Yeah, this always comes with the bittersweet pill that nobody will face any consequences or see any setbacks to their careers, while everyone who was right gets marginalized and stuck on the sidelines moving forward. Just like every other time there's a "journalistic" consensus that turns out to be a heap of poo poo.

R. Mute posted:every time dolan starts talking about the warrior spirit in various ethnicities im reminded that he's essentially a 19th century thinker and that he probably owns multiple bicorn hats yeah he's incredibly and openly old-fashioned and it sometimes allows him to see things much more clearly than most of his contemporaries but sometimes also leads him into very weird places stuff like his open admiration for organisation and martial discipline makes him a very interesting dissenting thinker, but as they keep insisting on the podcast you really do have to know how to read him

yeah the various conversations about the willingness of different cultures to accept different levels of casualties in war as acceptable for example is very interesting, but it’s turns into ‘the x are a warrior people’ in ways that feel like an RPG statbook.

it's usually fine and just a quirk, but in episodes like the ethiopia one it really jumps out and goes from "weird way of looking at things" to "wrong way to look at things"

Americans are a warrior people, but only when it comes to deaths from viral illness, cars, or obesity Deaths from war, not so much

My understanding is that Glenn’s takes over the last couple years has been “American fascism is rad because it owns the libs and gives me opportunities for hot takes, Brazilian fascism is bad because it could actually effect me now that I live there.”

Mark and Yasha (who has been a guest on RWN a few times) have been writing articles critical of Greenwald since 2011 or so, especially the journalist's relationship to various billionaire interests. Makes sense given that the two were writing about the Kochs as far back as 2009 in Playboy of all places.

reading the Wikipedia articles of people war nerd discusses is a great time. have a read of the Chennault article, it’s a hagiography that makes him sound like the worlds least appreciated man.

I really appreciated the point Mark brought up about how common it was for Americans to insist "the oriental" doesn't value life the same way we do. Yet here we are in an actual pandemic, and we practically can't wait to die. Whereas China has a working pandemic response.

I've spoken to a bunch of liberal friends and family about this and even they have reached the conclusion that the government just left everyone to die. The only ones who argued back were a few of my friends who are hardcore dems (lol).

Loving, kinda, the victory lap around ‘the pee tape is real, even if the pee tape isn’t real’, which I’m pretty sure I tweeted to the 3 non-bot non-rl-knower followers. Not that I’m interesting, creative, or worth following. Still wanna know John’s handle here.

I usually find that whenever get a few million people killed that they just didn’t value life like us, otherwise they wouldn’t let us bomb their country, duh.
