Imagine a world where 500 fewer Floridians said "Hey, didn't his wife try to get my favorite bands banned 15 years ago? gently caress that, I'm voting for the other guy"

lol yeah imagine a world where more Floridians cast votes for Gore than for Bush, what a wild and different world that would be

I think "would 9/11 and the War on Terror happen" if Gore won in 2000 would be fascinating alternate history. I think the answer would still be yes though and we definitely would have still invaded Afghanistan but I wonder if we would have done Iraq

It really depends on whether the Project for a New American Century ghouls somehow worm their way into the good graces of Gore after 9/11 happened. Given that they were able to do so with Biden I would say yes

This alternate world where Gore won would also be a world without Mother and I’m unsure if that’s a good thing or a bad thing

Obama embarrassed Trump on air with the birth certificate thing and that single handedly drove him over the edge into seriously running for president and dismantling Obama's legacy

from what i recall, trump deflected by saying it wasnt the "long form birth certificate" and the white house press correspondents dinner where obama roasted trump was the event where he decided to seek vengeance.

Man say what you will about the guy but getting owned by obama and then becoming the next president and tanking his pet TPP project is some impressive "force of will" stuff

e: lol you were right, what you described was at 2011 press correspondents dinner. Trumps stoney faced expression throughout is also quite lol

any other neoliberal successor to Obama would have continued Obama's real legacy project, TPP. that is what he was counting on. he wasn't counting on Donald Trump

You look back at history and causes of events and motivations of the players are often murky and unclear. It's one thing that makes it so unsatisfying, you always know the broad strokes but you can never tease out with certainty exactly how and why things came to pass.

That's what makes this video so great. You're literally witness to the exact moment history changed direction.

Jan 27 - Feb 8

Discussion amongst Alekx, Ethan, Savanah, William, and Taylor happens concerning the unacceptable nature of Justin’s actions and non-apology. Savanah had planned a meeting to discuss clarifying group tasks and holding a tutorial so that Ethan would not continue to be the only one able to fill merch orders. Alekx let us know that they wanted to address Justin before the RPG recording on the 8th with an excerpt of Mao’s “Combat Liberalism”. This was given full support from William, Taylor, Ethan, and Savanah.

Feb 8 Struggle Session and Game Table episode recording

A discussion is held before the Game Table recording. Justin, Jeremy, Ethan, Savanah, William, and Alekx are present. Alekx presents a statement pointing out why Justin's behavior was undemocratic, unprincipled, and inappropriate. Alekx plays a recording of "Combat Liberalism" and gives copies of it to each person to read because it is theoretically applicable to the situation at large. Justin won't acknowledge his behavior until several people speak up to add how the take-home message is that we need to communicate better as a group. Justin gives a half-hearted apology saying, "I'm sorry I blew up." He did not self-crit about any of the specific behaviors. Alekx asks if there is anything else to be said, and Justin doesn't add anything to the discussion. We record the game as if things are semi-resolved.


Insanely funny

It was called Proles Pod and Justin's behavior was starting a microbrewery. See page 200-201 of podcasts thread for live posts
