  • I will say, before the election, i was watching them pretty hard. I dropped it for my own mental health after the election though. I wasn’t a huge fan of Ben Meiselas because he became more and more sensational but I really liked Michael Popoks legal commentary. I felt like Ben started shading into the tone and repetition patterns of the far right podcasters but either way, they both always had their facts straight and everything they said and predicted was backed by evidence and legal experience. Popok is a smart fuckin dude though.

    Also, I’d say they’re “pro democracy” as that’s the line they always pushed unless it changed after the election.

    If you want to ease into it just check out Popoks stuff as it’s way more objective. I learned so much about the legal/judicial system from him and it was all validated by other sources.

    I constantly use algebra/calc and graph data for my stem job. Everyone should have a similar base of knowledge. I don’t complain that I learned about the Mongolian empire or read Of Mice and Men.

    Unfortunately, the people thinking they don’t need to know stuff are also the people “doing their own research” on vaccines and such.

    Learning stuff doesn’t just impart knowledge, it rounds out your understanding of what you don’t know and where you should yield to expertice which is arguably equally as important as knowing stuff.
