Agreed. Imagine how much kinder history would be to him if he were better at delegating, was comfortable being wrong, and wasn’t so paranoid. I’m reading part 2 of Kotkin’s bio on him. Terrifying stuff

2025-01-28 15:55:59 +0000 UTCA note that Stalin was in fact witty, probably the most naturally gifted leader in the 20th century, outside of height and compassion anyway.

2025-01-24 12:59:56 +0000 UTCAli, I would love a part II. I want to hear how the based Shia’s are better than Sunni’s. I would also love to hear of your telling of the exploits of Saladin, especially his war against the crusaders.

2025-01-23 11:17:12 +0000 UTCThe confluence of errors is astounding. But thank god we saved that fish! One snippet that blew my mind: The (female) LA fire dept assistant chief literally said of a hypothetical man in a burning building, “he got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.” California’s inevitable red-swing is gonna come much sooner than historical trends would suggest.

2025-01-23 10:41:32 +0000 UTCI fucking hhhhhaaaaated "Everybody Loves Raymond". Ray was a pathetic cuck, and Marie was a Cunt! I remember thinking, "is this what I have to look forward to in marriage??" 25 years later, I have my answer - "Abso-fucking- lately". Sex & The City is another series that can get in the bin. Fuck that shit!

2025-01-23 04:05:21 +0000 UTCAli, the California Fires were 100% mismanaged, the main woman in charge was paid $700k per year to make sure the Fire Hydrants were fully functional and the main reservoirs were full, but of course they were not. Gavin Newsom is shown doing this stupid little dance with absurd hand gestures, smiling while talking about "LA version 2.0" a few days after the disaster, standing in front of someones destroyed home.

2025-01-22 23:42:29 +0000 UTCGavin Newsome didn't starve the fire department he increased the funding by a fuck tonne and took 3% off the next year for reasons.

2025-01-22 22:59:02 +0000 UTCGreat story Ali! Bring on part two!

2025-01-22 22:10:12 +0000 UTCAli you need to keep going, we need part 2

2025-01-22 21:45:04 +0000 UTCAli I really like the story but I think you’d be better off just making a different podcast where it’s just you telling stories from history. You have a great speaking voice and it’s not fatiguing to listen to you for extended periods of time. Also I may be getting my wires crossed but is this also related to the Hadith of pen and paper? And another question, Fatima’s husband, Ali, that’s regarded as the ancestor of Ayatollah Ali Khamanei? I personally would love a future story about how the House of Saud was established. Keen for part 2

2025-01-22 15:44:48 +0000 UTCParasocial relationships: I do not know how to explain it, but I did twitch streams for about a month or two. I was trying to understand my childrens' world. I was gaining followers, which is apparently good. I did not know these people, random people from around the world. The conversations were amazing. Learning about everyone was great. Yet, the intensity of emotions relating of fans, how I was "seeing" them, understanding them... they had demands. I could not handle the intensity of these "fans".
