yeah it's nice he walked it back but he's gonna have a thousand more interviews with Alex Jones, Andy Ngo, Gavin McInnes et al. and he's gonna let them say whatever the gently caress they want and America's going to happily goose-step into murdering tens/hundreds of thousands of "Antifa" with his willing help. he might be well-meaning but he's an extremely useful idiot.

The only Chapo content I've been watching is Matt talking to Twitch chat and being confused by Twitch emotes. His talks on there are super good tho.

Are Mark Ames and John Dolan the only members of the Exile crew who haven't gone insane? As a follow-up question are they the only members of the Exile crew who've never had mainstream success?

The article was more "We tried UBI.... back when the 1950's housewife was a thing. That was a probably better life than the current life women have."

zegermans posted:America has already witnessed the largest UBI experiment known to history — the postwar middle-class housewife. And she was utterly miserable. the point was that not having anything to do is actually ruinous and isn't healthy that non-bullshit work, a purpose, in whatever form, is necessary for people to feel some sense of satisfaction with their life. that if people don't have non-bullshit work, they will make up bullshit work so they can pretend they have something to do that you can try hedonism but it will just eventually drive you to guzzling wine and pounding quaaludes. it doesn't have to be lifting heavy things, but it does have to be something other than polishing the loving silverware

They work well as a pair, can take or leave the panel discussions. new ep was better but it was still too electoralism/normie focused for my tastes. i miss him on chapo and i think it's going to be an even rarer appearance if he even appears at all

And she was utterly miserable. quote:The negative income tax has been proposed as an effective, straightforward weapon for the eradication of poverty. It is in truth a complex instrument, and its use may lead to unintended and undesirable side effects. In particular, a negative income tax may tend to induce inflation, reduce measured gross national product, and lower the measured rate of growth of the economy. As the induced inflation works its way through the economy, the real disposable income of families with quite modest incomes will decline and the net benefits to the intended beneficiaries will be eroded. quote:The liberal’s War on Poverty was born out of neoclassical theory in which it is the poor—not the economy—that is to blame for poverty. The War on Poverty tried to change the poor, not the economy.

Listened to the Grover Furr episode on historic.ly. He may be going a bit overboard with exonerating Stalin, especially when it comes to purges, but in other cases like with the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and pre-war Poland I think his correctives are right. You also just have to admire the brass balls on the guy. The host on that podcast is a little weird. Her diction is strange, she seems nervous which I do empathize with but also asks weird questions. On the subject of collectivization she framed the question something like "my impression is that it was about taking land from big land owners and freeing serfs, is that right?" And Furr began his answer with "No, unfortunately that's very inaccurate".

You also just have to admire the brass balls on the guy. Furr getting as bad a reputation that he has is largely an ideological smear. Once I actually started reading his work instead of just relying on second-hand accounts about him being some kind of insane Stalin apologist his research holds up and his arguments are well-founded.
