If you liked Matt Karp's Chapo ep about the Civil War then Radio War Nerd had a good free episode recently about Unionists in North Carolina you should check out. It looks at the the Civil War from the same sort of materialist perspective. Mark Ames barely talks too so that's a plus for me.

Yet it was funny to hear Scahill briefly fall into same slips that are always mocked on chapo, like giving Saddam credit for letting women drive in Iraq. Intersectional feminism!

They tend to fall into zoo-crewing instead of preparing and asking followups and challenging them guests. It'd be nice to see scahill challenged from the left instead of just them boys doing the democrat voice and other impersonations.

Cushman in particular seems to know a lot about his poo poo but tries to interject his knowledge instead of using it to pry poo poo out of the guest. He's only there for so long guys. Focus on him.

Sorry about your West Point experience

They offered her money to go to west point sounds a lot like Herman Cain's claim. West Point doesn't give scholarships. There's no tuition. Maybe that sounds like a scholarship to a high school student, but it's not how it works.

I just listened to the most recent free episode and I jump a bit Matt said the Republicans were one state legislature away from having the necessary "2/3" to force through constitutional amendments. Fortunately the threshold is 3/4 and they're more like 6 away.

That thought sent a loving chill down my spine though.

They only need 2/3 to call a constitutional convention, but then it takes 3/4 at the convention to ratify any amendments.

I dunno, sounds like it could be the huge clusterfuck the Republicans hang themselves with. What would they even call it for? Balanced budget amendment?

Restrict the franchise to property holders. Voting share scales with property. Voters are now called shareholders. Voting rights can be delegated to fund managers.

All women now legally referred to as "Of-$husbandname"

The beautiful thing about that is that once abortion rights are written out of the constitution, the religious right will start going for democrats like they've always said they would :)

Abortion has always been a proxy for women's liberation. Those voters aren't turning into liberals once Roe is overturned.

Memes as units of ideas are super useful in this era of Facebook. They're simple; repeated, and shared. Basically free advertising.

Memes as images with impact font are usually stupid of course, but that goes with the territory. The left needs to seize the memes of production.

Memes are self organizing by nature of the necessary repetitions required to become a meme. Top-down committees gave us "I'm with her." The magic of memes gave us the Bernie bird.

I went and watched that Adam Curtis documentary like the good gray wolf I am and man was it some hot garbage. I had seen one of his earlier ones and I remembered it as being along the lines of loose change or other 9/11 truth poo poo. When I heard the Adam Curtis cold open to chapo a while back I assumed they were mocking him. And I honestly enjoy watching conspiracy poo poo going back to when i read illuminatus! back in high school. I heard the interview on chapo and he seemed like a reasonable not-crazy person. How he could have put that documentary together i do t understand.

Adam Curtiss for the most part just rants without any point or direction, and uses images and music to give his diatribes an illusion of poignancy. He is only popular because he uses the right words that people on the left like, and you can basically turn off your brain and just let the wave of vaguely sympathetic gibberish hit you and give you a feeling that there are people who feel the same as you, maaan.

I think I would have enjoyed it more had I been stoned. I liked the disaster movie montage with "Dream Baby Dream" played over it.

I'm scanning over it again for my favorite part which was another montage that has Jane Fonda doing aerobics with the overlay saying something I found amusing.

Thats the one. That wasn't scahill's intent? Sure read like that to me.

I don't think you mean to do this but you kinda saying votes in cities don't matter as much as more exburb/rural votes. Hillary lost because people didn't like her, and no amount of press or rallies would change 30 years of mudslinging. The one thing the GOP has is a reliable base that will vote R, seemingly no matter what, and that is exactly what happened. Trump got almost exactly what Romney got. I figured she would win based on 2012 turnout alone, since Trump was so toxic, and I was completely wrong. She really was a much much worse candidate than I had thought.

Considering that the press was among those slinging the mud, yes a different press approach would have made a difference. Also, it's unfair to compare hillarys numbers with that of the first black man to become president.

The party has been completely captured by corporatism and finance at the federal level, so these articles are not about novelty. They are a protest of the party in its current state and a reminder that the party enjoyed great success when it stood up for the working and the poor.

I mean, a non-trivial amount of libs are now basically Reaganite Cold Warrior types that cloak it with diversity talk. That's not going to work.

When is the period you're talking about? If it's the new deal, then yes they stood up for white working class and poor people. The coalition fell apart once LBJ pushed through the CRA.

That'd be pretty funny if the story is deflated by a honeypot document that was easily disprovable but had the real nugget (or stream in this case) of truth in it. Kind of like GWB's vacation from the national guard and the keening bullshit.
