Same here, now when I hear someone talk about all the ads they’re seeing I feel Iike I’m talking to a masochist.

This is why I listen to episodes when they are download and press the fast forward button when ads come up.

Also if they were more Nazi than the one, that tea would have spilled years ago, but stranger things have happened (ask me about Nogger ice cream! And negerchokladbollar! And weird white dude thirst here).

I swear every time I see that ice cream I do a double take. At least they got rid of the yellowface icon for that Kina brand snack, though.

Oh hey, neat! An episode on Stanley. You know, I used to live in St. Asaph - there's a monument to the scum in that city. No mention about his work for King Leopold, gee - I wonder why. Still, the only other thing they've got going for them historically in the modern era is the fact that the guys who wrote 'Pack up your Troubles' came from the place. You also find out that one of the two of them committed suicide. Fun place!

true. like i said, it could be a great 10 part mini series. follow various characters. follow that payed off inquest that turns on leopold because of the actual evidence. make a scene that shows that chief using sticks to show the number of dead, show hypocrisy of the various European powers/etc.

Hey, if they want to make it particularly relevant, also include the pedophilia monarchy ring.

I’d like a goddamn episode on the weird Columbine groupies OR angry white men as a demographic. I mean...most of it can be boiled down to “we’re addicted to failing people at their most vulnerable”, but still.

Might I suggest something re. those who lionize Elliot Rodgers, now that there was the recent thing in Canada that was officially recognised as incel violence or something like that?

Or, unless it's too soul-crushing to bear, those who lionize Dylan Roof?

next two episodes are on "the fascists that failed", so we're talking Feb 6 1934 in Paris and then the Business Plot.

there are a bunch more i could've done but the series has to end at some point so we can talk about grifters again and give people a break.

and also give me a break. the spanish civil war episodes were hard.

It's been a while since I last commented, but I just wanted to say thanks for this series and, even though I may not agree with your politics 100% of the time, I still find your insights of benefit and appreciate the labour that you and your colleagues put into this project.

I took an entire class in college called “Papal Indescretion” and it was about all the most hosed up popes and all the insane bacchanalia that they got up to.

Popes would molest nuns and then raise the babies as nuns and then officiate their own weddings to their own secret daughters that they raised in secret convents.

They hosted a grand ball and the Pope would assign high ranking Cardinal positions to the priest who busted the most nuts with all of Romes most expensive escorts.

My favorite was, I believe, Boniface the 8th, who was a steward of the Pope, and convinced the sitting pope that he was too old to be Pope and needed help. After the sitting Pope, John the 16th or whatever, gave him some of his papal authority, Old Boner Face immediately decreed the previous Pope a heretic and had him locked up in a tower and made himself full Pope. And the imprisoned Pope, a 78 year old man at the time, escaped from the tower and made it all the way to France before they found him and improsoned him again (and he escaped again, lol)

What I’m saying is there are probably 2-3 popes who could EASILY, easily, fill up an episode, and their crimes range from the comically absurd to Heironymous Bosch levels of hell and darkness.

Not that I think that Rob and the gang couldn't do a good job, but there is the podcast Pontifacts who are leading up to these popes.

I think it helped me that I never once thought I deserved anything of any kind, and that the most I could expect from life was being of service to other people who seemed more real than me.

Of course, this lead to other massive insecurities. But it prevented fascism taking a hold of me, so... Hooray?

At the risk of trying too hard on something that isn't really important, I think there are many male-identifying people who try to desperately quantify all things, since they have been taught it is unmanly to be emotional/reflect on emotions, so this is the closest way they feel it is manly for them to deal with the sadness of isolation.

The idea that there are things that don't need to be and should not be put in some kind of a heirarchy, a quantifiable datasheet (or even something which says it is quantifiable) is an existential threat to being a heteronormative man, and so there is this urge to put a number value on all emotions.

By the way, Rich, if you are at all interested, Discendo Vox has made a number of effort posts on one of the major driving forces behind segregation lobbying in U.S. science - you can find them in the science thread in the Minority Rapport sub-forum. It seems right up your alley.

And is that Moscow Mule WITH gin in them as well, or Moscow Mules and gin as hell separate drinks, cause if the former then wow-ee.

It was the Monster brand Moscow Mule crap which is weirdly passable when you add gin (as are most things). There’s a premade box drink in Systemet I see and it’s just too sweet. Felt too lazy to make the actual drink myself.

I’d say it’s more knee-gourd, for the aa-å exchange. å was easier to learn than ä på svenska, as a filthy outsider

It really helped me when I saw an old Swedish bible, and saw the old way of writing ä was an a with a little 'e' above it - that's what ä is, a vowel that is a combination of a and e. Much like å is a combination of a and o, and ö is a combination of o and e.

The episode on The Liver King was fun. I have heard $100k cited as the amount of money people spend on drugs to get ready for a year's Mr Olympia competition, so just lol that he spent even more than that. Though I suppose that's what it takes to go from "really jacked for a normal person" to "comic book character jacked" in a short amount of time.
