Hey Robert, I like you reading it out loud and all, but I don't think I'd be alone in buying and reading your novel. Is there a way to? If not, you should change that. Let me give you my money.

I still like buying books. Even if the proceeds would then be donated to said charity. I like books. It will be cool to read this when it gets dropped.

rotinaj posted:What did Robert say that set you off It's not one thing in particular, it's going over the really bad episodes on Syria/Korea/etc., the dumb opinions on South America, realizing that all the episodes are about non-whtie dictators or right-wing grifters and you haven't seen a single episode about the Jakarta Method or the Dulles Brothers or things like that, etc. Also the Bellingcat conenction.

Robert expresses pro-intervention foreign policy ideas from time to time and some people view that as imperialist. It’s an easy discussion to get into. On the one hand *gestures at the history of US Imperialism* but on the other hand sometimes we have the opportunity and the ability to save the lives of innocent people and I am thankful everyday I don’t ever have to make those kinds of decisions. In general I think we should spend all our time and money on fixing the US and let the EU be the world police for a while but I really don’t think we’ll ever be in a position to do that, Biden seems like kind of a Warhawk TBH

we talk about Dulles in the third episode about the Congo I'm not sure how the two episodes about the School of the Americas and all the horrific crimes we committed in Latin America are imperialist, but go off I guess Most of our bastards have been white dudes. We've spent vastly more time talking about majority white fascists and right-wing extremists on our show than anything else. But if you're mostly angry because I said Bashar al-Assad is a monster who deserves to die in agony, then go gently caress yourself I guess. Travel to Syria. Talk to hundred and hundreds of victims of his regime. That's what I did.

I was actually being kind when not going into details. Edit: This is extremely evident when comparing with, say, the Bill Cosby episode, which actually does have info and research.

I had a few North Korean refugee friends when I lived in South Korea. North Korea defenders are a special kind of scumbag. I think I hate them more than any other type of tankie.

I'm not a tankie, I'm sure North Korea is a horrible dictatorship, the episode was still extremely racist and had no real information on the country or the people or the Kim family.

it's racist to talk about dictators without giving a complete history of Korea, got it. i apologize for the terrible racism in talking about Hitler without fully explaining the Holy Roman Empire, the Unification of Germany and the career of Otto Von Bismarck.

Well, it's pretty important when talking about a dictator to talk about how he maintains power and how he runs the country, instead of just repeating a bunch of stories about how gullible the North Korean people are to think he was really born of a volcano.

i suppose it's possible that robert's overflowing sympathy for the victims of authoritarianism and totalitarianism doesn't come across as clearly in that episode, but lol if you listen to more than that episode and presume he's making fun of the people.

No but you see, you're a tankie if you suggest that our military interventions have not been motivated by love of freedom and human rights, and that places like Iraq and Afghanistan aren't wonderlands of democracy and stability. Oh wait, no, I'm just a Western leftist, I cannot possibly understand.
