Media Roots with Abby & Robbie Martin is good, although they have some "light" truther sentiments between them, Robbie especiialy. Still completely worth your while, though, if you can separate the ice cream from the bullshit. I also watch Sam Seder's Majority Report vids that go up during the day, but mainly Michael Brooks' Show that's linked to the Majority Report YouTube Page has a lot of good stuff. Michael Brooks is defitely one to follow in the coming yeas. I'm not a Michael Brooks Show subscriber on his Patreon yet but I really wanna be. There's one show he has to do with the crushing of Manley's Socialism in Jamaica that I was intensely interested in... This is Hell! Isn't necessarily War Nerd-adjacent per se, but it's a great compliment to it.

Speaking of RNW-adjacent, Yasha Levine is trying to crowdfund a documentary about the pistachio business in California, how it contributes to the perennial droughts that affect the state, the vast amounts of money invested in the business, and even how the farmers guide US foreign policy against Iran (Iran also grows a lot of pistachios). There's some clips posted already, including some amazing top-tier bootlicking by Stephen Colbert. quote:At the center of Pistachio Wars are two Beverly Hills billionaires — Stewart and Lynda Resnick.

Loud & Clear on Sputnik has one host that's a communist and another that's a former CIA officer who was imprisoned for whistle blowing about the Bush torture program. It's two hours long daily, so I rarely listen to all of it, but for the headline story it tends to be pretty good. It's more focused on recent news than an in-depth history program. A lot of the common guests have been War Nerd, like Tim Shorrok and Max Blumenthal. It's a lot more on the tankie end of the spectrum, but if you're looking for a more consistent version of the "World of Wars" segment it's good. dinoputz posted:Media Roots with Abby & Robbie Martin is good, although they have some "light" truther sentiments between them, Robbie especiialy.

Abby Martin's Empire Files hasn't been updating much recently because US sanctions on Venezuela cut off a lot of funding, but it's got some good stuff in there. http://theempirefiles.tv/

Any good humor (political or otehrwise) casts you guys recommend? Bolsonaro is gearing up to take charge of my country and I need a bit of a mood-lifter. Chapo and War Nerd are great but hard to obtain, and well, sometimes they can be quite gloomy (with good reason).

They're 'political' but mostly talk about kratom, wrestling, and how small business owners are poo poo heads.

yeah Ames mentions his website too. Music's good, and I understand why they're so appreciative of Brenden given how much it sucks to edit your own podcast every episode

The Somalia interview reminds me that it really feels like Voice of America and RFERL are the only US outlets that have reporters in conflict areas the US is involved in anymore. The U.S. Agency for Global Media (apparently they changed their name from the Broadcasting Board of Governors this summer) must be the only place hiring foreign corespondents. Foreign correspondents don't contribute enough to media companies' profits, but they're still important for propaganda.

being a “war correspondent” usually means living at the expat hotel all week and transcribing government sources.

"Yellow Vests" are exactly why issues-oriented politics don't really work. If all you're doing is acting against a particular policy or agenda, then you end up being an empty vessel that anybody can just project their own worldview into. If you're an American Nazi then the Yellow Vests are true Frenchmen resisting left wing green gas taxes, and if you're a Ukrainian Nazi then it's Russian active measures to destabilize Macron and get Le Pen elected.

Imperfect as such inchoate protest movements might be they have been some of the only occasions in recent years that put millions of bodies into the streets and actually seemed to energize people rather than enervate them. OWS was a pretty disappointing wet fart in terms of achieving anything immediate but yielded some long term gains for organized groups who were able to capitalize on some of that energy before it dissipated.

OWS was also explicitly leftist, and had services set up for people to get an ideological education. when issue protests fail or achieve their goals, everybody demobilizes and goes back to their normal lifestyles.

Asked this in dnd and no one seemed interested in answering in the Eastern europe thread for some reason, so does anyone have a good resource for reading up on the extreme right/neo nazis entering the Ukrainian government, military and police?
