779 - The Rude Dozen feat. Derek Davison (11/6/23)

>arabs cannot think strategically Didn’t they invent algebra?

(Genocide aside, obvi)

I loved this episode with David Davison. Good vibes.

Did anyone catch the “box” joke right after the Tefillin comment? I couldn’t quite hear it but it cracked everyone up.

Trump is exactly what Americans deserves. At least the current unhappy liberals and conservatives will be pleased that Biden isn’t the President anymore will finally STFU.

Then we should have a fun one with a classic guest for you on Thursday

The Minecraft replication of the dude putting a bomb on a tank and then he and his buddy shooting it with rpgs was pretty good imo

I love "The Pod Johns" so much

These guys shouldn’t talk about the SMO in Ukraine until they’re more familiar with it. It’s anything but a stalemate. Especially the last month.

Did y’all see your boy Fetterman’s adidas shorts comments on Israel? What a fucking clown.

I never got an email about this. I checked spam, etc. so you know. I opened Patreon and it popped up

People can scold me on the internet all they want. Biden and all the Dems who support this shit lost me forever

Talking about the schizophrenic tone, DID YALL HEAR NETANYAHUS SHRINK COMMUT SUICIDE

Really hard ending there.

I'm not sayingI'm pro-Taliban, but it would be cool if they broke the siege of gaza by swooping in with those american helicopters

Will is so good. Salute to Will.

I really think this was good for Derek. He needed to be able to laugh for a few minutes.

Wow, looks like all that work Mossad put into the whole 'Jeffrey Epstein pedo-blackmail ring' is really paying off.

I put up Ceasefire posters everywhere in my city next to the “abducted” posters and over half of my fliers were torn down within one day. I tried to restrain myself from tearing the other fliers down but I’ve been left no choice. I know this is an incredibly minor gesture but they’re still the only pro-ceasefire message I’ve seen in my city so far. Everything seems hopeless but we all need to stay committed.

Israel has completely lost all forms of soft power it once enjoyed in the psyche of normie americans. That Columbia skit was a schande in the history of Jewish comedy. The I.D.F.’s reputation as a fighting force that punches well above its weight has been very tarnished. And the false possibility of a liberal, humanistic form of Zionism is no longer viable. A country stereotyped as savvy, hardy, and moral has been revealed to be pathetically corny, impotent, and thuggish.

Come on, Will! The Disrespectable Dozen! Give it some alliteration!

was in wash square the other day and saw a bunch of blindfolded teddy bears with those flyers attached to them which is just very vulgar especially for a public place where like ? kids go ?

From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free!

We're living through episode zero of a future season of Blowback

This shit was, is, and will always be genocide and ethnic cleansing. From the River to the Sea!

There are two US carrier groups within strike range of Israel, and one Marine MEU in Kuwait. It would be a massive sacrifice and undertaking, but those elements alone could destroy Israeli command and control. One nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day.

Canada is not a real place.

After seeing telephone poles plastered with those stupid propaganda posters in our neighborhood, I had to reassure my 9 y/o, several times including once at 1am that, no, there was not a kidnapper on the loose in our city. I was not amused on many levels. But it was encouraging to see they’d been ripped down the next day and have yet to reappear.

I would pay any amount of money to listen to a podcast with Felix and rotating guests talk about military hardware, training, and tech. I grew up near an airbase (my microplastic biome is flourishing, thank you) so maybe this is just the effects of empire talking but I've always found tanks, military aviation, and for lack of a better term the 'Metal Gear Solid' coolness that surrounds them fascinating. The intersection of tactics and tech - the IOF sending in unsupported AFVs worth 55 million dollars to get merced by AT teams with 100% sneak skill and tech from the former Soviet Union, the failures of a billion dollar anti-missile systems to rockets constructed via hand-tooled mills in a tunnel. Fucking paraglider infantry! I feel a little bad that I find it all so cool and interesting, because it's like studying a meat grinder designed to kill you, but I feel the giving a shit leaving my body as I imagine driving a M1A2 around.

They're gonna try to force us into the voting booths with draconian bill propositions like "voicing support for Palestine will be a felony" or "liking posts that promote trans rights will get you on a list" and libs will be like DON'T YOU SEE but we're serious when we say if anyone isn't free in this world then none of us are so who the fuck am i to expect freedom here or anywhere.

Wait they won’t send in unarmored infantry bc they’re scared of casualties, so they send in tanks only, which you said is suicide without infantry cover. Dudes not making any sense.

Mr. Davidson has a wonderful laugh. I always appreciate a good laugh. There are many awful laughs that make me feel embarrassed for the laugher.

Mauripol still existed when the first deal was offered. Zeldisney down bad.

The claims that the bombs we bought Israel aren't killing any Palestinians kind of annoys me as a taxpayer. Do our bombs not work? Using them is horrible, but then you tell me that Israel uses these but don't worry, they're not killing anyone. Why did we spend this money, then?

I'm not gonna lie, but I've relished watching Genocide Joe eat shit constantly on the international stage. Not just in this crisis; it's really funny to watch him whimper towards a pathetic butcher like MBS.

They don't consider them real journalists. They might pat them on the head in a few years time and say well done champ. They consider them like...kids playing as being journalist at best.

US media literally acting like a character from I Think You Should Leave 110%

The link 🖇️ to Derek's website is broken

I like how the Unisemity sketch was extremely homophobic while also accusing hamas (or palestinians) of being homophobic

Derek Davison- don’t we love our sweet boy???

I thought hamas would get steamrolled until I saw a dead-serious tiktok where an IDF soldier paraphrases inigo Montoya while glaring into the camera Then I was like oh IDF is fucked The OPFOR is quoting scripture during battle and the BLUFOR are quoting princess bride

i hope matt is continuing to make progress every day…the resonant space his voice would have filled during all of this horrific bullshit feels especially empty lately.

The US is trying to wrap up the Ukraine conflict because they need Azov in Gaza right now

I would give every dollar I have to see how much blackmailing is going on, by Israel, over US politicians right now. The Epsteins, Maxwells, etc. of the world don't exist anymore, right guys? Right?

Somebody explain “stalemate” to me

“unnamed Democrat” will always poll better than any Dem with a name.

Prediction: mitt Romney will be the democratic candidate in 2024

Thinking of Gazans being told to denounce Hamas, like imagine being asked "do you denounce the 'rogue' elements in the CIA that stitched up the Kennedys" as well as "do you denounce Con Ed"

Israel is overplaying their hand like the republicans did with the roe v wade repeal

I think Trump is officially the option of less harm now

This episode is reminding me of when everyone was jackin the Ukrainians off after the Russians invaded then look what happened.

I think the big thing that keeps getting missed here is that israel sucking total dick at the info war is irrelevant to their ability to commit mass murder through aerial bombardment. And the only real purpose of any of this is to kill every human being in Gaza. The pro-zionist contingency in the United States that is comfortably insulated from this is losing their minds over their inability to get infinite likes on their victim posts, but israel doesn’t give a flying fuck. Within 24 hours of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine the most overwhelming combination of sanctions in modern history were levied against them. Within 72 hours the foreign reserves of the Russian state were frozen - an act of total war. Nothing even comparable has happened yet in this case. 12k confirmed dead today. The Hamas videos are cool and all but it’s not easy to square their success on the ground vs limited mechanized units against the annihilation of Gaza from the air. I think it’s a far more terrifying indicator that Israel has simply intensified the bombardment in lockstep with their total bumbling of their bullshit narratives. Until state forces in the region intervene to stop the slaughter (or a genuine miracle happens), the most likely outcome is that Gaza is annihilated. And before someone steps in with the Vietnam comp - Gaza isn’t a giant nation with forests and mountains and resources and trading partners and millions of soldiers. It won’t sustain and can’t win without intervention.

In Austria the Propaganda works better. (The pro Palestinian side is intimidated) It will have dire consequences for Jews living here, bc the pro Israeli side for the first time goes out and tells the public: Jews =Israel. And for the first time ever I saw politicians (non Jews) telling pro bds Jewish Uni guest speakers they are nazis. And no Jewish public figure stops them. Just to give you context we have around 5400 Jews in a country of 9 million. I was at a bring them back rally, it was 70percent old people who you can scare by calling them anti semites.

Derek Davison has a laugh that warms my heart, even though when he’s talking about anything, it’s usually not pretty.

How would things be different if Trump was president? Our military would currently be tied down losing a war in Mexico and Israel would be forced to figure things out for itself.

You know how when you play a turn-based PC strategy game like Civilization or one of the Total War games there's that period in the late campaign where your empire is so big and complicated that it takes an hour to finish a turn? You've got like 30+ settlements you have to click through and armies all over the map you have to move. The game isn't exactly won but there's no more big rival factions to threaten you so you just muddle through the endgame forgetting about random cities and armies and auto-resolving battles instead of playing them out. That's basically what it feels like to live in America in the 21st century. All of our presidents and politicians and business leaders are just auto-resolving everything and muddling through the campaign because they're too tired of clicking through the turns. And this war feels like the kind of messy shit that happens because the player just wants the game to end.

With all due respect to Davidson-who is a GOAT- I call bullshit on the tendency to not take seriously the human toll of the war on terror. 20 years 4.5 million dead (what percentage civilian? And children?) 40-50 million displaced with 11 million permanent refugees. The stance that America has taken on behalf of Israel is directly out of a dog eared playbook from the early post 9/11 era. That’s what makes it so uncanny, the sense that you’ve been through this before and you can’t believe that it worked back then.

Yeah I love hearing from the acceptable/compatible left. Now I understand where Bernie’s stance on Palestine comes from

Derek has been doing great work for all the years since Chapo first put me on to him. Much respect
