And I use "normal" in scare quotes, because, according to whom, exactly, capitalism? Society? Yourself? Some of the "weirdest" people I've met in my life where also some of the nicest and actually helped me out. People you'd peg as "normal"? Well I've had my fair share of shit with them. I'm not about to put up with some reddit lord trying to score points with cool kid podcasters by throwing people who feed the homeless under the bus, fuck you very much.

I think somebody who is going to pick up a rifle for them ought to be doing vastly more research than we had done back then to understand what exactly they're fighting for

I do believe he’s talked in a more principled fashion about Syria. But it’s fucking podcast so I couldn’t tell you when.

I'm actually okay with Kurds working with USA, if they had advanced communism as a result. And currently it doesn't look like that.
