I've been slowly working through Season 3 of Blowback and every single episode leaves me thinking "what the fuck" (hexbear.net)

You can repeat "US imperialism bad" as much as you want but learning the play by play is just absolutely mind blowing. Its always so much worse than you could initially imagine.

i think even though we're getting further away from the events every day that the details are still lurid enough and present IRL that even a podcast as well made and sourced as this still actives peoples' i-heard-a-terrible-thing-brain-shutdown mechanism.

I read Jakarta Method a couple years ago and talking about any single part of the book to people had them shutdown almost immediately.

Its just so fucking heavy. All I can do is drop a bit here or there, "The airforce bombed the north so completely they ran out of targets", "MacArthur had to have his command of nukes taken away in secret because Eisenhower thought he'd nuke china first if he got wind of them being taken away". Small facts sometimes get through but string more than one together and they cant handle it.
