If the 2008 election was the end of Old America, there was a years-long process of reality unwinding into fever dream logic that we called the Bush administration.

Well yeah, I think Felix has said a lot that in the Bush years the right-wing had won everything and it still wasn't adequate for them. Despite returning institutional power back to a focus on war and god, the feeling of the country didn't go back to that of the supposed golden age of the 50's, or even to the Reagan era; it was still new and unfamiliar territory.

So between their old leadership facing disillusionment and challenges from Libertarians and later the Tea Party, and the Dems having their expected second Clinton admin beaten by a new branding surge favoring Obama, it seems like a significant point of discontinuity.

And then of course the financial crisis, which is what they were really talking about on the episode.

I want to like WTYP but they take the tried and true formula of "one person who knows the subject and one person to make jokes now and then" and add in twelve more people who all have to take their crack at landing a joke after everything the straight man says. and also none of the jokes are jokes so much as just yelling into a tin can mic.

Paying 2 bucks to get the Protestantism episode was worth it.

It's so good.

Some thoughts about today's episode. It's foolish to think that the Bolivia's Coup government ever had a job to make new "fair" elections

And two I think Felix has a good point about 2007/8 being the end of "Old America" but I'm not sure how much of that is his own nostalgia to be in his teens to early 20s again l

Not a fan of Amber's weird take about how the Israelis brutalize the Palestinians because the Palestinians are weak, not because the Palestinians are an existential threat.

I'm down for criticizing anarchists, but her analysis of Portland was trash and led to that weird comparison.

Also, Derek Davison is still too close to the Blob to be able to speak plainly about stuff like Latin America coups. If he says something too anti-imperialist a gelatinous organism will hunt him down and absorb him.

The most frustrating thing about the takes-not-arguments thing is that I'm not listening to 5 hours of cushbomb or whatever it is to see if she has a point or not. Lady bring some receipts if you're gonna be making such claims.

I don't know her point made sense to me I that if they could reliably be stopped they wouldn't treat them the way they, it's why they spent the Cold War doing everything they can to make resistence impossible, with three crushing of the Second infantata I thunk you could see they assume the West Bank is secured and weakened enough to be cowed by Israeli oppression. In the sane way we think we can bomb an Iranian general because we think they vanity really touch us. But I could be wrong in setting it that way. Killer federal Agents wouldn't disappear activists on the street if they knew they'd be fought back against seriously. The idea, as I view it is the security services are bullies and like all bullies they go after people they feel can't fight back.

Ahh that makes more sense about Davison at least cause I thought that was pretty naive for him to say

But she presumably must have listened to some of it to have reached that view, unless the world is more cynical and grim that I thought and the takes are just reproducing themselves without soil, so why not mention the specific bits she's referring to?

Fun fact, I like Christman, but if pressed I could make a pretty compelling argument that he's a strasserist racist performative egoistic nasty prick, it would mean taking stuff out of context sometimes sure, and it wouldn't be true, but he legit says some dumb poo poo it could easily be done, this bitch is jumping to the conclusion without building the case and no? gently caress off? What kind of authoritarian piece of poo poo is she that she expects people to just take her baseless claim as writ?
