    This could have been a 30 minute conversation.
    I recognize that my inability to listen to random people yap is my own problem, but get to the point.

    If that’s a problem for you then Behind the Bastards is not for you.

    I’d say that the aim of the podcast is not to document the events in question (that information could always be found elsewhere) but to document the back story behind the events in detail.

    No hablo inglés.

    Es tut mir leid, ich spreche kein Englisch.

    Je ne parle pas anglais.

    मैं अंग्रेज़ी नहीं बोलता।

    There are a lot of decent people working for the government that do an amazing job given the constraints they are put under.

    But thank you for your nuanced take, I guess?

    I remember when I first swapped to Lemmy nuanced discussions were numerous, been seeing a lot of relatively new accounts stirring up shit and doing the classic "I'm gonna make them look so stupid huehuehue"

    You're right though, despite the fact there are a lot of sociopaths and psychopaths in government positions, there are a lot of social workers and general day to day folks that are normal or go above and beyond to try and help their community with what little power they have.

    This started in the 1960s.

    I figured it was something from hundreds of years ago.

    Sure, fucking sure... kept staring at the screen after i put the three dots and so much was going through my head to write about this but all that was left after about 30 mins of staring at the screen was what's the point, it's like trying to put out a wildfire with a dry dish rag.
