Welcome to the C-SPAM Behind The Bastards podcast thread. Behind the Bastards is a podcast hosted by Robert "Hard R" Evans, fellow goon (wow!), writer for the famous award winning British fact-checking website Bellingcat and all around interesting guy. Some of you might remember him from last summer when he reported on the protests in This is the C-SPAM thread to talk about the BtB podcast and anything related to the wider BtB universe. Feel free to share any insightful and funny commentary related to BtB in this thread. Host: Robert "Hard R" Evans Bellingcat: https://www.bellingcat.com/author/robertevans/ Previous work at Cracked: https://www.cracked.com/members/PurpleTowel Twitter: https://twitter.com/IwriteOK Website: https://www.behindthebastards.com  Official podcast description "Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist." If you think there is something missing in the OP please post suggestions and I'll add it to the OP. Maybe some starter episodes? And as always remember to be nice, follow the rules and stay positive. Jon Pod Van Damm has issued a correction as of 05:04 on Jun 19, 2021 |

What's everyone favorite Robert Evans post? Mine are a toss up between when he defended the nazi "journalist", his jihadi friends in syria that torture, rape, and murder, and and also all the posts about how it's good the US destabilized countries by invading them.

I empathize a bit with having had bad takes in the past because a lot has changed since 2012 and I'm acutely aware that my own political understanding and opinions were poo poo at the time, but at least I wasn't paid to write about them.

AnimeIsTrash posted:What's everyone favorite Robert Evans post? can someone source these again it's weird because on the podcast he's as anti-CIA as the average CSPAM poster so his occasional bouts of being pro-intervention are weird. idk he's more like a useful idiot than an actual psyop.

AnimeIsTrash posted:https://twitter.com/IwriteOK/status/1391839815822299137 I don't get how going "this is unclear" "it's not apparent what happened" is blaming Palestineans in this. It's the problem with viral videos like these that they're stripped of context - so you have the Israeli video being shared of an innocent driver getting attacked by Palestineans, and vice versa you get a Palestinean video of a driver ramming pedestrians.

Lmao the whole point is to obfuscate the issue and turn the situation into a big ambiguous mess where “who can say who was to blame” and then it just so happens that the driver that used their automobile to run people over gets no charges and faces no consequences because “who can say” It’s the same poo poo as doing frame by frame analysis of a police shooting. The point isn’t to get at the truth. The point is to run cover for the state sanctioned murderer

I don't follow this guy on twitter or his career in general, but after listening to his podcast, I will say that he has an incredible talent for finding punishingly vapid succlib types to co-host his podcast with, to the point that I stopped listening after 5 or 6 episodes. Cohost after listening to a lengthy description of a brutal ethnic purge ordered by a dictator: "Wow, that's like, so problematic." Cohost after being read several paragraphs about Hitler physically abusing to his girlfriend: "Jeez, Hitler. Women issues much?? Big. Yikes."

I really don’t think Evans was in Seattle but I’ve seen plenty of footage of him in Portland. Both cities suck roughly equally, just in different ways, so it’s impossible to te... wait wrong line
