revolut1917

someone posted a collection of RSS feeds for left wing podcasts on this site a little while ago, i dont have it saved tho but it was cool

ok fair enough. i still have some misgivings abt his credentials and cba with a book promo episode but that sounds better than i assumed it would be.

tried to enjoy it but not really that funny

thx

i have just now realised that Liz is from TrueAnon and Liv is from QAnonAnonymous, which are two different podcasts. fml lol

smh so i guess i've been conflating those two podcasts for years without realising it lol

it just looks like repackaged bernieism to me and we all know how that went. The promotional materials seem to praise the founding fathers as well.

i went and had a further look at the book:

“Nearly two hundred fifty years ago, the men who founded America made a fundamental break not just from their old country but from the past—casting off an order that had subjugated them with worn and weak ideas for the promise of true self-governance and greater prosperity in a new republic,” Nwanevu writes. “With exactly their sense of purpose and even higher, more righteous ambitions for America than they themselves had, we should do the same now⁠—work as hard as we can in the decades ahead to ‘institute new Government’ for the benefit of all and not just the few.”

lmao praising the slaveowning founding fathers and their "righteous ambitions for america" is not it

i reiterate

contributing editor at The New Republic and a columnist at The Guardian

why should anyone want to amend the American constitution at all, can we fix israel by "radically amending the basic law" too?

supporting HTS taking over Syria

jesus christ

Brace is funny but also kinda annoying when he's on CTH. I really like Liv Agar tho.

nah it's the most recent ep with Osita Nwanevu, who is a contributing editor at The New Republic and a columnist at The Guardian according to his website. book's tagline is "Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding" which sounds like some dull constitution-worshipping shit. having Sirota on was completely awful too. i listened to Chapo for slop not for book promotional interviews.
