Just heard the most ridiculous and jarring ad on #behindTheBastards to date. There was an ad for a Ronald Reagan commemorative coin, during the ad break for Behind the Bastards.

It's so completely antithetical to everything that BTB is about. I can picture Robert cackling maniacally over this one

I'm listening to the latest #BehindTheBastards on Sam Bankman Fried and it turns out he was basically trying to become VaultTech.

He was talking about buying the island of Nauru to make it a shelter for Effective Altruists.

I am seriously not kidding.

@clive "Behind the bastards" recently did an episode on that for children's drawing books, which I find even more sinister considering kids at drawing book ages cannot protect themselves from this crap.

@popcornreel This was recommended earlier today on the #behindTheBastards subreddit

The latest #BehindTheBastards mentions that Julius Streicher married a woman named Kunigunde which Robert mentions he had never heard before, and that's actually the name of a character in the #Voltaire novel Candide. Although in that book it's spelled Cunégonde and being Voltaire might have been a really crude pun.

I'm not sure I have fully quantified my thoughts here but the latest episodes from #BehindTheBastards on kidnappings and how the memetic and viral nature of kidnapping content have broken our collective ape brains is so damn good.

Like this is a conversation I have with people constantly in a lot of contexts but definitely intersects strongly with #urbanism.

Constant misunderstanding of fear and crime politics leads to people making bad choices! And there are people out there who get rich off of this stuff! (Surprise: this is a post about car companies too).

The whole bit in the #BehindTheBastards episodes about Libertarian sea nations and how one group tried to set up their own colony but the Tonginese government chased them out just makes me think of this.

@lpah4all @taylorlorenz There was a two-part episode (Ancient Genocide: the War on Carthage) on the podcast Behind the Bastards about genocide that was also really good. I learned a lot of things and discovered some misconceptions that I had.

In 2005 former (or current according to himself) World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer was granted an Icelandic citizenship.

I was inspired by an episode of #BehindTheBastards about Fischer which explained much about his antisemitic views but left open the question why Icelanders wanted him after all that had gone before. This episode tries to answer that question.

I'm listening to the #BehindTheBastards episodes on Qaddafi and he mentions this moment.

Being a fluff piece this fails to mention that when he did this with the bulldozer the wall collapsed outwards onto the crowd that was watching. Which the show compares to something Homer Simpson would do.

@Mina Something similar is happening at Twitter [Behind the Bastards] Part One: Elon Musk is Being Sued, LMAO #behindTheBastards

This most recent Behind The Bastards episode is one of those real good "let this radicalize you" episodes.
