Prince Myshkin posted:Bitter Winter is the blog of the founder of Eastern Lightning, a Christian fundamentalist cult responsible for at least one murder. Certain people make a lot of hay about how oppressive the Chinese government is when they ban religions like this, but the banned religions in question are almost all either esoteric nazis (falun gong) or Christian fascists like Eastern Lightning. Looking at the wiki page, it's convenient how every criminal incident involving Eastern Lightning actually has nothing to do with them, and yet they keep attracting mentally ill people into the sect and scrambling their brains with their occultist mumbo jumbo. This is a group that actively targets grown adults and encourages them to abandon their families so they can live in community under the cult, and follow the dictates of a woman they claim is the reincarnation of Jesus.

I bailed on his podcast when he was uncritically repeating de Tocqueville's analysis of the French Revolution (that if there hadn't been a revolution the changes would have happened anyway without violence). the episode where he reverently read out the US Bill of Rights in its entirety didn't bode well either

his podcasts are good but you absolutely have to pay 100% attention to everything he says or you’ll miss some tiny detail that’ll make everything that comes next extremely confusing. for revolutions i’ve only listened to the english civil war one so far and holy poo poo was it a pain to keep track of all the increasingly silly parliamentary factions continually drafting stupid documents with names like “the most admirable bill of noble and justly gain’d attainment” or “the revered declaration of sacred arrears in blissful perpetuity”.

The English Civil War and America War of Independence series are just school history books on tape really. The French one is when some historical materialist analysis starts getting added and it gets good.

history of rome was pretty good from what I can remember but was definitely made more confusing by the fact that the romans had like a total of five different first names among them

"I believe history is the story of individuals" goes on to quote a US president. lmao his bio on Wikipedia rules Lars Mehrling Brownworth (born c. 1975) is an author and former United States history, political science and study hall teacher at The Stony Brook School in Stony Brook on Long Island, New York, who created the top 50 podcast, 12 Byzantine Rulers: The History of the Byzantine Empire. This podcast was created on a whim by Lars and his brother, Anders Brownworth. Often mistaken for a college professor, Lars was, in fact, a high school history instructor at the time the podcast was produced. …. He used to serve as the chair of the history department at Washington Christian Academy in Olney, Maryland.

euphronius posted:thanks for the list . in our time is especially good. I love listening to In Our Time and yelling at the conservative British academics. Its really easy to find episodes where the French Revolution is referred to as a horrific event, and how great it is that the UK avoided a revolution and succeeded with gradual reforms. In the past few years they've tried to expand their guest list to have some more perspectives. I still would recommend it, because in general it gives you an idea of some of the different academic disputes on certain topics. Also the science episodes tend to be good as well.
