      Between chunk falling for fascist crime propaganda again and again and kasparovian getting increasingly angry at the existence of trans people and science, it was bound to complete eventually. I would even consider it sealed as early as this fall when they covered the aurora Colorado landlord fear mongering about gangs.

      It was only a matter of time with Cenk in particular. He liked populism without looking into any theory and that tends to lead people down a far-right path with how heavily pushed that perspective is. That’s why a Bernie-Trump pipeline exists in the first place.

        Always gotten a persistent ick from them over the name. Having an Armenian main presenter made it weird - like I didn’t know if it was a sign that it was just a name, or a sign that something was very very wrong.

        I’m from and in Lebanon. The name didn’t immediately register as تركيا الفتاة (“Turkey the Young” - direct translation but not necessarily intuitively the same). Their legacy here is mostly Jamal Basha "السفاح", literally “The Butcher”. My understanding is that in Turkey they’re looked back on as more of a modernizing reform movement.
