I’m just curious to see the face behind the name @flintdibble.bsky.social

We interviewed @paulmmcooper.bsky.social last season about a year ago on 2 complicated. It’s one of the only episodes I’ve re-listened to.

Very excited for your video!

Can't wait! I've been hoping to find the time to work on an article about how the right uses the rhetoric about the "fall of Rome" as a dog whistle. They portray a fictitious version os Rome as some pinnacle of human progress, undone by whatever it is they want to vilify (e.g. immigration).

we don't get into that specifically, but should still be useful from a broader point of view!

if you haven't seen this hilarious twitter thread of mine about that specific topic, here ya go: https://x.com/FlintDibble/status/1103352794285785088

This is a wonderful thread!! I hadn't seen this yet, and this is 100% what I had in mind. Thank you! Some of these hadn't even crossed my mind as examples...
