There’s a reason the History Channel has produced hundreds of documentaries about Hitler but only a few about Dwight D. Eisenhower. Bad guys (and gals) are eternally fascinating. Behind the Bastards dives in past the Cliffs Notes of the worst humans in history and exposes the bizarre realities of their lives. Listeners will learn about the young adult novels that helped Hitler form his monstrous ideology, the founder of Blackwater’s insane quest to build his own Air Force, the bizarre lives of the sons and daughters of dictators and Saddam Hussein’s side career as a trashy romance novelist.
New episodes twice a week on iHeartRadio.

I do think that it should be noted that racism/colorism wasn't new in Latin America when the School of the America's was founded, even specifically views darker skinned people are more suited to labor. That specifically is found in La Raza theory and Argentina specifically has been accused of committing genocide against Black and Indigenous people (its at the very least guilty of whitening/Blanqueamiento) and definitely has erased Black Argentinan history.

[@petebondurant58]

But don't you know...every negative thing in world history (at least since 1776) is solely the fault of the United States of America?

[@Bxcivic]

It's tricky and a slippery slope but you're not wrong. The SOAs excerbated and exploited that racism and hatred. Don't get me started on Argentina. Lol.

[@Bxcivic]

Whoa. Yeah. A lot of people now don't really know about this. My family is from El Salvador. That place created monsters.

[@petebondurant58]

Yeah, because El Salvador was a beacon of peace and tranquility before that place was created.

[@Bxcivic]

@@petebondurant58 Ask your mother.

40:00 "We should cease to talk about vague and unreal objectives ..." Reading that in a history book as a 12-year-old kid in the Philippines rewired my brain

[@Rhaethyn]

The whole idea that politics, business, diplomacy, etc are zero-sum games needs to die. Raising yourself up by stepping on others isn't the only way. Honestly, that's what pisses me off the most about the ultra-wealthy; the larger the population of well-educated and knowledgeable and healthy people, the more minds there are to work on the tough problems. Like cancer research. And curing aging. And space exploration.

[@weaselprime8654]

Anti-aging research is an inherently bad idea, because any successes will immediately be captured by the ultrarich to ensure that we have not only a permanent aristocracy, but permanent individual aristocrats. The rest of us will stay mortal, because they will be more interested in making our future generations pay for their own training than in having better, more experienced, more skilled workers (who can negotiate with the power of expertise). Also, space exploration is an entropic boondoggle. Cancer research is good, though, so one out of three ain't bad, I guess.

[@function0077]

No, no, no! In America step 1 with a problem is creating it, and step 2 is ignoring it for as long as possible.

[@Marcela84br]

me as a Brazilian hearing this episode: so, this is new for US people??? must be nice (don't @ me either, listen to the episode if you want to know why so many LatAm people are bitter to this day)

[@0okamino]

Sadly, it is news for many, and too many won't even pay attention to things like that.

[@stinkytoy]

Sadly, when the vast majority of adult Americans were taught US history, we spent just a few pages in a textbook on the Spanish-American War, and then learned basically nothing else related to our interventions in Central and South America. Maybe a note about how we had the Panama Canal built, but definitely no grim details, or much clarity on why we somehow had so much influence on the project. Only those of us who seek out that information on our own get treated to the unsanitized version of our country's history. I hope the lessons in school are a bit more honest in the present day, but that probably heavily depends on what state they are taught in.

[@petebondurant58]

Yeah, Brasil is so wonderful...that they outlawed slavery TWENTY years after the United States did. Get over yourself.

[@wilberfan95]

Yeah. We're ignorant about shit like this because we're not taught about all the times we're the bad guys.

[@davidchristian8447]

When i saw this title, i thought they'd talk about Hogwarts, not the U.S. military/State Department version of Hogwarts.

[@drunkenkot]

lol. "Jesuits are cool." Uhhh... no they're not.

[@petebondurant58]

Isn't Pope Commie a Jesuit?

[@PostingCringeOnMain]

Oxford might have graduated more than 11 dictators - once Boris Johnson joked that Britain had a monopoly on the export of foreign dictators because of it

[@daniellundberg2875]

Living comfortably no your own is an illusion though, as even if you're rich, or even just middle class, you're still depending on the workers whose labour you exploit.

[@GrayYeonWannabe]

this is true even if youre poor in america lol. or anywhere. we are all interdependent. you had the start of a good thought but weirdly limited it to class, as if the u.s. and other "developed" countries dont exploit entire populations while we reap the benefits

[@daniellundberg2875]

"When some makes a move, of which we don't approve, who is it that always intervenes?"

"And now we know how to fence off the white house" but not the senate

[@mathewkelly9968]

32:46 the Chilean military is hysterically Prussian

[@petebondurant58]

BTB would blame that on America too though. 🤣

[@John-qv5ux]

And I'll personally feel that's weird, especially after the whole Pinochet thing

[@Frommerman]

Everyone forgets public health workers...
