Love the podfacts, but Robert's rant about Syria still weird me out. Like, yes, Assad is a monster, but America getting it's dick in and doing more Imperialism isn't working so well in Lybia.

GunFondler42069 posted:I'll get to him at some point, but to be honest he's just not someone who interests me very much. It's an inevitable reality of the show that my content is heavily driven by who I want to spend 10-30 hours reading and writing about. The workload of this series (and my other podcasts + bellingcat) is pretty intense, and it can be crushing if I'm researching and writing anything other than the person I happen to be most interested in at that moment. I understand perfectly. I just really hate Davis. For decades he had a memorial plate in Downtown Montreal because turns out he escaped to my city after he lost the Civil War. GunFondler42069 posted:Dave and I are talking about it, so far it's been difficult to make our schedules work. My dream is to do the gigantic Kissinger series with him, but asking someone to sit for like 4 episodes is quite a request and there's really no way to do Kissinger with less. Oh yeah, that checks out.

I feel like I'm between 5-10 episodes behind because I follow so many podcasts. I started the Black Panther episode on my way home from our bi-Weekly D&D game and it's a strong start so far.

One of the big problems is there are just so many Bastards. Like I could pitch Maurice Duplessis, PM of Quebec for a long time and he was so bad his reign is now officially known in history books as "The Great Darkness". But when you compare him to dictators and such he kind of pales in comparison.

teen witch posted:This conversation is crucial and so crucial that it should maybe be had...elsewhere. Probably. It's just so frustrating, you know? It's like a self-inflicted Stand Alone Complex. Bernie Bros where cynically mad eup by the Hillary campaign and 2016 and somehow a large amount of people have convinced themselves they are real and react to every slightly negative comment from the left as if they were harassment attacks from the mythical Bernie Bros. It's the liberal equivalent of gang-stalking.

I remember someone in C-SPAM claiming Robert was a CIA asset because of his association to Bellingcat. Or maybe they were talking about another Robert Evans. In any case, people say things.

GunFondler42069 posted:This was before either of us had really traveled to the Middle East or given much thought to Palestine. It's easy to underestimate how incredibly propagandized Israel is to most American, and how most of us didn't know any better until it was all revealed. For me it was a conference during Human Sciences week at my Cegep (this weird thing between high school and university we have here in Quebec) where a journalist exposed how Palestinians lived and how she couldn't show any of it on air. She worked for Radio-Canada, our national tv channel. This must have been in 2005-2006.

Zeniel posted:Just chiming in to say, been enjoying the podcast, and started reading King Leopold's Ghost. I've always a real fascination with the Congo Free State. You'd think one of the greatest atrocities in human history would be more widely known. I guess in many ways it was overshadowed by several other atrocities. The end of the 19th century was a really dark time. I'm surprised there isn't a big budget oscar-bait Hollywood biopic about the two white guys who helped stop it.

Dapper_Swindler posted:its probably because it would be too "boring". plus no real satisfying ending(things continued to be hosed an only got somewhat better in the last like decade or so) or way to make any white characters full on "good guys"(at least in the 21st century sensibilities) i could see a one shot show thing like Chernobyl though. That's never stopped Hollywood before.

It's actually a really good invention, and it would've been great if we'd had it 20 years ago, because a lot of innocent people - men, women, children - would still be alive today if we had it then.

It's more like he's very pro-intervention when it has a long history of making things worse. BTB is a pretty good podcast, but Robert has major blinders when it comes to Foreign Policy due to his background. Comes with listening to anyone really: you gotta know their biases and sutff

Mr. Fix It posted:i really don't know how you could interpret robert as being "very pro-intervention". really hating assad and really believing that obama hosed up handling syria doesn't necessitate believing the us should invade and regime change. you can't be pro rojava and in favor of that, imho, since rojava would definitely disappear in any major intervention. There at least one time he goes on a huge rant about people who thought they shouldn't have intervened, as well as comment he made about Venezuela and stuff. It's a thing.

Bust Rodd posted:I just listened to the QAnon episode of WYE and the inherent value of psychologically profiling the cult leaders is that if you determine what specific insecurities they are preying on, reverse engineering a therapeutic strategy becomes dramatically easier. I feel like the guest was trying to communicate that but it didn’t come out 100% clear. A very good episode and probably the most unsettling one to date. A gold watch from his CIA handlers.
