Mike is good and I will defend him and his podcasts even if he is kinda liberal because they are good history and I miss them.

Yeah the quality of his podcast is so good I can easily look past the occasional blips of liberalism.
Yes, Mike is a lib who's been radicalizing with every season. It's pretty cool.
Right now he posts mostly comparisons between the French Revolution and current US domestic politics 🤔 :thinkin-lenin:
:gui: ?
His trajectory is too slow though. Like the intro to the Russian revolution he made in mid 2019 and he strains himself so hard to leave the door open for dismissal of Marxism. If you study history and don't read the writing on the wall then you might not be that good at reading.
People radicalize at their own pace. I think for Duncan what did it was seeing the same patterns throughout history (elites doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different outcome), but he hasn't yet connected that to the immortal science.
I'll be interested to see his takes once we get to the actual revolution, particularly since he's taken a long break during Covid.
