I appreciate that you’d take the flack to plainly call out modern fascists, without making it your whole thing. The bots and creatures will inevitably come for you for it, but they’re legitimately well argued episodes, whether you agree or not. Calling out the stupidest and most bankrupt beliefs of our time will never be well appreciated in its time, but it’s comforting to know that some people will do it anyway, because we need them to. Thank you for your work, your spine, and your commitment to intellectual honesty and self reflection. If we ever meet, I’ll buy you a beer. Or write a book - I’d buy that too.
Guaranteed to piss off a conspiracy theorist. And for this alone, I’d give it five stars. However, it is also informative and Very entertaining. Glad to see that the presenter is doing their part to promote critical thinking.
Well researched and beautifully presented, Historical Blindness is one podcast I never miss!
I love this podcast. To be fair, I share many of the same beliefs as the creator. Not so much politically (although I agree a lot with that as well), but more as a historian that appreciates someone who is working to connect the dots and help explain some of mystery behind the subject of history in an era of blinders and false news. Listen with an open mind, make your own decisions, and don’t be afraid of exposing yourself to ideas that are well-researched just because of your previous conceptions of the way things are/were. Please listen and give yourself a chance to enter a greater dialogue.
