Revolutions by Mike Duncan has the good stuff

hmmm what else. i go back and listen to Mic Dicta and just ponder how they kept it going until somebody destroyed their joint Twitter randomly. best most disorganized podcast

*Behind the Bastards is good as well, a little heavy on inane humor but whatever helps I guess

have you also been hate-browsing ycombinator news lol? don't think anyone is optimistic about libertarian solutions to monopolies in tech hardyharharrr. if you use android look into Fdroid & LineageOS should you not already be aware of them

i figured, but if i asked for books and i got a reply which kinda parses as "listen to a chud podcast while the world dies" i'd be displeased👽

i get confused by a lot of weird takes without having a good background in shitty-but-popular historians. like imagine not knowing about the Black Book of Communism when somebody starts telling you Stalin was worse than Hitler. it's just easier to map their "tree of beliefs" as one of my professors once called it

also Revolutions podcast is pretty great I'm sure they've got some material on WWI events but they cover uprisings in general :) good luck in your quest for knowledge

He seems to admire Winston Churchill despite going over what a raging alcoholic bastard he was in his "inebriated history" episode. No comment on that. I do like the idea of podcasting about different historical figures who were absolutely off their tits, he mentions Dr. Feelgood, everybody's favorite bourgeois pharmacist
