Dallas show was fantastic. Matt was incredibly drunk, accidentally flashed his rear end at one point, and they used a tweet I posted.

It was a good tweet! And Matt showing the entirety of his underwear was a special treat.

it’s frustrating to talk to liberals about politics

like my mom was skeptical that trump had covid and wasn’t onboard with me finding trump being yeeted out of his mind hilarious

Talking with liberals is definitely funny and frustrating at the same time. I remember laughing about the January 6th stuff and making fun of the incompetence and incoherence of it all and everyone was just shocked and offended about the DEATH OF DEMOCRACY.

If you haven't figured it out - we will never be a one party state, there needs to be an opposition for optics and people to get mad and feel represented by "throwing the bums out" every so often.

What changes is that the Dems would just move even further right, always divided among the median voter - but with apathy and voter suppression, that median voter represents an increasingly right wing perspective.

the latest hinge points was wildly optimic lol

I think the main problem (beyond the host) is that the scope is too big. take something way smaller than "germs don't exist" and cut it down to "what if lincoln is shot in December 1860" or something like that. right now it's too dumb and big and messy with too many moving parts that Christmas isn't aware of

I had the same thought - the previous ones that were more specific like the German Revolution were pretty good. The latest one about the Americas was too broad and bizarre for them to really have anything interesting to say. The stuff about MesoAmerican socialism was also strange. The Doggerland one was kinda boring too for similar reasons.

Weren't the Aztecs a conquering slave empire? I thought one of the reasons Cortez was successful was that some people colonized by the Aztecs hated them enough to make a gamble on the devil they didn't know and helped Cortez and his people out.

Yeah, their general point about "oh, what if x y z had happened and Protestant-led capitalism hadn't dominated the world" is a good and valid point, but the idea that the Aztecs would have developed socialism were it not for the dastardly Europeans is a bit more deranged wishcasting than most. Any sort of alternate world where the Aztecs/MesoAmericans/Incans grew to rival Old World power has so many other weird changes and variables that I have a hard time even envisioning what it would look like. Probably closer to Ethiopian resistance to European colonization.

I think the Napoleon episode was actually one of their best yet - partly because the guest was extremely knowledgable and corrected Matt/Chris accordingly. The dynamic seems to work best when it's:

Guest - Knowledgeable and assertive but open minded. Will provide good context and correct Chris/Matt but be polite about it and not ruin Matt's tirades.
Matt - Provides some relatively newish or interesting angle to a historical event, knows enough to match the guest in broad knowledge of the topic to keep the tirades grounded, goes on a few funny bants
Chris - Keeps Matt on track, sets up jokes/bants, I am going to assume does 99% of the prep work, production, getting guests, and everything to make up for Matt's failson nature

The Napoleon ep raised a really, really good alternate history question of what French hegemony would look like compared to English hegemony. While the sort of fundamental colonialism/exploitation is still there, French-led capitalism that is more "liberal" and a bit less hypocritical at least with regards to slavery and republicanism would really be fascinating, and I'd love to see what the Anglo-American world would look like in reaction.

Also Napoleonic Egypt is a fun as gently caress idea.

Being brazilian, the start of today's episode was a bit weird. Sure, the guys' job is to be funny, and there IS a pathetic side to sunday's riot/insurrection. But they forgot that last time around it didn't take much more than that for the military to march out and take over for 20 years.

And the whole "yeah, they smashed in and didn't know what to do" ignores the fact that they fully intended to camp in there, holding back the new government and daring the high military command to take a side. Said military command has been sheltering their camps, protests and roadblocks for 2+ months now.

Matt should have been there, if what I'm saying.

I wonder if the Brazilian Jan 6th thing would have been more threatening/successful if they did it right after the second round, for the reasons you point out above. This one seemed totally doomed and pathetic with Bolso not even in the country, and it seemed like the moment had passed to me (an outsider).
