I mean, if anything is going to make someone say "actually, gently caress this" wrt organizing, Conor Arpwel effectively suicide bombing a canvassing class for literally no other reason than personal vendetta seems pretty likely

e: to be clear, I generally find the whole "the left is just too crazy and drove me into the arms of the far right!" to be complete horseshit, which is why I find it funny that this may have actually happened for real because we live in an insane hellworld full of idiots fueled by death drive

no you had it right when you said it was complete horseshit

I finished this a few weeks ago and still think about how the guy who did it idolizes Ukrainian fascists.

while ICHH is decent, i got the creeps from his references to ukraine and syria so i read up on him. you get a feel for it don't you. when i realised he's a self-described anarchist suddenly his takes made more sense. he does another podcast called behind the bastards and he did a 2 parter on assad. highlights:

- he and the co-host (she describes herself as a feminist) tell the story of the syrian uprising and get almost everything wrong.
- co-host is an expert on syria but didn't know what the mukhabarat was until midway through the first episode lol
- she has nothing but praise for trump bombing the airfield last year because it means "they know we see them"
- obama overthought the situation, and at least george bush would have "done something"
- the US only gave the "moderate rebels" 3 dollars and a box of ammunition
- it's a shame iraq "scared us off" from "helping in situations like that"
- they conflate all the rebel groups with "the syrian people", so by default if you want to see the salafi psychos defeated you actually want all syrians genocided, and being against giving al qaeda air cover means you support "assadism"

I'm sure you get the gist. i asked him on twitter what the moral difference was between a chemical or barrel bomb attack and what the US did to raqqa and he got really cunty with me and said "you are seriously comparing cruise missiles to barrel bombs?"

i have no idea what he was trying to communicate there.

I've only listened to a few episodes but that one about the 2012 olympics with Ash Sarkar seemed enjoyable enough. well, after I looked up what "mawkish" meant anyway

This is a fair criticism but on the whole it was well reasoned and even handed

it's a patreon ep (sam pritchard iirc)


this will be my last girls chat post. both becauze it's a niche podcast, and because it's very twitter adjacent, as far as podcasts go

he spent all the money he made selling coke on coke and lived with me while my roommate went to California to do the lighting on new walmarts, then I think he was living on someone's couch, I haven't talked to him in like 10 years
