There was an SS division in Italy, iirc 16th SS Grenadiers, that essentially never actually fought the Allies but just terrorized Italian civilians the whole time.

online discourse grumbling. john dolan is old and gets annoyed at people being stupid on the internet. this version of internet stupidity is the annoying tendency to say that aha, there's no obvious analytic consistency to our sentimental connection to charismatic animals and so caring about charismatic animals is basically fascist, ref. madison grant

it's precisely the kind of half-educated stupidity that RWN really hates, but instead of coming from professional pundits it comes from random people on the internet. normally they're good about not spending time on it but here it seeped out a little

whenever you see people post about how much hitler took from the US there's a ~75% chance that madison grant is what they're thinking of, with a ~20% chance of it being a reference to the US racial laws of the time

They gave patrons a free copy of Erdogan Pizza.

I guess this isn't a money making venture per se, but the core customer base are the same people they're giving free copies to. Though if I like the book I may get a print copy anyway.

Yes. The email from the latest episode had a link to it. 14 bucks.

I finished my copy of Erdogan Pizza a few days ago. I remember listening to an episode during the very start of the pandemic where Dolan mentions losing his balance and falling off of a bicycle. Learning why it kept happening was pretty funny, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone. If it was in a newsletter, it's one I haven't read.

Interesting they had Lee Fang on. I thought Ames had some beef with him over who broke the story first on the tea party movement being a massive astroturf operation run by the Koch brothers. Maybe I'm misremembering.
