Eat This Glob posted:I'm on episode 19 of 60 or so of "revolutions" podcast about the French revolution. I find it really interesting and the host is pretty ok too. I'll probably jump around in order of interest/lack of knowledge. Shoutout to whoever the goon was that recommended it in some cspam thread a couple weeks ago. I really recommend going in order through Revolutions, things tend to lead into each other. Like, the French revolution specifcally plays into the next...five(?) pretty heavily at least don't skip Haiti, because it rules hard. there's a point towards the end of it where Mike starts editorializing about how the other revolutions cloaked themselves in flowery, liberal rhetoric about freedom and equality meanwhile the Haitians are goddamned slaves throwing off their shackles. actual liberation, none of this "boohoo my taxes" bullshit

TheBalor posted:The entire Rod Dreher saga. You can find these compiled on Youtube, but my favorites are "Have you ever heard of bimboification?" and "Elfquest." so I came on in like at the very end of 2017 with chapo, but is there really, for serious, a Rod Dreher piece about loving Elfquest?

Will's interview with Alan Moore was a fun little jaunt, and his position that advertising is both magical and the devil really struck a chord with me. also I'd totally spaced that Will had published one of Moore's books which really explained the "how" of the interview this week's dollop was kind of middling but there is something pure in Gareth taking so long to realize that Dave was talking about Colonel Sanders

I finished up Revolutions podcast's run on the Mexican revolution a few days ago and now I'm really sad that I can't rail 20 hours of Russia straight into my veins. I'm trying to put it off for a little but there's no way I can wait for what may well be a year before diving in to fill the space I did do some Citations Neededses and that Florida Man episode raises good points but also I've lived in Florida for 10 years now and this place does have a...feel to it. it's probably some cognitive dissonance bullshit but still

Atrocious Joe posted:I liked the recent Citations Needed about vegans and animal rights, but when the second guest started talking about animality and white supremacy being zooilogical I was lost. That interview went from introductory to jargon heavy really quick. Is this what I sound like to people when I talk about Marxism and class conflict without defining my terms first every time? people are fairly receptive until you use the S, C, or M words. the ideas of Marx himself resonate pretty clearly with most normal people, but you fight uphill due to the layers of propaganda that are out there even if people agree with you, the second you invoke those forbidden words they probably think you're some kind of demon who hates freedom

Pener Kropoopkin posted:wars, history, current events. there might be better podcasts for those specific topics but RWN is more holistically informative. they contextualize everything to the present in a way that makes sense to a left wing sensibility. I subbed recently after hearing Dolan on Chapo (and to fill space since I finally caught up to Revolutions) and pretty much immediately I'm saying it was a good call. It's nice to hear a show about the military and geopolitics that acknowledges that the CIA exists and does bad things

The stuff coal mine stuff that Tanya was talking about on the paid Trillbillies this week is kind of unreal hosed up. The company stopped paying into their 401ks, HSAs (no insurance, because coal miners), and even wasn't holding money out for loving child support for THREE MONTHS and then declared bankruptcy the day before the 4th of July. They're finding out about all that after the fact, and also after the last paychecks bounced for those who had direct deposit once the banks figured out they weren't getting money. Made my blood completely boil I do like that there's a conspiracy theory that the coal dipshit that died a few weeks ago maaaaaaaay have been shot down by angry Bahamians though, that's the feel-good poo poo

This week's Dollop is on Lyndon LaRouche. I know most if not all of you know he was nuts, but it's worth hearing a relatively concise list of how utterly insane he was

BENGHAZI 2 posted:"Music is wrong" rules The A=432 thing reeeaaally hurts my head. my day job is musical instruments and even the old A=442 stuff is useless in a modern context because we all just kinda decided it was stupid to make everyone buy two of the same instrument that works the same and has the same range but with ever-so slightly different geometry because that's how poo poo like oboes work. makes it a good cult cause though because that's one insane windmill to tilt at

double post but assuming I found the right one the RWN on LaRouche is 169. I'll be listening at work today but apparently it starts with them talking about Elliot Abrams, so that's sure to be a ray of sunshine.

Reporting back from the older RWN on LaRouche: did y'all know that Karl Marx worked with the republicans during the American civil war to prevent the US from being controlled by England? I want a LotR-length series of movies about LaRouche now because my god it's just bonkers poo poo all the way down

I went looking for info on Kamala's masonic cop guy, and found out that he wound up getting off: https://www.latimes.com/local/crime/la-me-fraternal-police-20160419-story.html My favorite quote, from his lawyer: quote:Police “could have told Mr. Henry and Ms. Hayes and Mr. Kiel, ‘Listen, this is not a good idea. Someone might think you are impersonating a police officer,’” Casselman said. “I think [police] are jealous of anyone who might be perceived as an interloper or, pardon the expression, a competitor.”
