Tales from a Revolution: Bacon's Rebellion and the Transformation of Early America
Comments (31)
The history of America is entirely just farming badly and ruining the land, committing genocide so you can steal more land to ruin, and then complaining when you're not given free reign to do this. It's like this country was specifically designed to destroy civilization and the environment in the most obnoxious way possible.
Coffe? Yes cigarettes? Fuck no.
Yes cigarettes? Fuck yes!
This shit all sounds like it could have happened yesterday, America hasn't changed a bit
If you wanna self induce a runners high a lil 2-5mg edible is great! I’ll do it sometimes and it “helps” with shin splints and getting bored while running!
“Arguably the only successful coup of a state government” I would argue the Mississippi crisis in 1876 also counts
Yawn more woke bullshit. Unsubscribed.
Lol, time to up mine by $5..bye felicia
Gloucester VA mentioned 💪🏽💪🏽 Also it’s pronounced Glāh-ster
Every Massachusettsian is wincing in pain from the pronunciation of Gloucester 😩
I could listen to Joe mispronounce shit all day, its an integral part of the LLBD brand now. Full fuckin send 10/10
Hey, look! It's capitalism being the problem again!
I love that the early colonists were just tobacco growing Tyranids
Yeah, yeah coffee, smoke, poop. Let's me honest here: regardless of the caffeine and nicotine, if you poop after your shower your morning was a waste of time.
Might as well call it a day and go back to bed
Are we just going to ignore that Tom and Joe have some sort of Death Note thing going?
shh, they'll find out
Ah yes, the Stalingrad school of colonization
New logo reminds me of the first cavalry division’s crest
Canada is larger than the US
Fun Fact for Tom, Cromwell almost moved to the colonies but then hung around England and fucked everything up instead.
It's funny (and by funny I mean tragic) how afterwards the colonists went "You know who we can forcibly make to work the land and ISN'T from here? Africans. This ship crew from the Caribeean told me they got a bunch of them over there soooo..."
This whole thing is just “I’m mad that I don’t get to kill the minorities and have to pay taxes, I’m going to kill the minorities and the government!” So yeah, the core of reactionary white America. Also that old woman is the real hero here.
Huh… I’m glad Tom said the connection to Trump because I was thinking it throughout the whole episode.
I like the new logo

They were holding this back until Morgan Spurlock died. Should add a future Joe note
I wish they would have expanded on issues with the podcast Serial aha. Especially after admitting that and JRE are the archetype podcasts. Joe seems like the kind of guy to accept that Adnans case would come down to racist justice system, so if even he says “no the story Serial lays out is actually problematic” that sounds like interesting banter.
It starts with just a 5k, then you'll be telling everyone about the half you're training for
I have already been working on a decent 10k time. someone please stop me
I saw the word bacon and got excited
