When the "antifa is bad" shirt answers a lot of questions about the "fa" wearing the shirt. sus-soviet

Someone on here suggested Evans was up to sketchy shit when he tried to make a teenager he met at a protest his podcast protege and as the type of company he keeps gets revealed it seems more and more plausible

[-] KimJongFun@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago

Even before I realized how much fedvans sucks that shit was so sus.

"Hey it's me, Robert Evans! Check out this vulnerable child that escaped from a cult with no support network! I met him at a protest! Against cops! Isn't that neat? What? This is effectively doxxing a child? Sorry, can't hear you, I'm too busy playing with my knives! I'm a silly goose."

I knew he was sus when Behind the Bastards was in my Spotify recommended. He is incredibly coded as manufactured dissent.

We need a “Robert Evan’s is a fed” effort post

[-] FALGSConaut@hexbear.net 20 points 1 month ago

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...

[-] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 13 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 1 points 3 weeks ago

Just listened. Of note on that episode is the guest is Katy Stoll.

[-] ByteFoolish@hexbear.net 17 points 1 month ago

His organization Bellingcat is funded by the National Endowment for Democracy, a CIA offshoot. That's all of the info I need

I don't think he owns it, but he's a writer there

[-] Weedian@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago

He should do an episode of behind the bastards about himself

[-] CommCat@hexbear.net 51 points 1 month ago

Robert Fedvans also specializes in protest movements around the world (surprising, mostly countries the US doesn't like), by being employed by the NED

[-] CommunistBear@hexbear.net 51 points 1 month ago

I am completely unsurprised

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 46 points 1 month ago

How I sleep knowing none of these people 😌

I was going to say that I'm just not terminally online, but that's not true.

[-] HumanAnarchist@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Ugh I really liked his show until quite recently when I got a bit of a bad feeling from some of the episodes. Seems like things keep getting worse then.

[-] JayTreeman@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago

I dropped it a year or two ago. What happened recently? I just realized that I really didn't like Robert. I was actually called out on a podcast because I went on their subreddit and pointed out that their making fun of the French or Italian accent was closer to racist than not. They didn't mention me by username, but they were definitely talking about me

[-] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 8 points 1 month ago

I hate liberals less then fascists so thank you liberals for appropriating NAFO, because I don’t think I can handle another couple months of “fren”.
