      Dude is sus af, he openly admits to working with the feds teaching them to recognize online extremism. And then there’s the whole hanging out with a minor he met at a protest situation…

        Right? It even seems like that kid moved onto Evan’s ‘compound’ (where he probably drives around drunk on his ATV) I’m all for compounds, but it’s more than a little weird when it’s one persons and that person is also employing everyone… It’s a fiefdom guys… In some more news, it’s kind of interesting to watch his former colleagues Katie and Dan get more and more radicalized because they’re just paying attention.

          If you haven’t watched Small Beans on YouTube you should. A lot of the Cracked staff went there after the site was sold. And they have all gotten more radical over the last decade lol. I think some of them are legit Marxists, but they aren’t open about it because anti-communism.

          On the episode about Bowling for Columbine (they re-watched it after not seeing it since it came out), Michael Swaine says something along the lines of “I used to think we solve things nonviolently, but I’m not even sure that’s true anymore [because reactionaries are getting emboldened] and people should arm up.” The other hosts agreed with him.
