That sub stinks, I remember one of the mods is also a mod of neoliberal and another one defended the coup in Bolivia. We have the best anarchists here, right on hexbear. :reddit-logo:
Robert Evans, known anarchist, defended US intervention in Syria and Libya. Said Maduro “has to go.” And basically took no sides on the Bolivian coup. Wouldn’t even admit that it was a coup. Works at bellingcat, the CIA cutout. I’m convinced dude is an op
Well first of all, owning machetes is only a personality trait if you’re Puerto Rican
I grew up in the mountains in California and machetes are very much a part of my identity, and Robert is from Texas and now lives in the PNW. What I'm saying is I understand the fascination with machetes.
I mean, I own my family's ancestral machete though
Probably has some magic powers or something seeing as how it's over a hundred years old and was present when those Puerto Rican nationalists tried to kill Truman
Yeah he seems like more or less a standard radlib in his takes on foreign policy, AES, etc. I see him as mostly an entertainer and a decent writer and not much more. I mean he worked at Cracked for god's sake lmao

So what are the ramifications of that? I like a lot of the stuff from his podcasts

Second of all, it's okay to like a thing as long as your aware of it's biases and intent
Like, so I think Robert Evans is a fed? Probably not
Does he get taken advantage of by the feds to push a particular narrative of the world? Most likely
Just enjoy the episodes about doctors giving people extra testicles and be very wary about the rest

It's cooler than being a sword guy at least.
True

I have a bayonet from the civil war that has confederate blood rust stains.

Lincoln was my grea great grand uncle or some shit.

So did our boy Cody though. I hold out hope that Cody will turn into a Maoist or something cool and drag Robert and Katy left with him
they both seemed like they were drifting leftward to the point where it was making the other hosts on Worst Year Ever uncomfortable
this was like during the height of unrest last year
I think they both have a somewhat comfortable position and don't have that impetus to go further, Rob makes $250,000 a YEAR
This is basically all true, but he did eventually come around on Bolivia iirc
