podcasts

They're NATO liberals, the host talks about directly working with federal law enforcement, the host unironically uses the word "tankie", he's written for bellingcat and defends them when people correctly point out they're an NED cut-out, and he "adopted" a teenager he found at protests who moved in with him and started co-hosting his podcast with him.

It's fine when it's episodes about weird American jerks

Like that guy what used to give people goat testicle transplants

But basically anytime it goes on about anyone outside of the Imperial Core, he goes full on LIB

Also, his jokes about machetes are boring and my machete collection is cooler anyway

The behind the bastards subreddit (which I think is connected to the show) was censoring posts about the Zionist entity's ongoing genocide and they seem to be NATO shills overall. Robert Evans is a fed (or at the very least fed-adjacent). If I were you I'd pick something else.

As well as everything else that's already been said, there's just a shitload of ads in this podcast.

Apparently Fedvans has even done ad reads for Betterhelp, the incredibly shady "mental health" company.

Nobody's mentioned that Fedvan's constant attempts at humor are intolerable. I listen to an episode now and then if it's on someone I truly hate, and he just says something crass and/or horny with a tone of voice that means he's being funny. I hate it.

Robert Fedvans hasn't seen a contemporary american coup that he didn't like. He has defended the destruction of Libya, Euromaidan, the Bolivia coup, is against every counter-imperialist force out there... He's a lib, and a real shitty one.

I listened to the Hitler episode and they didnt mention the spartacist uprising once.

The only time I tried to listen I didn't like the vibe of the lead dude, especially for putting his face up front like "look at ME, this is MY show about ME"

I had no idea they were actually fucking feds but I'm delighted to have vibed him correctly

I know the host is a progressive but yeah definitely lib. I'm curious if it gets better. I only listened to one episode before covid but they said something so amazingly lib & NED-approved & uneducated which, after waiting to make sure it didnt seem like a bit they were doing, I turned it off and never returned.

If a story about a figure is funny, they will include it as fact even if there is no evidence for the claim. Like how Stalin definitely routinely used tomatoes as whoopie cushions.

Which just kinda shows that they will believe every little bit of propaganda that comes their way.

You could give Respect The Dead a shot, it's a similar idea to Behind The Bastards but I find it to be a lot funnier and less lib.

Liberal shit. Huffing their own farts. No substance.

Laughing at their own shit jokes constantly.

The fed host did an episode about a libertarian theme park where the owner did SA stuff. He treated it as a joke to laugh about. Really says it all.

I know I'm in the minority around here, but I enjoy it, I don't agree with him all the time, but I don't agree with most people most of the time.

Fwiw, I also enjoy the Dollop and Even More News (speaking of old cracked people).

You just kind of have to take it all with a grain of salt and assume that there's some bias and mistakes built in. That's not any different than I would treat any other online content though.

It's mostly fine and I find it entertaining, but the ads are really annoying. The Marxist complaining about him always seems a little bad faith to me because it's almost always about how he used to write for bellingcat and not about the actual content.

Their daily news show is cringe as fuck though.

I was in the same position as you with Revolutions completely done and Blowback up to date. Check out People's History of Ideas, a Marxist historian that covers the Chinese Communist revolution. It is amazing.
