ignore them. They can't concieve of left-liberals criticizing democrats while still being left
ignore who?
dipshits begging tim to go full conservative
because they don't give a fuck about beliefs, they just want as many popular names on """their side"""
yah some people are like that.
its pretty funny to see tim rant repeatedly how democrats are insane, but then says 'im still voting democrat'
myself, i don't think i would ever trust Tim's opinion about political questions, i listened to him talk around the point of several things and then just said "this guy is just a noise box and not worth my time"
yeah there are lot of times where i just use him as background noise
other times to listen to him
but those are usually his experiences at Vice
I prefer actually entertaining background noise, like history or game stream clips
dito
been listening to alot of Critical Role for that, turns out though 3+ hours a day isn't really that much for background noise
also i find those reddit readers kinda good for background noise, not proud of that one.
I get it, it's like putting on an audiobook of short stories
yah more or less
Extra History has been my main staple
I have them in the background allot while doing chores and whatnot
@Jokerfaic even after that videogames cause violence bs they pulled?
the extra credit guys seemed to be good at first, but last time i listened to them i was like "yah these guys have jumped the railing, not gonna spend any time with them anymore"
I dissagree
how so?
was their irish famen one that made me stop trusting them.
they wanted to say that somehow it was free markets that caused said famen.
.... no... that's not at all what was said
Ireland was a net exporter of food during the famine
I have no idea where you got that
It was just potatoes
I don't remember all of what was said, but if you like i can go back and listen to it again to point said points out.
they mentioned that the prevailing factions in british parliament were split over market philosophies
they never said "free market caused starvation"
it's gonna take like 50 min for me to go back over all of it.
more then that really
take your time, you won't find any anti-capitalist rhetoric
that just wasn't a point mentioned. ever.
all i remember is there was an undertone at the time that mixed with everything else they were doing at the time got me to stop listening to them.
the larges lesson that should have been learned form all of that is "this is why you diversify your crops"
they laid out very plainly that while the root cause of the famine was a biological malady, it was exaserbated by apathy and general contempt for Catholic Irish in Protestant British parliament
and also, as a side note, a desire to not interfere with market forces
that's not saying "free markets killed people"
