I got a big kick out of this one, because FPY was personally snubbed by Oswald Moseley, who also refused to read his dumbass book.

re: taibbi and idpol - him getting incredibly worked up about dumb "campus free speech" poo poo a couple of years ago was probably the first sign that this would be where he ended up

the only book he wrote that delivers a remotely leftist critique of anything he completely disowned because of idpol and his new fanbase so i don't really think any of that is true or ever has been true of taibbi

Listening to the John Griffiths interview and lol that the big winner on the NATO side is the Gepard for its anti-drone capability because the US MIC has nothing like it and the closest they ever got was the Sgt York, which was a boondoggle so lovely that it got canceled under Reagan

I think John and Mark are just desperate to find people who will back up their perspective on the war, which is understandable given all the gaslighting in the US media sphere

AP mines are the perfect mix of "you hosed up, your death or maiming was your fault" with "you had no agency in the matter" and that is uniquely terrifying.
