Trying a new experiment to up my following: posting dick-pics. Well, here goes! 🤞🏻 ⬇️

Woodrow Wilson was narrowly reelected in 1916, primarily because he pretended to be much more anti-war than he actually was. To learn more on that and other things, check out my latest DHP episode! 👇🏻

From my favorite Socialist in American history: “Mr. Wilson, who had all his life been opposed to militarism, has now become the avowed champion of plutocratic preparedness, and today he stands before the country pleading in the name of Wall Street and its interests for the largest standing army and the most powerful navy in the world.” -Eugene Debs, campaigning for a US House seat in 1916, while Woodrow Wilson was running for reelection as POTUS Debs, based as usual on war issues, saw through the BS of Wilson's "he kept us out of war!" campaign messaging.

Well, I powered through being sick & managed to record all of Woodrow Wilson Part 13 today. On the morrow shall be The Editing.

This Thanksgiving I’m thankful that I’m still alive, still sober, still married, still not homeless, & still on the upswing (across the board) in life despite many trials & tribulations. And I’m thankful for my listeners, without whom I wouldn’t have made it this far. PS-Woodrow Wilson Part 13 is in the works, trying to get it finished over Thanksgiving weekend. I’ll be thankful if I’m able to do so. 😉

Been working like mad on research & notes for a while & now tomorrow the plan is to start laying down some tracks for Woodrow Wilson Pt 13! 👊🏻

American academia has been captured & corrupted for propagandistic purposes for well over a century now: "In World War I American academic intellectuals committed themselves to serving the needs of the state. The role they played committed them to priorities that fettered their critical intelligence and warped their judgment; the work they produced in the service of the state seriously departed from responsible scholarship... "...[T]he state of academic freedom depends largely on the professoriate itself, for they reveal the extent to which professors themselves were involved in wartime violations of academic freedom. The crisis of war exposed the repressive underside of majority sentiment on the campus; it exposed a lack of commitment to academic freedom within the profession at large and a willingness even of its chief defenders to bend the principle to the pressures of the moment..." -Carol Gruber, Mars and Minerva: World War I and the Uses of Higher Learning in America Things haven't changed at all in the last century; if anything, they've only gotten worse. The biggest obstacle to intellectual freedom in academia comes via horizontal enforcement from the professors themselves.
