2024-09-08 05:46:44 +0000 UTCI don’t more or less because of hearing about that particular atrocity. So yeah good point, but it’s just hard to take in sometimes. Shouldn’t be a reason not to talk about that stuff though.

2024-09-07 15:37:58 +0000 UTCI didn’t fully understand why the UN pushed back on Dallaire going through with protecting the PM and others. Can someone explain the reasoning for this?

2024-09-07 10:04:59 +0000 UTCjust googled it super cool way to teach IT in Geography and also sociology, but man that had to be a fucked up feeling for the pupils when they realized that the genocide they predicted materialized only one year later...

2024-09-04 11:08:00 +0000 UTCActually, there never was a Nick. Joe does voices like a ventriloquist but in podcast form. Liam wasn’t real either. In fact I heard he’s had to hire actors to play Tom and Nate at the LIVE shows.

Pat
2024-09-03 04:27:04 +0000 UTCNick? The first cohost? Joe ate him. That’s the joke. But no he had to leave because he’s an army lifer and this show is not uhh “ US Army approved”

2024-09-02 17:56:27 +0000 UTCRomeo Dallaire was in a bad spot… he did the right thing, with what he had… his downfall was correct, he had misplaced faith… he was a casualty of this genocide as well

2024-09-02 04:39:17 +0000 UTCAs soon as I seen episode 2 dropped for this I immediately went to the dispensary, picked up 4 8ths, got a 12 pack of Sam Adam’s, and a load of animal facts on stand by. Love listening to the show guys! Keep up the amazing work.

2024-09-02 01:17:28 +0000 UTCI feel like such a dick bringing this up, but it’s Da-lair, not Da-li-air. There used to be some weird Canadian identity tied up in UN peacekeeping, pre-Afghanistan invasion, that a lot of civilians still buy into, despite us basically contributing nothing for years. Even into the late 90’s in public school there was this idea that our military were the good guys, Canada was a force for good because we protected people, followed the rules, and saved the world during the Suez crisis (even had a prof saying the last bit in 2009 at university). It’s not surprising that someone like Dallaire trusted the UN to do the right thing. I’ve talked to veterans of Cyprus who were really proud of being peacekeepers, believed in the concept and just wished more resources were dedicated to it. They retired before the “Somalia Affair” and Rwanda though.

2024-09-01 19:41:33 +0000 UTCEh, humans can be rough, but at the end of the day we're just (uniquely intelligent) animals and this sort of brutality is pretty common in the animal kingdom. Chimps can be cute, compassionate, and smart, and they can also do horrifying chimp wars. Just imagine how nasty antman genocides would be if eusocial insects, rather than apes were the first highly intelligent organisms to evolve brains capable of using fire.

2024-09-01 17:36:07 +0000 UTCMy high school history class made a big deal about the Rwandan Genocide and essentially spent three months teaching a 'tribal hatred' version of the history. So I can honestly say that this podcast is better than a high school history class.
Thomas Layton
2024-09-01 17:15:29 +0000 UTCDon't fall into the human hating nihilism. Remember that there were humans like Romeo Dallaire who did all they could do to stop this. And who knows how many humans who hid or helped tutsis escape or hide.

2024-09-01 16:43:47 +0000 UTCSuper interesting, so thank you for doing the series. But man, this makes me feel like maybe humans were not that good of an idea.

2024-09-01 16:25:15 +0000 UTCDid Bout deliver those Russian vehicles to the UN too? And I’m guessing Bosnia will be next animal facts themed episode.
Jason Machacek
2024-09-01 15:51:45 +0000 UTCIt’s the same thing as all the idiots who believe violence in the Middle East is “ancient feuds caught up in a dispute from 1400 years ago about who should lead Islam” despite shittons of evidence that’s not true at all. A lot of lazy racists want to believe their lazy uninformed fairy tales because reality is too complicated and assuming Those People are just like them is scary.

2024-09-01 13:24:19 +0000 UTCBELGIUM WTF?!?! I am just flabbergasted. I am holding out hope that there were consequences for that Belgian guy
nughh
2024-09-01 13:23:33 +0000 UTCit's depressing to hear that even in a case where there's a paper trail thousands of pages long of a government organizing a genocide in the most western way possible, with sub-committees and working groups, public perception in the west still remains "a bunch of third-world savages acted out their savagery one day at random"

2024-09-01 13:15:27 +0000 UTCYou know it's gonna be a rough one when the ep description is just the part number.

2024-09-01 09:20:57 +0000 UTCI had to stop this episode after the comment about Modern Talking in the context of the Soviet-Afghan War. I tried to look it up and instead found another video of war footage from the war with "Cheri Cheri Lady" synced over it. Knowing everything I know now after reading "Boys in Zinc" by Svetlana Alexievich, it made me feel physically ill thinking of everything I read being done with Thomas Anders voice in the background.
