tiberion02: Mar 26, 2007; People tend to make the common mistake of believing that a situation will last forever.

in a previous life i did the consulting poo poo

there are two types of consultants, kids from good universities with no idea what the gently caress they're doing with their lives, and then there's the born mercenaries. absolutely nothing behind the eyes when they talk to you. i have worked with mayors pete in the past, and they are nice and productive as long as you do not, under any circumstances, try to engage them in a social context.

the question I have is what the gently caress lead him to become Mayor of South Bend, because most of these people are quietly shuffled into a mid-level office at Moloch Incorporated by the time they realize there's no partnership in their future. the route from McKinsey to Notre Dame Rape Coverup Coordinator is a bit of a headscratcher

As I recall, Pete Paul Montgomery's congressional district when he was growing up was solid Democratic from like the mid-70s... until Gingrich revolution in 94, got gerrymandered to oblivion when literally Mike Pence was its Rep in early 2000s, and actually went back to Democrats from 2006-2012... probably grew up expecting to be a Mayor->Congressman, but that district got sliced up in 2013 and his congressional aspirations with it (assuming).

Also same, and every drat petty city and township in this garbage state (Ohio) has 2-4 mayors pete lording over nuggets of power

It's so incredibly sad thinking about what Africa could have been like under the influence of people like Lumumba and Nkrumah if they were allowed to continue ruling.

They already made an off-handed comment during season 2 that Gladio was "another season". Its a topic that is virtually unknown inside the US itself and could benefit from a podcast with the production values of Blowback breaking it down.

eh, gladio has become almost an obnoxious internet meme at this point. i feel it's been covered well enough in the likes of Ghost Stories for End of the World, Death is Just Around the Corner, and Trueanon. and it's not like there's a zillion of hard concrete information to roll out about it that more speculatory-based pods have done about as good as a job.

yeah that's more what i was going with, is while there's good stuff about it, and much of it probably true, it's not entirely solid and for obvious reasons going to be conjecture. and there never will be much else given a lot of the high honchos involved are dead and any documents have long been "misplaced"

doesn't really fit the blowback meticulous research and backed-up style of narrative

Have any podcasts looked at Turkish politics in the cold war. It seems like people say Gladio and then start talking about Italy and Belgium. Which did have poo poo go down, but Turkey is the NATO country with multiple open military coups and is where the term Deep State emerges from.

Interesting. Maybe it was just me growing up in a college town where the left considered 68 a model of what student protests/direct action could lead to.

that event was always much more in the popular consciousness. maybe because it was a mass movement and the years of lead or red army faction in germany were closer to the weathermen than a mass politic

so was like 99% of america. there's a massive disconnect between Online and irl. not saying it's right or wrong, nor a moral judgement, but you go Online and covid is breaking down america and everyone is dying left n right, and then you go offline and everyone is just hanging out at bars and parks n stuff, and traffic is 10x worse than before, and no one even thinks about it other than wearing cloth masks to go do grocery shopping bc its a state requirement.

mostly just everything is so stupid that everyone gave up

765k deaths is 0.2% of the US population. even quadruple that (with under reporting) is still not even 1%. and thats not taking into account how spread out the population is on the landmass, and how disconnected americans have become socially. how can you expect anyone to care about a disease that has likely not affected anyone they care about in any serious way? peoples lived experience trumps the constant doom-saying in the media, especially in the media that they already dont care for. i personally dont know anyone who was diagnosed with covid, though naturally who i fraternize with are left leaning

I'm not sure. Full disclosure, I'm only half way through their first season, so take my next paragraph with a grain of salt, but, here's my take.

I think there's value in discussing their work through the lense of comparative politics, further disclosure, this is a topic I'm studying in my very very late in life higher education. What I have found so compelling about their exploration of the iraq war are the cultural factors, which has been broadly abandoned ever since Oscar Lewis' seminal work "culture of poverty" broke the entire school of thought and sent it into the nether zone for like 50 years or whatever. The tiger economies, of which SK, TW, and JP are a part, are, broadly speaking, more interestingly analyzed as structural phenomena. Vietnam was defended by the capitalist world system in order to provide a "backyard" for the tiger economies. They needed someone to exploit for labor in order to participate in the invitation industrialization, basically, and thats why we fought that awful war, at the behest (and as the leader of) the capitalist world system. Further, the only reason they were elevated is due to the shocking (and incredible) work of Mao, who took China off the capitalist table. In the postwar period, we were gearing up to add china to global capitalism, but, uh, drat. So we brought up a collective of JP, TW, and SK in their absence. Now, while I don't doubt that there are incredible stories, and I would love to hear it, I am unsure that the issue is able to be broken down piecemeal enough to be compelling in their format.

I consider Blowback S1 to be more akin to a living room play, with a lot of interpersonal drama playing out between intimately connected actors. The tigers, Vietnam included, are more akin to a marvel movie, huge sprawling expanses and long-threaded, convoluted plotlines.

Just my 2c

(commie mental health pod) I recommended it to a psychologist friend of mine and was wondering if anyone had episode recommendations I could send him. No specific topic, just something that's a good introduction to their subject matter. I've only listened to a few eps, starting from the beginning.
