<2022-03-30T01:21:29.000Z> dharmadudebro: Borzoi I know you've been interested in Anthropology and the complete subversiveness of the 20th century version of Anthropology under Boas. If you want to learn about contemporary anthropology and how fucked it is I recommend "Weaponizing Anthropology" by David Price despite the author's bias I considered his book to be of great relevance when discussing contemporary anthropology and the institutions behind it. here is also a interview of Price youtube.com/watch?v=UqFJMSfmjEE
<2022-03-30T01:23:04.000Z> dharmadudebro: Cold War anthropology : the CIA, the Pentagon, and the growth of dual use anthropology. by him is also interesting but I have never seen them outside of campus and I don't have any scans or pdfs to share
<2022-03-30T01:45:46.000Z> dharmadudebro: files.catbox.moe/cucwwv.pdf
<2022-03-30T01:46:16.000Z> dharmadudebro: here is the catbox link to a pdf of Cold War anthropology that I got from my university
<2022-03-30T06:17:53.000Z> borzoi: Looks interesting, thanks
<2022-03-30T06:21:05.000Z> borzoi: Are you Mormon btw? I apologize if you take umbrage with some of the things I said. It's just how I feel about the religion though I've had many Mormon friends and have respect for the communities they form. My experience with them does make me feel that I have no problem with them as neighbors and fellow citizens but they'd likely be a competitive out-group. 
<2022-03-30T15:17:15.000Z> dharmadudebro: No worries i dont take any displeasure in you discussing the church and its history I freely admit the origins of it prior to the reforms in the latter 19th century was hyper confrontational and antagonistic. I'm also well aware Americans have different views on ethno-religious groups than Canadians. I don't take any offence to what you have been saying.
<2022-03-31T05:39:14.000Z> borzoi: Cool. Cuz I like your posts a lot
<2022-03-31T13:42:24.000Z> dharmadudebro: thanks. Is my interpretation of the state of Neo liberalism in south kore accurate? poa.st/@dharmadudebro/posts/AHxdDaZcEWUv7aNRNQ 
<2022-03-31T13:43:07.000Z> dharmadudebro: *korea
<2022-03-31T17:05:48.000Z> borzoi: Absolutely
<2022-03-31T17:22:51.000Z> dharmadudebro: Perfect just wanted to make sure I wasn’t to focused on Seoul, and other urban centres like Busan
<2022-03-31T17:31:28.000Z> borzoi: Busan is just like Seoul except neoconservative
<2022-03-31T17:31:50.000Z> borzoi: It's the Dallas of Korea
<2022-03-31T17:55:04.000Z> dharmadudebro: interesting i did not know that
<2022-03-31T17:58:33.000Z> borzoi: Busan is where the first non-Korean was elected to parliament. Jasmine Bacurnay Lee. She was a Filipina who had been married to a Korean. The conservatives elected her and their power base is the Gyeongsang provinces of which Busan is the capital
<2022-03-31T17:58:59.000Z> borzoi: Technically she wasn't elected in Busan as she was a proportional representative
<2022-03-31T17:59:03.000Z> borzoi: but you get what i mean
<2022-03-31T18:03:07.000Z> dharmadudebro: yeah i get what you mean. One thing I have been having trouble with is I cant effectively compare south Korea to any state historically and I can really only compare south Korea to countries like Japan or Singapore on a "superficial level". This extreme demographic crisis is so unique I cant even compare it to the stagnation of Frances population growth in the industrial era.
<2022-03-31T18:05:18.000Z> borzoi: South Korea kinda reminds me of Ukraine/Poland
<2022-03-31T18:05:27.000Z> borzoi: Just without a historic jewish population
<2022-03-31T18:05:46.000Z> borzoi: In that historically they've always been in a sphere of influence, even while independent
<2022-03-31T18:06:24.000Z> borzoi: but sociologically yeah it's kind of unique
<2022-03-31T18:07:30.000Z> dharmadudebro: correct. One can even argue that Korea's history is a sequence of it going from sphere to sphere.  Whether it be the chinese, mongols, manchurians, Russians, Japanese, Soviets, or Americans
<2022-06-20T16:24:10.000Z> dharmadudebro: Borzoi would you be able to pinpoint a moment when the ottoman Empire began to "decline" geopolitically. I'm interested in your insight on this topic.
<2022-06-20T17:03:16.000Z> borzoi: Terminal decline started in the 18th century
<2022-06-20T17:04:05.000Z> borzoi: You can quibble over the precise point. I generally put it at the Great Turkish War. They never really recovered 
<2022-06-20T17:05:00.000Z> borzoi: The empire was in a long decline when the Ottomans gradually shifted from a holy warrior culture that they had conquered many lands as into an inward and obscenely decadent sedentary culture that could barely survive the transition from one sultan to the next. The terminal decline since the wars with Austrians and Russians and rise of nationalismThe Treaty of Karlowitz ending the Great Turkish War in 1699 and The Russo-Turkish War in 1768-1774 marked the unquestionable beginning of the Ottomans’ decline, as they would never be able to return to their former size and strength
<2022-06-20T17:12:52.000Z> dharmadudebro: Thanks. really looking forward to the episode on the Ottomans. I hope you reference the Russian "greek plan".
<2022-06-21T01:53:17.000Z> borzoi: Was that their plan to take Constantinople?
<2022-06-21T01:53:56.000Z> borzoi: I was planning on approaching this more from the Turkish perspective so some things are going to be left off
<2022-06-21T01:54:26.000Z> borzoi: Oh this is 18th century 
<2022-06-21T01:54:49.000Z> dharmadudebro: Yeah basically The Greek Plan was Catherine the Great's Plan of installing her grand son Konstantine as the King of the Greeks.
<2022-06-21T01:55:03.000Z> dharmadudebro: Basically it was a proto-Megali idea
<2022-06-21T01:55:12.000Z> borzoi: I'm only going to lightly touch on earlier history. I'm focusing on the last 100 years because so much crazy shit happened 
<2022-06-21T01:55:36.000Z> borzoi: The Freemason stuff has my head spinning 
<2022-06-21T01:55:37.000Z> dharmadudebro: Yeah no problem I understand how massive the subject is.
<2022-06-21T01:56:44.000Z> borzoi: As I'm generally skeptical of conspiracy theories related to them, but mainstream academics will just straight up say "oh yeah the Young Turks were basically a Masonic and Jewish plot."
<2022-06-21T01:58:50.000Z> dharmadudebro: Yeah I saw your thread. There is enough depth in the subject of Jewish power in the Empire itself and the masons to warrant its own separate show.
<2022-06-21T01:59:11.000Z> dharmadudebro: But jesus that two week circumcisions event is disgusting.
<2022-07-07T00:29:14.000Z> dharmadudebro: I don't know if should have sent this to Striker or you but here is something interesting that happened in my province: cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-tuesday-edition-1.6510937/canadian-mountain-no-longer-named-for-nazi-collaborator-thanks-to-father-and-son-1.6510938
<2022-07-07T00:30:06.000Z> dharmadudebro: I certainly find it more worthy of discussion that the Georgia guide stones which is just conservative dopamine/Serotonin hit of the month
<2022-07-07T00:35:27.000Z> borzoi: I'll send to Striker 
<2022-07-07T00:36:50.000Z> dharmadudebro: I'm more interested in the fact that it was most likely a duo of conservatives did this. 
<2022-07-09T17:12:36.000Z> dharmadudebro: know you hate these type of dms but I don’t want any inaccuracies If you do touch on the Shinzo Abe topic this week. I’d like to point out a few things concerning how and why Japanese political assassinations are different from those in the west. The big difference is that assassinations have been historically very prevelent in Japanese politics and political culture. This is rooted in the early court politics of the early emperors and has stuck with Japan right up to the contemporary era. Another important distinction is how there is a degree of “romanticism” in political assassinations and to a degree conspiracies. This stems from the fact a large percent of Japanese society has ancestors both directly/indirectly involved in various infamous assassinations and conspiracies. This romanticism is probably what led to the recent assassination.
<2022-08-10T18:54:28.000Z> dharmadudebro: I just saw your post in regards to seeing if anyone is able to help with the production side of things. I think with my semester schedule I can balance both my school/work and the production of the weebnats/TRS content. However how big of a “workload” is this?
<2022-08-15T18:21:16.000Z> borzoi: Shays Rebellion by Leonard Richards
<2022-08-15T18:25:06.000Z> dharmadudebro: Thanks
<2022-09-02T19:52:02.000Z> dharmadudebro: Before you “go ghost”. I need your thoughts on how I should link my own articles. I’ll be making real historical articles this fall and summer but they will be under my real name. I want to know how I should promote them while being anonymous.
<2022-09-02T19:53:47.000Z> borzoi: There's no way to do it without risking outing yourself. Best you can do is send them to people with clout and hopefully they can repost them without outing you
<2022-09-02T20:07:39.000Z> dharmadudebro: Yeah that’s the only feasible way for it.
