But yeah, this leads us perfectly into your most recent video. We wanted to talk about how Empire treats everyone who has a bit of imagination and chooses to speak up as we've said in the beginning of today's episode.

But first for those who might not have watched it.

Tell us what's been happening to your second favorite shower buddy David.

Yeah, so it's a David McBride just got sentenced to prison two days ago.

He's a he's a whistleblower so he was a military lawyer for the SAS in Afghanistan and they were just I mean like there's no there's no good way to invade a country but like they were like uniquely fucked they just like crazy crazy

executions like ork style stuff like these guys were you know executing a guy and then like a disabled man and taking his prosthetic leg and keeping it for a souvenir that they drink beers out of.

That's like, you know, killing kids, point blank.

Just, yeah, insane stuff.

And regular empire stuff. Yeah, yeah, insane stuff and regular empire stuff.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, yeah, it is just kind of the consequences of

of imperial expansion.

It's you train people to do these horrible things,

to keep everyone in line but it's funny with a guy like David because obviously like he he came in thinking you know he's a he's a soldier so obviously he's like very much bought into the narrative he's he's like very much brought into the narrative

he's spreading democracies like defending the West from

terrorism or whatever the hell is you know it's it's absurd now especially for him in retrospect but like the the process of

like seeing these war crimes or like being aware of them and then reporting them

and having your superiors say like no no shut up don't worry about that the process

like eventually radicalized him and he's just like he almost doesn't even care

about war crimes he's like this whole this whole thing's fucked like what the

fuck's happening I got gotta it's funny it takes it takes that to

radicalize someone but yeah but you know he got completely fucked it was

it's the it's a very very sad story he leaked the war
