Xaris posted:that was virtually all LBJ. it wasn't until the gulf of tarkin that escalated it with large number of troops on the ground, This is just simply not true. JFK approved the invasion of 16,000 military "advisers," was the first president to approve Agent Orange and also gave the go ahead for the assassination of Diem. The JFK quotes about the CIA are true, and maybe there would have been no Tonkin level escalation if he had stayed in office, but all the evidence I've seen that JFK wanted to pull out of Vietnam has been flimsy at best.

Weird question but do any of the common leftist podcasts transcribe for deaf/hard of hearing people? Or is there software that does that?

Or is there software that does that? http://otter.ai can transcribe audio with uploading audio files and then you can download any format you want with some toggle options for timestamp/speakers/monologue version/etc.. free is i think 600 minutes a month with 3 uploads though. The grammar is going to a little whacky and goofy but it's good enough for keywords or following dialog. as far as something free, YouTube has built-in transcription that works almost as well, so if there's episodes posted to yotuube (which there almost always are) you can click the transcript button and copy;/paste it into a file. you may be able to pirate something like Dragon Natural Speaking which may have transcription options, no idea. but no nominally you won't find transcripts for 99% of podcasts. someone maintains a transcript vault of all the cushbomb vlogs which can be useful Xaris has issued a correction as of 01:13 on Apr 3, 2021 |

Citatians Needed is much more script oriented than most leftist podcasts, so they already have a transcript on hand as a byproduct of making the episode, but most leftist podcasts have a format of a group of people talking over each other trying to be funny. Not great for transcription.

Yeah accessibility of podcasts is actually a huge concern imo. Worse yet, the way this is being solved is with AI from companies like Google and Spotify, meaning you'll get locked into those platforms since there isn't a good, free alternative.

I listened to the Inward Empire series on Diem, and I was just really struck by how Diem didn't seem to be for anybody. He didn't represent the average Vietnamese person at all, and he wasn't even really representative of the Westernized collaborator class he was born into, being a weird ascetic volcel. I'd like to know more about the history of imperial powers installing incompetent out-of-touch weirdos as dictators, believing the whole while that they have an effective go-between from their own culture to the one they're exploiting.Dreylad posted:Oh he was corrupt as poo poo, chances are FDR's IRS task force was going to expose a lot of bad poo poo he and his followers had did if he had lived, but there's nothing Huey Long did that was exceptional compared to his political opponents other than make huge improvements in the lives of the poor of Louisiana and not play the game of respectability politics.

Dreylad posted:Someone needs to dig into Huey Long's assassination because there's some wild conspiracies out there. https://youtu.be/SRXnE_yrN40 This Unsolved Mysteries episode makes a pretty compelling case that someone in Long's bodyguard detail or with the state patrol shot him after Weiss got too close, and they framed Weiss rather than own up to it. As to whether the shooting was accidental, who knows. It's crazy that he gets painted as a fascist but other than just garden variety propaganda I attribute it to the fact that public opinion of Long - to the degree it exists at all - was heavily informed by works of fiction like It Can't Happen Here and All the King's Men. If you look at his actual career those caricatures are ridiculous on their face. Like, he filibustered the earliest iteration of the Social Security bill because it was going to leave it up to the states to decide who qualified, and he knew the other southern states would ice out black people from getting in the program. That's just one example. Dr. Killjoy posted:trying to remember where that HUAC transcript is where some government official alludes to having someone "taken care of like had been done to Huey Long" Someone posted it in the Epstein thread pretty early on iirc. It was definitely some shady wording about "finding a deranged person to take care of him as was done to Huey Long" or something similarly eyebrow-raising MeatwadIsGod has issued a correction as of 04:35 on Apr 3, 2021 |

Yeah, that would be a good kind of horizontal compilation, this kind of thing happened all over. The big wave of '60s decolonization happened really suddenly from the POV of the colonial powers and they often didn't have time to prepare a durable political system to replicate their power in their absence. You get some real weirdos put in charge who never would have been anywhere near power otherwise. Sometimes it's a "father of the nation" revolutionary type, sometimes an uninspiring bureaucrat like Diem and Milton Obote...and then sometimes you'd get a Macias Nguema.

Part of the reason why America's handling of Vietnam was so ham-handed/disjointed was that they were trying to convince France to give up "Indochina" as a literal imperial colony, even while at the same time they wanted to keep Vietnam from falling into communist hands (because they saw the Viet Minh, China, North Korea, and the USSR as one giant monolith). They couldn't be seen as backing France to the hilt, because helping an empire maintain its colonial holdings would be a bad look relative to Wilson and FDR's supposed legacy of decolonization and respect for self-rule by peoples (and as a counterpoint to Communist revolutionaries promising the same), but they didn't want to just have France pull out of Vietnam because the communists would take over and they didn't want that either. If anything, Dien Bien Phu was seen as a sort of "now I have been released from my chains!" moment for the US because now that South Vietnam was established as an ostensibly republican independent state, the US could back them all they want. Of course, before they got to that point, they had to actually find someone who was willing to step up to the plate, and Diem just happened to be the guy, even if it came with a lot of regrets and caveat emptor later on.
