Premium Episode 75: The American PR Firm Promoting Argentina's Dictatorship feat Erin Gallagher

dont pay any attention to people saying they need more context. its fucking 70s argentina, you would need a whole separate episode to fully explain the context. if people want more context they can go research it themselves then come back and re-listen

truly brilliant sound design on this one.

There is a reddit support group for family members who get involved with QAnon, sounds like she might be on her way to getting red-pilled. I really hope not, but here's link: https://www.reddit.com/r/QAnonCasualties/ Also, my husband and I wrote an article about QAnon that may or may not be helpful, here's the link: https://medium.com/@darshanstevens/qanon-the-trumpist-cult-of-the-absurd-18bb8d1c2e5f

Apparently there was a blue on here the other day, darn I missed it 🤣 These guys nail it over and over again, so a minor hiccup regarding lack of background on a topic isn’t worth mentioning, particularly in light of value for money of premium content. Keep it up fellas 👍

Thank you for listening. Sorry that some other dude had to get all angry about it. I know that you try and put out the best show you can and wanted to give feedback. I love the show and what you guys do, keep it up!

Guys, my boyfriend's mom (who lives in Germany) has started losing her mind recently with the Covid stuff happening. She is now talking about Bill Gates, posts photos of herself with a mask that says "Angst steuert Massen" which basically means something along the lines that it's easy to control masses who are afraid. Now she has cancelled her local newspaper, which she's been getting for decades and has announced she will get all her news from YouTube, which rings all my alarm bells. Her partner died from cancer about a year ago so she already spends a lot of time by herself but I'm afraid this Covid conspiracy stuff is going to isolate her even more and my boyfriend has no idea what to do. Do you have any sources or anything of what people can do when their boomer parents start going down a rabbit hole? We're really worried about her and I don't know where to turn.

Those giving us feedback on additional context: will do! In the future we will attempt to provide a bit more framework. But please, if you don't feel you're getting your money's worth, cancel your subscription. The last thing we want to do is make you pay for something you don't like. Lots of other stuff out there!

I wasn't as mad as this other guy, just disappointed and confused. $5 may not be a lot to you, but it's not nothing. Especially during this pandemic. And it would not have taken much explanation, maybe 1 or 2 minutes of context. That's it. And it is okay to be dissatisfied, just because you dont feel that way, doesn't make your opinion any more/less legitimate.

Lmao, how can someone be this mad over paying $5 for content, like holy shit. Get over yourself.

Giant Gorg

I mean yes.

you can't do that on robitussin

no

you can't do that on robitussin

Am I the only one that was confused by this episode? It seems to jump into a discussion that isn't really properly introduced. It also presupposes the listener has an understanding of Argentina history that I guess I just don't have :(

Jurney Metatron

fixed! our mistake.

So Gerry Ford, Republican speaker of the house and then republican vice President after Spiro Agnew resigned and became a Republican President after Nixon resigned is a Democrat?
