I think that's the message for a deactivated account (by the user), banned accounts show "Account suspended."

yeah out of all the podcast set, dolan and ames seem the most genuinely relieved at being able to make relatively stable, decent money for once. one gets the impression that they're not entirely sure this isn't all some kind of elaborate hoax which will pull away the carpet from under them at the worst possible moment

i checked and they've got about 4000 subscribers. at $10 a month, that's $40,000 a month - they hired a sound guy, which probably costs them a fair chunk, and i don't know how much of that goes out in taxes, patreon's cut and various expenses, but i'd guess that they're taking home about $100,000 per annum each which is Pretty Good for independent journalists and must simply seem like heaven to a previously eternally broke ESL teacher

One of John's best ever articles was the one he wrote for NSFW Corp or Pando, about how he and his wife were almost killed by being poor in Canada. I don't think you can find it now because it was repackaged as a 99 cent ebook. https://www.amazon.com/Canada-Was-Cakewalk-John-Dolan-ebook/dp/B00CL0KE94

there are a few of dolans writings on the exiled (sadly not the exile which is very paywalled) website about his time in poverty https://exiledonline.com/living-with-cons-and-paupers-in-canadas-arctic-waters/ https://exiledonline.com/tips-for-new-paupers/ and then this one which is written under a pseudonym but is also clearly dolan and one of my favorite things he's ever written: http://exiledonline.com/to-the-crows/

Taibbi gets over a mil for the diarrhea he shits out, and Ames and Dolan are lucky to get a 1/10th that amount for actually putting out something decent. That's capitalism!

Wraith of J.O.I. posted:$10/month? i pay $5/month and get all the episodes and newsletters........ you know i've never actually checked but when i signed up it said $5 for each episode up to a max of $10 per month. if it's $5 it's a much smaller $50,000 per annum, which is still a solid base income but obviously much less than what i thought

So about the show, this new episode on McLellan is a real eye opener for me, because it sounds like an open and shut case that he was a traitor. I like to think I know a lot about the civil war because I went through the civil war buff phase as a kid - but really most of what I learned was revisionist history shaped by a white consensus.

John needs to compile these civil war episodes into an alternate history of the civil war book, because an unapologetic pro-union take is refreshing.

McLellan writing to himself about how magnanimous he is for not becoming a dictator, has the same kind of energy as a gaming forum poster who literally thinks he'll be the God Emperor.

A small thread about the attitude of the paper of record at the lead up to the civil war: https://twitter.com/adamjohnsonNYC/status/1459925519856771072 https://twitter.com/adamjohnsonNYC/status/1459926524614922240 "I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

The plan for the South after looking into their future was to do filibustering adventures in Latin America, turn those states into slave states, and just keep moving their plantations further south when they had depleted the soil.

That would be funny (and horrifying) to see, even if they managed to sway the local elites into supporting their cause the countrysides would be likely be bristling with anti-anglo guerillas and escaped slaves, not to mention that it would turn them into a complete pariah state to the world.

Who the gently caress would be buying that Cotton? Egypt was already beginning to supplant the Americas in production and abolitionism was growing in Europe so there would be a lot of public pressure to not buy from them.

Speaking of, the Tachanka is depending on definition the first technical. Not sure if the Ukrainian anarchists were the first to do it but they made it famous
