I pretty much only listen to CTH, TrueAnon and the Cushvlog on the basis that I need to bear witness to political conversations that I mostly agree with for my own sanity and somehow I've fallen behind on all three

TrueAnon's latest episode on Biden is very good and is worth listening to asap if you're unfortunate enough to have liberals around that you have to talk to

I'd say about 75% historical, though they've been doing more current events stuff lately. If you want to hear two hours of the details of battles in China, India, and the Middle East from a thousand years ago told by someone with a thick accent on a bad phone connection bookended by two guys with California accents complaining about cheap hotels, persistent maladies, and authoritarian immigration officials, it's the podcast for you.

Perpetual failsons and The Exile/Pando alum Mark Ames and John Dolan talk about their daily challenges (getting locked inside of a bathroom in Italy, getting denied entry into India, accidentally staying across the street from Irish nationalists erecting effigies in broad daylight, etc.) as well as historical wars and modern wars. They have a few dozen free episodes available, but they're kind of difficult to find.

Knowing your background and your analysis of what happened in South America during the Obama years, RWN will be good company.

He's a Twitch streamer, but isn't on Twitch because he got completely banned for getting mad at a pro-imperialism article and saying Israel should be bombed into glass.

Streaming is a different kind of eceleb than podcasting or making Youtube videos, it's more debatey and you have to defend your positions a lot more than short form stuff where being energetically entertaining without worrying about pushback is rewarded. He has a few bad takes but is generally pretty sound and has a decent, and growing, audience he's coherently presenting lefty ideas to.

He seems to make idiots really irrationally mad and I honestly don't know why.

I don't think its an existential crisis, maybe more a good or bad psychosis that if we just distinquish between the Good and the Bad obnoxiously enough then Good will win, by magic.

You're right it's definitely an expression of powerlessness though. If achieving anything feels impossible then revelling in dumb moralistic aestheticism is understandable, especially if it's also really easy.
