It would rule but, while I'm a fan of Ames and Taibbi and Dolan, I do think it would get metabolized as sexism and nobody who knows those stories would relish getting into it. Like I personally think it's a good outweighing the bad situation and the smears have been pretty cynical, but it's not like that "easy" angle isn't there.

Personally I most people would find any accurate portrayal of post-communist Russia to be completely unbelievable.

Can't even remember the last time I've been able to do this, but they just reposted another episode for free. https://www.patreon.com/posts/radio-war-nerd-26939754 In light of recent events they put up the episode where they speculate on Iran war scenarios.

i dunno, I'm way behind on the newsletters. I mean I listened to it when it came out so I don't have to listen again. It's just free to non-subscribers.

Anyway it's interesting to me that people who view the world as a dichotomy between good & evil almost never re-examine the assumed "goodness" of capitalism and the nation-state.

Not gonna lie, I'm enjoying the 100 Years War stuff but I'm having trouble keeping track of the characters and narrative. I'm reading Surveillance Valley by Yasha Levine right now and it's pretty good and a light read. Like Ames said in the last episode, it shares a lot of the same institutions and projects as the Gene Sharp stuff. I cracked up today reading about how US generals devoted a surveillance team to following Pigasus, the Yippies' pet pig they declared a presidential nominee.

I hope they cover Pizarro vs. Atahualpa in the Incan episode because I read about it recently and it's loving nuts.

listening to the latest episode they entertain that iran was responsible for the tanker attacks as a way to say "don't mess with us" -- the location of the attacks being in the gulf of oman, outside the persian gulf, as a signal that tankers are vulnerable if they try to fill up at the UAE's eastern ports. idea being that the U.S. elite are crazy psychos and the IRGC feels the need to do this to frighten them offD.Ork Bimboolean posted:https://twitter.com/thinkprogress/status/1139827552057380864

Yeah I saw that. Never heard of the Washington Institute but knew immediately it was an AIPAC thing. The homegrown ones aren't dumb enough to just spell poo poo out like this on tape because it makes people and companies with roots here look bad.
