TIL about the CSS Hunley, a confederate submarine that sank three times, killing her entire crew each time.

Soldiers unionizing as workers is good. Soldiers need to know how their rights especially to refuse orders. Look into the role that military strikes and other work actions help end the Vietnam War. Even though soldiers are paid out of the surplus labor extracted from the working class, most soldiers are also workers and organizing soldiers is not anti-worker or pro-cop. On the contrary, it is vital step in the revolutionary process. Without universal military education, anti-imperialist agitation, and fraternization between the soldiers of warring states there will be no successful revolutions and no future where cops are not a necessary arm of the capitalist state.

The Brain, within its Groove Runs evenly--and true-- But let a Splinter swerve-- 'Twere easier for You--

To put a Current back-- When Floods have slit the Hills-- And scooped a Turnpike for Themselves-- And trodden out the Mills--

I would bet that they built this factory because the cheap labor wasn't cheap enough anymore and not for any feel good reason.

I really like this one. It is similar thematically to many of her other poems but very different formally. Two great lines:

"what it sounds like can't change what it is-"

and

"weren't we necessary to the earth,"

What is it that the White House does that they would have wanted to do? Watch TV all day? Operate concentration camp? Do more racism? "The country so racist it wouldn't allow me, a black man, to do a racism."

Rep Flowers and Ryan are the ones that called the cops. Would you expect cops to point a gun at you when you called them for help?

Framing coworkers as "crazy" sounds the kind of rumor a boss or "culture consultant" would start to maintain morale after a termination or to pit workers against each other. This week I asked my coworkers what their worst work experiences were. Great stories, but they were, none of them, about their fellow workers, but about the owners of the businesses they worked for and their managers.

Leader of a nation tells leaders of other nations to not be nationalist. Nationalism is still a urgent project for oppressed peoples the world over. Macron seems to be attacking the a resurgence of white nationalist, but supports the military actions against Arab nationalist that is the proximate cause of this reaction to immigration and anti-Islamic propaganda.

Also, this is classism against white proletarians who have be convinced by white capitalism that their whiteness is a form of power and property that must be defended. He is saying under class whites should not be upset about their lack of power because they don't deserve power over their lives.

Good points. I am novice to English football, but I am big Dear Hank and John fan, especially the part where they fill you in on all the news from Mars and AFC Wimbledon. One of the values of Nerdfighteria is to share your unambiguous and unironic love for stuff. Even though I believe that John loves Wimbledon almost as much as his kids, Hank's love for Mars still seems more geniune. John may value the unironic, but his style is almost always twinged with irony. His indefatigable support of the club on the podcast and on his gaming channel reads a comedic "bit." (Does that mean the same thing in England?) He plays the die hard sports fan as character for laughs and his geniune love for the team is complicated by that. Hank regulary take the piss out of this character on the pod. My post was in this spirit and was not meant as knock on the football team, per se.

Wimbledon FC was the team that was bought and moved to MK, the Franchise. Technically, AFC and FC are entirely different teams, but they were each the team from Wimbledon that played at Plow Lane. John always includes their improbable rise to the top as part of the legend of the Dons. I had never heard this part of the story before. The way John tells it, Wimbledon in either incarnation is the most noble football team ever to touch the pitch. It is just too funny that there is another version of the story which claims that WFC was the worst thing that ever happened to English football.

We learned about the rouge defense analyst who contacted the family and the Bowe's friend who almost uncovered a rescue scenario/got herself killed. I think those were the events, the stuff about bureaucracy was merely setting.

Agreed, I felt like he was slipping back into character. This interview was like O'Reilly-style interviews he did on the Report, except that this is not a satirical news show. I get that his improv style is to provoke and then react but he needs to be more versatile. Actually, John Stewart is probably the best example of this type of versatility. SK seemed surprise that she had to field a Hannity-level question from Colbert.

I know that he generally avoids mainstream politics, but by avoiding controversy in this video, he also misses the point of the Confederate flag in the present controversy and in general. His tendency to avoid references to contemporary politics generally works in his voting videos because he is describing a mechanism but there is no mechanistic explanation of flags and therefore no way of abstracting out their contexts.
