are achieved. Check out Chapo FYM on Twitch also if you haven't already.

The book is so good I never even actually had to read it.

I simply left it open while I slept and the knowledge poured in. The chefs may have added a lil too much spice, as everyone else in my 300+ person apartment woke up to a similar effect.

Advice to the Authors: Add more spice.

They live in Central and South America. Capybaras like water and they can be found in swampy areas, near lakes, ponds, rivers…Number of capybaras dropped drastically few years ago due to uncontrolled hunt. Today, thanks to farming of capybaras, their number in the wild recovered.

Interesting Capybara Facts:
Fully grown capybara reaches 4 feet in length and weight of 140 pounds. Females are larger than males.
They have barrel-shaped body covered with brown wiry fur.
They are herbivores (eat plants). They graze grass and eat aquatic plants most of the night. They also eat fruit and bark of the tree.
Adult animal eats 8 pounds of grass per day.
Although they are not related to ruminants, capybaras regurgitate their food and chew it several times.
They also eat their own feces to provide bacteria that help in digestion of food.

Let's face it...Obama failed us, the dems failed us, voting has failed us...but like any good democratic operative we're pretty sure that next time, this time, we'll win by rocking our same old narratives even harder. After all, we've got all these logical arguments, facts, and reasons on our side.

But what if there was a better way? One that didn't seem to so often result in our collective bewilderment?

Take a deep breath, screw your courage to the sticking place, and for a few hours let go of the plans that have lead you to living in the dumbest of all timelines. Cause why not? What have logic, facts, and reason done for you anyway?

Felix the the coolest man I know. I watch him on the Twitch Chapo Team FYM stream and he and his squad are excellent performers who put the work in and get the job done. Sometimes he rages, but he is mostly a calm operator.

This is what we as a society need to take into our homes. Our founding fathers are inspired and would be proud of Felix & his book. It is funny and insightful in all the right ways for regular guys like me. Proud to be a purchaser of this book and display it on my coffee table. I hope Nick Mullen writes a book to put on the table next to this one. And don’t forget, Chapo let’s go.

No snark. Stop, before any more of you seriously review this book, let me save you some time. Don’t. Nobody cares. This isn’t a call-in talk radio show, we don’t need to receive your opinion. Nobody should be buying or reviewing this book on the store. Nor should anyone buy much of anything from the store. If you read this book and then you came here to review it and buy more crap from the richest man on earth, guess what, you missed the point, you’re too dumb to comprehend what your reading, and your opinion is obviously worthless. Sorry, someone had to tell you.

The Chapo Guide to Revolution is a scholarly work that synthesizes history, economic theory, philosophy, and phrenology to create a stunningly accurate take on where America has been, where it is now, and where it is going. Not since Joan Quigley's What Does Joan Say?: My Seven Years as White House Astrologer to Nancy and Ronald Reagan have we seen a masterwork that lifts the veil on geopolitics like The Chapo Guide has.

It's nice to have a political book that wasn't published just to help someone get elected to office.

The book is funny cover to cover, with lots of powerful information and political discourse as the setups to vicious and hard-earned punchlines. Definitely worth a read if you're a dirtbag leftist, and would also make a great gift for your loser gamer cousin who doesn't date and could go alt right at any moment. If for no other reason, consider buying this book to save your loser cousin's life, and the lives of the poor bastards that he goes to school with.

HOW DARE THE CH*** TRAP HOUSE GANG DO THIS TO OUR MEDIA AND POLITICS. SIRS, THE AMERICAN POLITICAL SYSTEM IS NOTHING TO JOKE ABOUT. ITS A PLACE FOR BIPARTISANSHIP AND CIVILITY, LIKE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S BASE, OR CLINTON SUPPORTERS! IF YOU LIKE SOCIALISM, LIVE IN VENEZUELA. OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I listened to the Audible version of the book, so I can't speak of the illustrations provided by Eli Valley, but this was spot-on, long-form Chapo. It's a tight, funny elaboration of their opinions and attitudes toward politics and pop culture.

I would have loved to hear contributions from Amber A'lee Frost because she's a gifted, insightful writer, but her absence is none of my damn business.

Anyone who's a fan of the podcast should enjoy it, and then tell their friends who love 'The West Wing' to buy a copy themselves. Do not lend this book to your friends; tell them they need to buy the book.

Buy the book.

I haven't even read it yet. I recommend you buy the book, despite not having answers to questions such as, "will I enjoy the themes or ideas presented?" or "are there illustrations contained inside that are pertinent to the content in some fashion?" or "will I grow as an individual after reading this?"*

I've even demanded this book to be purchased at the public library where I am gainfully employed. Of course, my co-worker affirmatively agreed; it was the only obvious choice.

Buy the book.

*the answer to these questions is "you'll only know if you buy the book."

Great for Chapo Fans, but more importantly, an excellent piece of reading to share with demoralized libs to introduce them to truly progressive, left politics. Plenty of inside jokes, but also accessible to people who've never heard an episode of CTH. The only complaint I have was Amber's lack of involvement; as I think her involvement in DSA and woman's perspective/unique take on feminism and identity politics is an excellent part of what makes Chapo great.

The pictures were good, especially the children's section with the connect the dots for the president's fuck-rod. Who am I kidding? You've seen the headline, if reading those words is like looking into a mirror (or you like incoherent screeching) buy the book.

Funny, smart, well written. I've heard people who say they can't stand the podcast (which I enjoy) say that the book is one of the best things they've read or heard (for the audio version). Buy the book. It's for everyone.

Seriously just buy the book, it is much more worth your money donating it to either political party or attending a crappy politiCON event. You don't need any logic, facts or reason to understand modern day turmoil.

So I torrented this book off of LibGen and the whole beginning is just a biography of the actor that played Big Bird, and I think to myself, 'This can't be right, I torrented the wrong book', but come to find out after purchasing a hardcover copy that this is actually the book.

Someone bought it for me so that was nice. Overall, I would have bought it otherwise. It's pretty hilarious and as a fan of the show I tend to agree with their point of views. I don't know if it's for people who aren't fans but I bet it has some outside reach for cynics and curious folk.

I've been listening to the Chapo podcast for a while now, and admittedly did not expect the book to be as great as it is. While it is not the definitive word on socialism and how we should be running society, it absolutely nails the points it presents and serves as a great introduction to progressive politics. The book is a hilarious way to see the horrifying and depressing injustices of the world, allowing for an easy dive into why progressiveness is needed, and why capitalism is evil. It takes serious and soul crushing topics and makes them into something you can laugh at while also being radicalized, a wonderful achievement. Buy the book.

As we know, Molly Bloom's soliloquy, perhaps the most famous stream of consciousness passage in literature, features a glaring absence of punctuation. The Chapo crew and their woke corporate ghostwriters try their hand at the technique (pg 136-137) with results that would flood poor Joyce's Irish eyes with tears of horror. Not the horror of the uncanny, of some abrupt rift in one's hopeful engagement in the world, perhaps more like being trapped in a hurricane of fecal matter. And indeed, that's the primary experience of this book, an unceasing assault against one's very person. Wyndham Lewis, in context one can see as was so often characteristic of his critiques half inveighed against and half praised 'Ulysses:'

"Ulysses will remain, eternally cathartic, a monument like a record diarrhea... he collected like a cistern in his youth the last stagnant pumpings of Victorian Anglo-Irish life. This he held steadfastly intact for fifteen years or more- then when the time was right, as it were, he discharged it, in a dense mass, to his eternal glory."

An artist storing up life, in all its wonderous emergences and strivings, in his bowels for a decade or two and then exploding it in sustained digestive inspiration has a materially transformative effect. With 'The Chapo Guide to Revolution' we're dealing with diametric opposition. Particulalry, one imagines, the bearded morbidly obese one of the group, they have scooped up everything lethargic and mercilessly boorish, pulsatingly insignificant, branded into the flesh the mark of hedonic automaton, have greedily ingested a thousand vague resentments and didn't even have the decency to restrict their monstruous bowel movement to the porta potty. Desperate to further cash in on the cultural hunger for ever more boistrous, empty demand making and grievance mongering, they put it in book form.

Marvel with the Chapo gang as your guide as they take you through history in an unforgettable tour. You'll learn: that because America had regional geopolitical interests, it's most unfair that the Khmer Rouge ended up in the 'Black Book of Communism.' Of course, were they time travelers the gang undoubtedly would have been right alongside Chomsky as he astral projected himself to the rice fields and returned declaring that all the troublesome little talk of genocide was bourgeois propaganda. It turned out there were just too many skulls to sweep under the rug and so the gang do the next best thing: if they can just spray enough liquid dung over those glimmering white skulls set against the green and brown forest, the hope is they'll be camouflaged. "But wurt about 'Amuricar?" Like a magic wand which absolves leftist ideological import of any responsibility.

And there you have the template for the tour: a clumsy romp of such hyper-manichean stupidity as to be breathtaking: incredulity that there actually existed compromisers leading up to and after the Civil War- the sentiment goes that every man, woman, and child should have been unswerving in their eagerness to ensure as immediately much bloodshed as possible, if only, of course, because the cause was so righteous. And hey, all those collectivization resisting kulaks and eastern european nationalists who resisted the iron curtain, heh heh, they got what was coming to them for not being on "the right side of history." Despite a laughable little bone toss to a "global order built on egalitarianism...that rejects violence and militarism in toto" our lovable gang of, effectively, social democrats, is as bloodthirsty as any vampirical neocon.

Not that I myself mind, necessarily. To be honest if this is representative, this drum poundingly tawdry book, of the future of "revolt," and here I'll interject again with Wyndham Lewis who captured its spirit preemptively and for all time better than anyone:

"Everything which can be called radical or rebel, or which palpably can receive that label, and reach its destination, excites him, in rather the same way that 'scarlet sin' and suggestions of Sodom or Lesbos, or worse, thrill the sex-snob, schoolboy, curate or spinster of stage tradition- the latter the authentic affinity of the revolutionary simpleton."

Yes, if this is the future, dear God, can we skip all of these mind destroyingly dull therapy sessions, the lazy squealing, the barrage of wine chugging influenced tweets, and just get to the war?
