To people who like him, Robert Evans is a modern-day George Orwell.

Mike Duncan hasn't covered China, right?

Nope, and I think he's said Russia will be the last part of Revolutions (which will probably be 150 episodes at this rate).

I don't believe everything I hear about Robert Evans but lol can't iHeartRadio filter out ads on his podcasts

If I remember correctly from his post in RGD he said IHeartRadio paid him 400k/year, but that is likely for all his podcasts (and BtB is just the most popular one).

His stance seems to be that he'd rather take ad money than grift subs from poor people on Patreon, which is fine if the ads are for Hello Fresh and less so if its the loving Army.

new revolutions has a wishy washy moderate portrayal of loving kornilov. he was just a guy that wanted to restore discipline until the war was over. literally a section where he goes "he was far from an out and out reactionary. in his own words: 'i am not a counter revolutionary...'"

mike duncan stinks!

I was wondering when this would happen lol

as someone not very familiar with USSR history outside Revolutions, can you expand on this?

it sucks guys like duncan don't realize every politician and political party everywhere files frivolous lawsuits after elections to try to get them tossed out, it's no big deal, its part of the game. but because some fat tourists showed up it suddenly became a huge deal

I'm not super familiar with US history but I think in the great scheme of things and how corrupt US elections used to be, 2020 is pretty middle of the road

It's very weird how "tankie" was this obscure term until a bunch of social media accounts obsessed with tankies just popped up out of nowhere in the past 6 months or so.

It was a big deal on the anti-China twitter for longer, which is why I think it made the leap from there to anti-Russia / pro-Ukraine accounts

I liked History of Rome and most of Revolutions, but he was never going have a great take on the Russian Revolution, there's just far too much bad liberal historiography out there on it to blind him

That his next podcast is going to be reviewing history books is going to be really telling, watch them review Snyder or Applebaum glowingly at some point

sex work discourse is terrible because it gets so tied to Puritan ideas around sex. even if you're discussing basic takes like grooming or trafficking is bad a certain subsection gets mad because any actual solution will also heavily impact normal sex workers.

Evans podcasts are almost all focused on the culture war (four part episode on DeSantis' campaign), supporting NATO (Wagner in Africa) or idealistic anarchism that won't go anywhere outside the audience's bedroom or squat (covering Cop City, etc)

ContraPoints is pretty great as far as stuff on YouTube goes and if you can tolerate hearing from people who don’t 100% align on every detail of your politics but aren’t like, weird about it.

Like BtB / ICHH have interesting episodes at times but the root of their analysis is that they want the status quo back. Maybe without the Bad Men.
