I highly recommend this podcast. He does a great job of differentiating what the different authors say and what are his own opinions. And he adds corrections to the episode when listeners point out his mistakes. The French, Haitian, 1848, and Russian revolutions really changed how I see the world. Be warned, they can hit dozens of episodes each.

The American and English civil war are OK, not Duncan’s fault, it’s just the non Anglo revolutions were better material IMO.

Did you see the cookie rocket debate? Very entertaining stuff.

most cringey clickbait thumbnails I’ve ever seen.

My man, is this the first YT thumbnail you’ve ever seen?

he’s for sure not someone the Joe Rogan crowd would be interested in watching.

Why, because popular YT formats are something the millions of normie Joe Rogan viewers all despise? I don’t know man, you do you. But popular formats by definition are something the masses are comfortable with.

The same Destiny that has alienated his personal relationships with everyone who’s ever cared about him?

The same Destiny threw a debate with shithead Ben Shapiro because he wanted to get invited back?

At least Joe Rogan believes the shit he shovels, Destiny is a pure grifter searching for more and more fame.

J Aubrey is a very entertaining long format YTer that explains many of the internet’s worst villains. His take down of grifters don’t target Joe himself, but help inoculate people from the “natural” hierarchies that dominate conservative thought.

Public opinions ain’t censorship bro.

Instead of writing paragraphs complaining that users and sourcing widely understood facts, you can spend a few seconds searching yourself.

It’s well known the Israeli government moved troops to the west bank to help settlers and many Israeli allies warned of chatter of an impending attack.

Here’s one story but it’s behind a paywall: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-11-20/ty-article-magazine/.premium/the-women-soldiers-who-warned-of-a-pending-hamas-attack-and-were-ignored/0000018b-ed76-d4f0-affb-eff740150000

Also Israel has delivered cash to hamas to prop them up to justify further violence against Palestinians: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/10/world/middleeast/israel-qatar-money-prop-up-hamas.html

Democrats have a messaging problem, it’s confusing the way Biden is going about debt relief.

Biden should pause student debt payments and interest while he’s president. He can tell the press congress needs to pass a reform bill first before payments restart.

It’s a simple idea, and let the courts try an micromanage a presidency.

Netenyahu allowed the deaths of over a thousand Israelis because he weakened the border. In ancient times, if any leader had a collosal fuck like this, they would be killed for treason.

Now idiots like yourself concern troll online so you can keep this fantasy that Netenyahu protects his own people.

You have a shitty memory. Israelis themselves make the argument that Netenyahu started this by weakening the Gaza border before Oct 7th to reinforce troops in the West Bank. Do Palestinians in the West Bank have the right to defend themselves?

And bombing a diplomatic building is a war crime, which Israel did when they targeted the Iranian consulate.

She was killed. The IDF fired three separate missiles and each one hit a vehicle in the convoy.

You understand there is no such thing as a median voter. They are only issues and most voters have one or two issues they won’t compromise on. Biden is alienating younger and Muslim voters. If Biden was converting 1+ Trump voter for every voter he loses, you might have a point. But there is no evidence he is netting votes from this. That makes no sense in an election that’s fighting against authoritarianism.

Why can’t we agree Biden that needs to go all out to win this thing?

Worthy and unworthy voters…

Normally Biden wouldn’t have much incentive to listen to millions of his voters during an election year?

DC brainrot has entered the chat.

So many people on lemmy and reddit lambasted ignorant social media posts for not waiting until the facts came out, only to repeat false IDF claims like it’s the gospel.

Where are those IDF shills now?

But Israel has always pushed the envelope and always been rewarded from daddy USA. Netanyahu, thinks he can do what he wants and he’s never been wrong.

Yes, Biden should communicate to independents how he can solve the problem.

Regular voters hear headlines like “Millions Illegally Crossed” and “Undocumented Crime Wave”; they naturally blame Biden because he’s an incumbent. The recent Gallup polls are alarming.

Biden should have focused American businesses that hired illegals, not punishing migrants for wanting a better life. Trump along with many GOP donors have hired illegals in the past, go after them and you win the debate.

You can’t negotiate with a cult leader and his cult.
