Weekly Behind the Bastards Episode Discussion 2024-12-24

Criticism of Sophie will not be tolerated and may result in a permanent ban. Yes, forever.

Obviously you can criticize Robert. It's what brings us together.

Criticism of guests is against policy and will be removed at Robert's request. Also because they are guests and we should make them feel welcome, because we are at least 40% not assholes.

CZM hosts will be treated the same as Robert in terms of criticism, but critical comments will be removed if they break the don't be mean rule. Except Robert. Criticism of Robert can be mean if it is funny.

Host criticism outside of this discussion post will likely be removed. You all nuked that eel horse.

Guests and hosts are normal people who read these comments. Please consider how it would feel if the comment was about you.

Be nice to each other. You can argue all you want but you can't fight.

Fascists and Tankies and their defenders will be permanently banned, because obviously.

Hellfire R9X knife missiles are made by Lockheed, not Raytheon (really, look it up).

I haven’t listened to the episode yet but I can’t fathom anyone with history knowledge of Wilson would think he’d like Guthrie. I’ll listen now while no one’s home.

It was just a quick comment in passing about how we all had high hopes for Wilson but were let down referencing our entry into WWI. Woody's klansman dad named him after the president early in his presidency. I'm just here to make sure everybody knows that Wilson always sucked, even compared to his contemporaries.

So how do you think he compares to trump? Probably worse since he seems to have at least been competent whereas trump is a throw everything at the wall and see what sticks. Idk overly too much about Wilson (input the YouTube link in my watchlist as it’s Christmas Eve and nothings sticking in my brain but the seven fish dinner I’m procrastinating at right now.)

While Wilson was competent, it should be noted that during the last 2 years of his presidency, his wife was secretly co-president (he'd had a stroke, and was bedridden).  Do you think Trump would allow anyone, especially his wife, to help him run things?
