Actually I needed it. Dunno why, but I didn’t realize anything was red.

There’s only archives of this page says reddit

I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy did publish it under a pen name and different title.

Dude it was me who got confused LMAO

While we were having this back and forth I was also talking in another thread about wanting to read more Cuban history.

Let me find the actual controversy book.

Oh same honestly. I think he ultimately did the right thing with the publishing issue. He also made the correct business move sorta staying out of it when Karl Kasarda was having a spat with Browning and the ar15.com forum.

Ian’s dome a pretty good job being a neutral observer and has course corrected both times he’s started to swerve.

Yeah I don’t think that’s the guy who was imbedded with the Azov battalion during the Ukrainian civil uprising in the early 2010s

That’s also not Ian McCallum.

But that is the guy I recommended earlier in a different thread.

Are you confused or am I?

They also seemed to hold a grudge.

Rome lost a battle to you 100 years ago. They remembered.

Google turns up nothing. You’re gonna have to link it if true.

Also this was a controversy from 3-4 years ago. I’m willing to let the man grow. Unfortunately this very thread starting with him working with Brandon “Don’t simp for communists” Herrera.

So there’s also that.

I can see how you’d struggle to find youtubers who aren’t sucking Musks toes if you’re watching AI news people and Russell Brand.

But trust me, choosing to simply consume content that isn’t so negative is the quickest way to find rational people.

I personally really like Alex O’Connor right now. He does a lot of engagement with religious and philosophical type people. He’s an atheist who’s just genuinely trying to understand.

“Cuba Since the revolution of 1959: a critical assessment” by Samuel Farber

I have not read this book yet and only have it because I was in Haymarkets book club for a while. So I can’t attest to the quality other than I generally trust Haymarket.

Not specifically. I just remember how much Thunderf00t made me an angry atheist for a time and how unpleasant that was mentally.

Looks like he’s on a hyper Musk hate train now. Which while based I’m sure his content is still very toxic to consume.

And I don’t wish that on anyone.

I think a real hobby would help with your mental health…

Tried to publish a book written by a Nazi then cried about it when everyone said “No I’m not buying a book written by a Nazi”

Its how a lot of us learned about Ukraine’s Azov battalion and their Swarze sonne symbol.

I’m a simple and slightly horny man.

I see Titties and psychedelic rock, I listen.

Damn. The double whammy of “things someone into guns on Lemmy won’t like”

Brandon Herrera AND Forgotten weapons

Shame too. I quite like engineering. But fascists also like it.

I didn’t even realize that was you PugJesus.

Deeply based in many ways.

I bought a book a lifetime ago about Cuban history from Haymarket books. Maybe its time to read it.

And also like, they are?

Maduro is holding office by force right now because of (reasonable) suspicions that there’s foreign influence in the election system.

I don’t know about Cuba currently, but historically they were a dictatorship for the same reason.

Like a dictatorship is just a form of government. Its wild that we assume describing things accurately is a negative statement about the country.

How the fuck else does someone describe these structures?

What an almost bold general.

I swear, the History channel documentary on his crossing of the Alps made this seem like a bigger threat.

Poor bastard tried to insert himself into Italian politics, found out how petty and absurd it is (and always will be), then lost due to confusion.

I’m finally learning Roman history after being a medievalist and American history fan for so long.

I can’t wait to male more memes.

The book I was reading made it sound like they were preparing for a proper siege, but the Wiki said they were fielded in lines. Which blows my mind.

So this image. One legion (5,000) lined up against presumably the bulk of Hannibal’s* army (50-60,000), and then Hannibal “paper hands” of Carthage fucking leaving instead of fighting them!

Yeah I can see how a Roman would ride that high into an empire. They were probably ready to die.

Lol, fuck that guy
