    I went back and listened to the first episode of BTB after people recommended it. The first episode is about that terrible tyrant Stalin. I decided to just skip to a random part of the episode. They were discussing a book called something like "Psychology of Tyrants: Hitler, Stalin, and Genghis Khan."

    And their entire discussion was about how Stalin supposedly made all the top soviet officials go on benders with him, every single night. Hahaha, all these Russians drunk on vodka all the time. And then they said Stalin was pathologically afraid of being alone. And then they said it was actually a test of loyalty. And then they said "Stalin died miserable, paranoid, and alone. That's what you get for genociding 30 million people." And that's when I decided not to listen to the podcast anymore. If I wanted to hear the lies of Western "historians" like robert conquest I could watch documentaries on Netflix.
