Pretty solid, I just wish Rob could fully make the leap from just being a radlib though. Also, what’s with the way he pronounces “extremist”. Ex-trem-ist? Very odd lol.

    I think watching all this play out for real and him getting teargassed almost every night for almost three months has radicalized him quite a bit. Also while Bellingcat has it's ties with the CIA it's cool seeing him use those connections to identify and and file a civil suit on the chud that broke his hand. Having a guy with access to the broader intelligence community actually on our side could be useful for a lot of reasons.

    IMO Robert has been pretty ancom for a while but hiding his power levels. You can watch the anticapitalism grow over the course of Behind the Bastards. His accent is silly because he grew up in Oklahoma/Texas. Midwesterners say stuff weird. My mother says "worsh" instead of wash.

    Listening to this now. Holy shit is this realistic and well thought out. I feel like every leftist in the US should listen to this in order to get a good idea of what’s coming and how to prepare.

    yeah that pronunciation is weird, we're not talking about people who are pro-fingers and toes here
