Oh by the way Robert, It Can Happen Here was excellent, informative, thought-provoking, and really well-crafted. It also scared the poo poo out of me. Also it introduced me to Four Fists for which I will be forever grateful

I'd heard the episode of The Dollop on Fred Hampton so I almost felt like he got underserved (as he sort of had to be on account of how it wasn't an entire episode about him and how awesome he was) but since I'd known that stuff already it was cool. Really, really infuriating, though, in the way all the best BtB eps are

Then I read the article Robert mentioned and while I think there's one or two stretches in it, it ain't all stretches is the thing (I never saw the video for "All That She Wants," for instance, and now that I have.... uugh).

I hadn't even fired up my podcast app when I saw the Out Of Context Behind The Bastards Twitter account (pro follow btw) say something about LRH summoning a sex demon with your best friend by jacking off in the Mojave and immediately went "oh poo poo yes a Jack Parsons ep" I will admit that the mispronounciation of Agape made me a little sad but gently caress it, Robert's not an occult expert or anything

Robert mentions an encounter with someone who had claimed to have served in the Israeli military but who came across as very American, and noted that Americans going to Israel and serving in the military and then, like, deciding that Israel isn't for them and coming back to the US is a thing that happens and did not take the opportunity to segue into a diatribe about Israeli imperialism, meaning he must really love the IDF At least that's my guess It's a pretty dumb take IMO

EDIT: adding the quote so it's clear what I'm responding toBust Rodd posted:I don’t think complicity with the Israeli regime is a good thing I don't think it is either, but I also think a podcast episode dedicated to "no look this poo poo actually happens in rural America, let's tell some stories 'cause y'all need to understand this" is where you put the foreign policy opinions. Like, I don't know how Robert feels about Israel one way or the other, but I do know that if he'd taken the time to explain it in that particular episode it would have felt pretty out of place DOUBLE EDIT: to be extra-clear, at no point does he say "oh and this IDF adventurism is a good thing" or whatever, he simply notes that people join the IDF in the context of this one dude who claimed to have joined the IDF. And also had a child bride. So. DivineCoffeeBinge fucked around with this message at 13:41 on Apr 15, 2020 |

Bust Rodd posted:It wouldn’t be out of place or out of character for Robert to pause and just stress that he is opposed to the Israeli occupation of Palestinian Territories and their open-air prison system is a reprehensible war crime. That would actually be, uh, pretty on brand and sort of the thing I’ve come to expect from him. Except - and I tried to make this clearer in my edit, apologies for not spelling it out the first time around - the IDF was mentioned entirely in the context of "this dude said he was in the IDF, that's how we started talking, now let me tell you about the giant knife collection he had in his house in the middle of nowhere." Like, the IDF was not an important part of the story or even tangentially related to the themes the episode was exploring. I don't know, maybe listen to the ep before you make up your mind from a couple of tweets that Robert is in favor of the occupation of Palestine, I guess

Bust Rodd posted:Like I completely understand Robert goes on to explain that this dude sucks and is weird and a kook. I don’t think their issue is in representing them in a good light, the issue seems to be “why even interview someone who maybe participated in the Israeli POGROM... at all?” Except, you see, that isn't what happened, which is why I went back to the well of "maybe listen to the interview" because you didn't seem to grok that. The segment was entirely "this is a story about a crazy dude my ex-partner and I met in the woods years ago," as Generic American's quote indicates. At no point was the individual "interviewed," this was a story from the host's lived experience of meeting this specific guy and boggling somewhat at the Bud K Catalog level of crazy knives the dude had lying around before being introduced to his child bride. In the context of "I think a lot of affluent or city-dwelling Americans don't quite get how many mind-bogglingly strange people there are out in the wilds of rural America, let's try and fill in that gap" it fit, but this isn't a story he went and sought out for the episode. I'm entirely on board with the notion that maybe white USAians (a number among which I regretfully must fall) need to listen to PoC, this is a good thing and anyone who argues otherwise is a dummy. And frankly I think Israel is an apartheid state complicit in a number of crimes against humanity for which it has not been made to pay. But like three people showed up to go "yeah I listened to the ep and that conclusion feels like kind of a reach to me," and your response was to keep going back to the well of "look I don’t think complicity with the Israeli regime is a good thing" rather than actually engaging with any of the contents of any of those responses - which, for me at least, made it seem like your mind was already made up, especially in that I hadn't seen the number of times you edited in a "look I'll listen to the episode" statement in prior responses. Y'know?

Snowy posted:I’d like an episode with some rapid fire micro bastards, the ones that truly suck but might not have enough material for a full episode. "The Ten Biggest Bastards Robert Doesn't Want To Dig To Do Research For" would be a great ep EDIT: Also it'd be a great way to deal with listener suggestions that Robert doesn't feel like researching for various reasons if he could say "well look I'm not devoting twenty hours of my life to learning about this rear end in a top hat but enough of you wanted to hear about them so here's what I pulled together in like twenty minutes"

Robert, have you thought about doing episodes in a reverse format, where the guest comes in and tells you about a bastard? It seems to me that if you did, like, two of those a year it'd be A) an occasional break for you when things like 'I need to go cover protests' happens, B) an occasional treat for your listeners, and C) a great way for you to get into bastards that might not fit your usual range of interests. I'd love to hear an episode on Walter Breen, for instance, because the utter bastardy that early SF/Fantasy fandom was shot through with is something a lot of people don't know about, but I have no idea if that's a topic you'd want to research - but if you get someone else to research it, well...

AFAIK that's pretty much it; CPS got called, CPS realized they had been called by a crazy person, CPS went away, leaving behind a significantly traumatized lady whose husband wanted to know why in the gently caress their wife's hobby had social workers showing up at their home and a bunch of bystanders going 'wait they did whaaaaat?" But that was enough for me to never forget it

Or possibly RaHoWa .... ...Robert, do an episode about RaHoWa
