!historychads thoughts on reddity podcasters? Mike Duncan is another one which went full commie with his Revolutions Podcast.

I still love the revolutions podcast. I haven't followed Duncan since though.
One of his book recommendations was Lafayette in the so-called United States of America. It was the most
thing I ever listened to. Pinnacle of 2010's political cringe. "Dude Nick Offerman is GEORGE WASHINGTON! Dude it's narrated by Kristin Schaal! Dude there's [current year] references dude! And it's a FRICKING HISTORY book dude!" 
it's been 10 years and I'm still pissed I wasted an audible credit on it.

I read Duncan's book "The Storm before the Storm" about the late Roman Republic and it was very
and amateurish. He uses primary sources to retell the Gracchi and the story of Sulla and Marius which is ok if you wanna know a compilation of said sources, but he does so uncritically, any serious historian about Rome like Mary Beard or Adrian Goldsworthy will warn us to take primary sources with a grain pf salt and present archeological evidence. For instance Beard mentioned there's little evidence for mas Latifundia during the late republic, rather evidence points out to an increase in small farms but Duncan instead parrots Gracchi propaganda (which was likely that in the time, same as today with populoids making shit up it was probably easy to distort things back then) and makes comparisons between the late Roman Republic and the US, he didn't put it but I'm certain he thinks Orange Man is the modern day Sulla. To me the most interesting part was when he talked about the Mos Maiorum (unwritten rules) and how it was progressively violated until the Republic became the Empire, it was similar to Ziblatt and Levistky's thesis in "How Democracies Die".

Duncan isn't trained as an historian of antiquity and so his book is out of step with modern research. I think he's much better on the early modern era, but the Trump election and the stress of running a podcast+writing a book while he had medical problems kind of broke him, I could tell by the end of his last series he was really tired of podcasting and wanted a break.

I admittedly don't know much about antiquity. But it did seem a little surface level. It's pop history. I liked Hero of Two Worlds better. Probably because there is way more, and better quality, primary sources from the mid 18th century. Oh I'm absolutely positive he thinks Orangeman is Sulla. Where he falters is that the US isn't as centralized a people think. That's by design. If le orange man wants to be dictator, he's got to get Congress, 50 states, and about 150 million people on his side. It's not happening. Nothing ever happens. Dems are running on the threat to democracy meme because it's all they have.

Yeah, he's probably better with 18th century history but even modern history has its challenges for different reasons.
The problem with Antiquity is that there aren't many surviving sources, for instance the oldest complete biography of Alexander the Great we have was written by Plutarch 300 years after Alexander's death. Plutarch used older biographies as sources including one by Ptolemy I which were lost forever, to complicate things even more, we don't have manuscripts from that era either, just medieval copies which are traced back to the 1st century because of the type of language and writing style which corresponds to the era. Biographies of deposed Emperors like Nero had a strong biased against them and contradict what they contemporaries wrote about them in private letters.
That's why archeology is super important for Antiquity historians as it paints an accurate picture of daily life and in many cases helps to corroborate (or disprove) primary sources. By the Late Middle Ages historical research becomes much easier thanks to an abundance of original manuscripts, church records, letters and even book-keeping records from merchants, not to mention abundance of castles, armors, swords, bows, paintings and churches from that era.

And in the minds of the redditor the main crime of nazis was not the genocide or the dictatorship per se, but doing a heckin racism while using aesthetic uniforms (remember they like poorly dressed underdogs regardless of how violent they act)

Redditors are tying themselves in knots to justify how trash the new season has become as a direct result of kripke being a seething cuck and stuffing his politics more and more into the show.

i've maintained that the show fell off immediately in season 2 when they tried to downplay girlboss trash then simultaneously reveled in it like a pig in shit. Redditors are too goddarned stupid to understand the showrunners were already talking out of both sides of their mouth that early. It only got worse from there as Starlight became the paragon of virtue while simultaneously being a absolute b-word harpy who refused to acknowledge her own faults and was celebrated for it. Combine all this with the most unsubtle current year libtard talking points shoved in your face nearly every episode and the quality fell off a cliff.
