Hi Mr. Anthony I love your podcast about hats
The Dollop is my favorite podcast. I am about a year behind but it is the podcast I listen to to wind down a bit before going to sleep. That's not to say it's boring but that it puts me in a pretty good mood while still being interesting.
This isn't even the man's first PPB. There's been a few over the years.
Dave, if you're here, know that we love you but also I want your take on the Little Dum Dum Club breakup
Listening to The Dollop and hearing him slowly radicalizing himself was fun
Dave still has some lib brain worms about Ukraine and Russia, but his heart is definitely in the right place. Gareth has his faults too, but a couple times now he's basically looked into the camera and told the audience they need to kill a billionaire. And I respect using your platform like that.
The end of that Lucy Parsons episode when he says that she is making a lot of sense with that quote about learning to use dynamite.
I think if learning history doesn’t radicalize someone into a leftist they either pretended to do the reading or they’re actually insane and shouldn’t be trusted.
It's like atheists being the only people who actually know what's in the Bible.
If americannhistory hasn't been very carefully curated it's pretty hard to come away with a conclusion that far off from John Browns final words.
The weird Generative A.I. "I'm going to post myself is a the super-CHAD video game looking hero" has real "14 boy posting their fanfic of themselves on Tumblr" energy.
Also very Glad the Dollop has overtly been more pro-Left over the course of the years. I'm more than certain it has led many a lib to see the light of basic leftist thought. I think a lot of 2016-style "I listen to podcasts at my bullshit job" style liberals to more leftie thinking. I'm not talking the libs that run the racism factory, more so the people who go on autopilot and try to disassociate while they work there because they don't have much upward opportunity style libs.
I started registering to the dollop from the beginning and it's hilarious in like episode 6 when he's like "we aren't going to do much about politics"
Smash cut to their multi episode 400th special on Reagan.
Turns out it's impossible to do a history podcast without involving politics lol. Also impossible to do one without radicalizing yourself.
Same thing happened with Mike Duncan and his Revolutions podcast now that I think of it. (I know I heard he's still affected by lib brain worms, he pretty clearly ended the podcast way lefter than when he started it.)
Nothing like seeing comrade pigpoopballs outside of Hexbear, lol.
The day we see a “progressive democrat” call a CHUD a “treathog” is the day Lenin will rise from his grave and lead the glorious revolution.
