Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Yeah, maybe there's a connection, I wouldn't necessarily organize with him. I skip the anti-communist stuff and have learned a ton of different historical figures and how they've influenced society. I enjoy a good deconstruction of monsters that are held up as saints.
I don't hate the guy I just don't find him funny anymore. And he always seems to reach really, really hard to attack communists even if it's not called for or relevant.
Maybe he'll become less shitty now that the threat is outside his door and the money tap to Bellingcat is cut off.
Fair. When's the last time you listened to it? I haven't heard anything egregious in a good long while, but I'm sure I've missed a decent amount too.
been listening to It Could Happen here semi-regularly since the election just to get their takes.
i suppose it's less Evans and more the other hosts that love dunking on communism whenever possible.
I do remember Evans making pointless comments on BTB. usually just throwing "Stalin" or "Mao" in as frequently as fucking Hitler.
Maybe it was just me but when something "authoritarian" came up it seems 90% of the time he would connect it with a socialist state instead of like, every other possible state that did worse shit
So wait, what do you like about this guy or his content?
Yuck. I only listen to it can happen here once in a while if I've run out of better stuff. The ones I've caught were some pretty great reporting though. One of the hosts (English accent guy, I forget) traveled with migrants trying to get to the US through South/Central America.
I haven't heard much of this on BtB lately, but I do have an uncanny ability to tune things out.
Either way, there's plenty of better stuff out there.
Yeah, James Stout is extremely legit. He's done a bunch of on the ground praxis relating to migrants, and he's a hell of a journalist.
The material they cover on the pod is often interesting but I hate the banter, kind of hate the format where it's Robert explaining stuff to some clueless liberal dork from Twitter who doesn't know anything about the topic and really, REALLY hate the ads on his network. The pods advertised on those adbreaks should classify as cognitohazards
