This is it listener, we get the part where some academics went, "hey, this race science crap is nothing. It's, like, based on prejudice. What the heck???" And yet they still did not give up on race being real. See, in America, race science doesn't die because the whole system is set against the people who could tell you the truth of it. Like Black people, for example. And yet, America came a little bit 'round on the concept of race, starting to dismiss it once the Nazis slaughtered lighter-skinned people en masse. But hey, we were starting to get there. And history being the nasty business it is, we can say that this chapter inaugurates a new era of horrifying pseudo-race pseudo-science. But in the meantime, it is technically better than it was. I guess? That's almost something, listener. It's chapter 24 of The History of White People!

I don't have a fun episode description in me this week listener. Just know that it's Nazi time. There's Aryan bullshit, unjustifibly angry American businessmen, and all sorts of other fascist nonsense. Also, everything evil the ruling class did during this interwar period is not undone until the mid-60's. And, in some cases, never undone, becoming a new part of the fascist American fabric. And they called it "anthroposociology" for a bit. It didn't stick, but they tried a rebrand.

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the podcast, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of history. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. Witness ye the life, death, and resurrection of our most beloved podcast character, upon whose shoulders our computational burden rests.
This is it folks! It's the 9/11 Spectacular, in which we watch the cluster!@#$ of a 2007 movie, Zeitgeist - The Movie (2007)! Why did we watch this? Simple! It's the 25th Anniversary of 9/11 and there's no better film to understand the esoteric libertarian chad mindset than a film made by a guy who watched too much Alex Jones during the 1990's! Tune in to find out if we think 9/11 was an inside job done by secret agent child soldiers, or perhaps a classic American scam of epic proportions! We analyze this Gish-gallop of a film and also celebrate our 1st annual Kirk-iversary, the Zoomer 9/11! We ask the complicated conspiracy questions you've been waiting for, and we promise this episode will answer all your unanswered queries. No 9/11 will go unexamined in this, the TGSGTE 9/11 Spectacular!

Some are calling it the greatest apology ever posted.
TLDR; Trinity is burnout-style, so we'll be back on 9/11. And we'll get back to doing 9/11 several times a month.
[Just a quick note from Trinity: I have finished moving and all that life crapola, so with my new schedule, we are releasing on Fridays now. Frankly, Friday is the best I've hit for, like, a month! I think I even released on a Saturday and Sunday in there! Please understand that demolishing this system of exploitation and frenzied, individualized labor that pollutes North America is the only way this podcast is ever gonna release on time every week. Please, let this motivate you to great heights, listener!]
They made the !@#$%^& horses white, chat. They made 'em white! Because apparently the Greek Gods are also blond and white. That's like me saying brown-haired, blue-eyed people should rule the Earth because that's what Jimmy Neutron is. That's not even an argument, you just read a fiction book! How any of this could pass as science or even be accepted by the general public as facts is probably a testament to the dynamism of the miseducation program of the failing United States. Every time the U.S. ruling class is restructured by history, someone paints another Aryan horse. It's chapter 22 of The History of White People!

Listener, we may present to you a serious and disciplined image of ourselves, dedicated to the study of history. But we are also just people, and sometimes people bork a recording so bad that the episode simply cannot be made! And to compound it, this week Trinity has been separated from her recording equipment. So, in lieu of reading this week, please enjoy us running this show completely off the rails! You're gonna get Buzzfeed quizzes, you're gonna get jokes about boy bands, you're gonna get a book episode later this month to make up for it! And you're gonna see why we decided to keep this and also to re-record the real ep later! It's time for the hosts to run roughshod over our educational mission and be silly goobers for an hour! It's not chapter 20 of The History of White People!

We did it chat. We got to the part with the fascism. The real-deal that makes the world worse in every conceivable way and haunts us until this very day. What that? No, not Germany in World War 2, the United States in World War 1! This week, we learn about the pogroms and Americanization campaigns that swept the nation in the early 1900's to force assimilation on everyone or send them to die on the other side of the Atlantic. Oh, and also to send the national guard to oppress literal millions of striking workers. What's that (again)? You don't feel like that is meaningfully distinct from the behavior of the American regime at any point in American history? Well, you're right. But it's different now, because America has machine guns and artillery, and that's so much worse for workers everywhere. At least the Soviets are here now and will one day ensure fascism doesn't consume the globe. It's chapter 21 of The History of White People!

Oh listener, this week we have to talk about a very important literary subject intimately related to our study of Western Imperial history. Truly, it is a podcast episode that must be made! Because art is apparently disconnected from reality and its consequences according to Vladimir Nabokov, the author of this week's book, Lolita! More specifically, the 1962 Stanley Kubrick adaptation and the 1997 Adrian Lyne adaptation. If we have to live in the society built in fawning reverence for the CSA of yore, then we might as well learn what the last ding-dang century of Western film has done with it.
And just to state it up front, this is mostly an episode about the sexual abuse of children, even more than usual for our podcast about American history! So, you know, decide for yourself if you want to listen to us tear this terrible author a new one.
