Honestly I kinda want a history of the modern poltical children's book grift. And no I don't just mean a book that discusses something that can be considered poltical. I mean the books that are written by people who are not normally children's writers and connects to some form of culture war bs that would only appeal to the parents buying the books and not the kids
@@gibbcharron3469 that and there is a weird shared universe of conservative childrens books. Kirk Cameron and few other rightwingers have wrritten for it.
@@yourlocalnerd7788 Yeah, I remember Zoe Bee’s video about that sort of thing. I agree, it’d be interesting to hear Robert’s in-depth take on the ‘genre’.
Essentially yes, as far as most of the population is concerned. They think the Democrat party is "left". The right wing calls anything they don't like "communist". It's maddening.
Oh it’s a mess here. Our right is so extreme that if you think minorities deserve rights or that any sort of regulation belongs in capitalism or that basic social welfare safety nets are worth exploring that just one of those basic stances puts you to the left of their “moderates”. Which then causes the “left” here to be an enormous span of disconnected ideologies ranging from actual progressive aspirations to “we love the status quo”. Which then makes our ability to coordinate a f*cking mess because many under the Democrat banner have no actual interest in change so much as they’re riding on a platform of not wanting to go back to olde timey racism. And that’s just our voters and pundits. The politicians are an even bigger mess because while we refer to it as a democratic republic, it’s functionally absolutely a plutocracy. Like “well we don’t call it that though” is the only argument you can make against that.
It's a pretty ingenious little scheme. We have two right wing parties, but by labeling the Democrats as extreme communist leftists, it frames anything left wing of Biden as beyond the pale, and it allows the extreme far right to pretend to be your average conservative. We've basically moved the 'center' so that a centrist position is between the extreme far right, and the center right, with any actual leftism being crazy extremism, because I mean, the Democrats are already _so_ far after all.
They’re uploading the new episodes when they air alongside the old episodes, which is mixing things up. They didn’t have a TH-cam channel (or had one but didn’t use it) until last year if I recall correctly, but have years worth of episodes
22:30 In case anyone was wondering, the German word is 'backpfeifengesicht'
One of my favorite words in the whole language!

Ah, like Matt Walsh’s BS? Sure, that’d be an interesting history to learn about!

"drumpf shoulda been played out 2 years ago", said 2 years ago. i saw a little t big R trump just yesterday. kill me now
14:42 I did indeed take my headphones out to recover from weave bannon
23:15 Truly a phenomenal display of feminism and allyship ✊
really putting the Krass in krassenstein.
If Jacob Wohl was a poor kid who stole $100 out of someone's pocket, he would have gotten a worse consequence.
The Internet Today guys have been mining the Wohl mine for content for quite a while and it just got dumber.
25:15 oh god… if only it fucking stayed that way
'Left Wing' just means nothing in the US, does it?
Essentially yes, as far as most of the population is concerned. They think the Democrat party is "left". The right wing calls anything they don't like "communist".
It's maddening.
Cold War and COINTELPRO did a number on actual leftists in the US.

Are these podcasters purposefully imitating the show Archer during this episode?
as in the one on hulu?
robert sounds almost exactly the guy who plays Barry in archer and 1/2 the cast of aqua teen hunger force
Why are all the podcasts uploaded with such randomness? Nothing is chronological. It's seriously distressing to my condition
They are, these are just old episodes
They’re uploading the new episodes when they air alongside the old episodes, which is mixing things up. They didn’t have a TH-cam channel (or had one but didn’t use it) until last year if I recall correctly, but have years worth of episodes
Hopefully, they'll be organizing the episodes once they get up to current
OCD?
