Pener Kropoopkin posted: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. That hasn't happened so far in France, and Hell for that matter the February Revolution in Russia was triggered by protests (or the suppression of protests if you prefer) over food prices. I'm not saying your concern has no basis but I'm not sure people get the luxury of picking or choosing what sparks a revolutionary uprising, and more often than not the inciting incident is seemingly some kind of local grievance that explodes.

The Bellingdog tweet is explicitly making fun of Bana, but during the election there were untold number of idiot liberal pundits posting tweets about obviously preciously fake things their dumb kids said about Trump.

Here's some decent reporters that I follow on Ukraine. Christopher Miller at RFE/RL writes for a literal US propaganda network but seems to be pretty realistic when covering Ukraine, here's an article about C-14, the fascist street militia that gets government funds. https://www.rferl.org/a/ukrainian-militia-behind-brutal-romany-attacks-getting-state-funds/29290844.html Max Blumenthal got woke when he learned the Truth About Syria and has been critically covering the US role in Syria, Ukraine, and Nicaragua since then. He looks mostly at the US role in Ukraine. https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/04/07/the-us-is-arming-and-assisting-neo-nazis-in-ukraine-while-congress-debates-prohibition/ Electronic Intifada is about news related to the Palestinian struggle, but their coverage of Isreal's increasing ties to fascists in Europe touches on Ukraine occasionally. https://electronicintifada.net/content/israel-arming-neo-nazis-ukraine/24876

just flicking through quickly, there’s a lot of good ones. hezbollah eps with Amal saad, Iran war scenarios, the sci fi and fascism ep is a classic, interviews with William Hogeland are great early American history, Carl Zha’s uigher eps, eps 123 and 124 are just a crazy story and a great peek into Rojava pick something that sounds interesting and it probably is Spime Wrangler has issued a correction as of 06:14 on Dec 15, 2018 |

Here's a list of some of the episodes I've really enjoyed: Episode 29 - Nagorno-Karabakh war (bad sound quality but really good episode, pdf version of the book they used for this ep is available here.) Episode 40 - Ethiopia-Eritrea War Episode 51 - the Red Scare and in particular an overview of the 1980s paranoid right-wing novel "The Spike" which both Dolan and Ames were once unironic fans of Episode 63 - Interview with William Hogeland discussing the Whiskey Rebellion Episode 76 - Interview with the late Robert Parry, one of the last great American journalists, broke very important stories on Iran Contra Episode 91 - Recovered History with William Hogeland, focuses on his book "Autumn of the Black Snake" which describes the incidents leading to the creation of the US army, including arguably the worst defeat ever suffered by American military forces (at the expense of a now largely forgotten native uprising) Episode 117 - fascinating history of the MEK in Iran Episode 118 - Really good interview with Joshua Landis about Afrin Episode 147 - Really good interview with Isa Blumi about Yemen and great power / local rivalries in the middle east

Also throwing in a vote for Episode 106, which has the History of Byzantium guy talking about that very topic in a war nerd context. They tease a 7th century Islamic conquests episode which I really hope they do one day.
