The :citations-needed: boys seem like good kids, but listening to them, they haven't completely eliminated their :LIB: :brainworms: .

One manifestation of this is that they seem to be deliberately avoiding a China episode, on the eve of a new cold war and in the middle of a propaganda storm. It appears that Adam has written many articles debunking anti-China stuff, so it doesn't look like it's bias. Please offer your speculation on why there's no episode of CN about it in the comments.

Anyone got any thoughts?

      When you introduce someone to communism, you would never start by talking about Stalin. You work gradually from Che Guevara

          DPRK is a weird little hermit country that keeps its own population hostage, but nobody is really scared of it.

          China is a global empire that has infiltrated the US and is keeping us hostage, so we are right to fear them.

          China is much higher stakes. Fear is much stronger than some vague concern for human rights in a country they can't place on a map.
