Grand Fromage posted:Nah, Dave has a real nasty streak that Jordan lacks and drifts into a nutty conspiracy world that I think all the Alex Jones has pushed Jordan away from. Dave's got a brainworms thing going on that makes some Dollops hard to listen to now. thats kinda why i drifted away from the dollop. like i dont fully disagree with dave but he gets super loving intense with a hair trigger and it just reminds me of one of my uncles who while a genuinly goodish man, is just a massive massive rear end in a top hat who alienates everyone around him. staring into the abyss/trump/covid/twitter/his dad hosed dave up hard. anyway Kissinger episodes are great. i was surprised how nihilistic Kissinger was. it shouldnt be shocking but holy gently caress. like meets that baron von stucker looking dude in the army and goes full monster. i think he was always mildly sociopathic or something and his various hosed up child hood incidents laid out the train tracks. Hraathgar posted:I've been listening to these episodes and are were sure that Kissinger isn't a lich? My suspicions were raised in the first episode when it was revealed that the dude read books weird. Seems like a wizard to me. We just gotta figure out where his phylactery is. yeah, he probably found some grimoire and bound some daemons. that or they bound him. either way i am pretty sure there is like a long que to claim his soul.

I was not prepared for just how fucky things get at the start of episode 5 of Kissinger. I don't think preparation was possible.

The podcast introduced me to the podcast Nonsense Bazarre and, wow does St. Germain keep popping up on it. His myth coming up is as established on that show as the CIA is with Bastards. I hope he brings the hosts on to guest on an episode about cults. Any cult will do. RandomPauI fucked around with this message at 09:15 on Apr 21, 2022 |

Yup, the latest episode is about the St Germaine foundation. If the host disappear, it'll be because of their reporting on that.

I listened to the first two episodes and the hosts seemed to be buying into the conspiracy sort of mindset a little uncomfortably - is this a bit I'm not picking up on or is it entirely just me or does it go away? the topic interests me but that's a major turnoff

I've been jumping to random episodes as the mood hits, the vibe I get is that they want to believe in spirituality, but they also want to call out liars, con artists, fascist cult leaders, etc. So I'll hear, say, a light episode about a compulsive liar who definitely made up a ton of stories about hanging out with his new alien best friends. And then a heavy episode about the fascist origins of the I Am movement and it's awful founders. And then an episode about a pulp fiction writer who inspired a lot of people into believing in underground robots trying to manipulate people.

The real-world St. Germain was one of history's great grifters, and that was before the Theosophists glommed onto him and decided he was an ascended master. If you've got a conspiracy theory that involves 1700s European high society to any extent and St. Germain isn't in a prominent role, your conspiracy theory is flawed.

One of the unfortunate patterns is someone who seems fine or at least fairly harmless and then transitions into being awful and I think Robert likes to push that these people ended up doing horrible things because of a combination of selfishness, greed, recklessness, lack of pushback (or in some cases aid) from authorities, and general societal conditions.

I decided I needed more  in my life so I've started listening to Behind the Police and after four episodes we have reached full  Thank God for Robert's soothing voice, Prop's contagious laugh and "no, wait, I need to tell the listener how much to brace for the poo poo you're about to say" attitude, and Sophie's reigning in the shitstorm that is this podcast.

I thought Episode 4 was going to be a breeze to listen to because it's just about police unions. How bad could that be? oh, we're talking about the specific actions police unions took to solidify their ability to continue to kill POC without consequences, and Prop relates his lived experience growing up around those policies that threaten his life

See, in my home country of 5.5 million people, which ranks tenth in the list of firearms per capita, the cops have killed ten people in the 2000s. That's ten people in total in the entire country in 21 years. The cops are trained to de-escalate instead of just shooting if they feel stressed, and they know that every time a cop fires a gun, it will be investigated properly, and they will be charged if it was unjustified (I felt scared for my life is not an acceptable reason to shoot someone), and the person whose call that is the attorney general of the entire country, so good loving luck trying to intimidate her to drop the case. When an incel did a terror strike where he killed one woman and wounded several more near my hometown, the cops took him alive by shooting him in the leg, which they are trained to do. And they only shot him when he refused multiple orders to surrender and he was close enough to actually reach them, and one cop was hurt as she put a bullet in his leg.

Just a heads up that is probably very much needed, CZM and Margaret Killjoy are starting a new show on the network called Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff and Robert is the first guest. It sounds like it's still not 100 happy fun time since the Cool People were martyrs, it's still more like the Christmas BtB episodes.

a good handling so far I think - I hate that the story really does require such a thorough discussion of her but he's not wrong that it's a critical starting ground the description of her early family situation and lack of good adult modelling too hits very close to home - my irl socialization and autism are such that she's very much "there but for the grace of god" figure for me, substitute grace of god with having internal plumbing and a strong desire to not be a lovely person. it's a really powerful unraveling, I think, of how easy it is, or was, to justify to oneself what makes an acceptable target

Yeah, I had completely forgotten about her until (spoiling to avoid hinting at the topic) Trash Taste interviewed the guy who runs a YouTube channel who documents her (which I assume that was the 200 hour documentary Robert was referring to) shortly after she was arrested, and I think Robert handled it way better that that guy when talking about her

It's not about that specifically as far as I can tell, it's more about how the internet is a bastard and this is one of the original cases of gang stalking going from schizophrenic fantasy to horrible reality Although the end of today's episode does not at all make me comfortable for Thursdays episode, because Robert either has enough gas in the can to make a three parter or we are going to crash land into recent events that are NOT GOOD

You gotta wonder how things would have gone if she had a different upbringing, maybe she'd have always been a hosed up individual but it really seems like the parents couldn't figure out how to raise a severely autistic child.

The original plan behind WYE was to go to political events during the 2020 election, but then Covid happened, it became another news podcast, and then they all got busy with their other projects that cover the same topics. They're stretched thin, and unless they shift the focus of the podcast again, I don't see it sticking around.
