is there a procedure where a doctor can just suck out all the phlem in your lungs with a hose? because a lot of people shouldn't be allowed to speak into a mic without it

the problem with mike duncan is that he's not a historian (and really, none of us should be), so he just goes round repeating books he read - which would be fine, if not for the fact that he has zero frame of reference so his criteria is "do my brain worms nod along to this narrative or not?". then depending on the season, he'll start editorialising and the further he gets from the book, the more obvious it becomes that he's kind of a loving lib idiot. so it makes sense that a lot of his "best" seasons or podcasts are either on subjects that are fairly popular but back far enough to be somewhat depoliticised (rome) so no matter the book you pick, you'll probably get away with it. or subjects with less popular history works written about them (haiti). that his series on the russian revolution raised as many eyebrows makes sense, as the western historical field focussed on the soviet union is just an absolute flaming pile of trash.

also, i haven't listened to the antifada in years after checking out a few episodes back in the days, but looking at their recent episodes: have they always been this insufferably anarchist and gauchist?

I'm actually re-listening to that part of the storm before the storm today. Specifically, in addition to passing the land bill and giving Italians full citizenship, the gracchi should have spent more time convincing people that they were actually bad because otherwise people like you and the corrupt elites beat you to death with a table leg on the senate floor and then make up a post facto conspiracy and really whose fault is that. Yours thats who.

it bears repeating that the Haitian revolution has very little documentation and the most prominent book on it was by a Marxist historian. mike Duncan did not become radicalized by his research on the Haitian revolution; he was just forced to use a Marxist history as his primary source and based his views off of that. The dudes issue is that he is biased toward more liberal histories when he can obtain them.

Can someone remind me why the war nerd is a vagabond? I know it s originally because he was unemployable but surely he could settle down somewhere with his podcast earnings?

to be fair to the chapo boys I will never actually know if Avatar (2009) is as crappy as I remember it being because there's no way I'm gonna rewatch a three hour movie I walked out of saying "that was fine"
