Damn. The double whammy of "things someone into guns on Lemmy won't like"
Brandon Herrera AND Forgotten weapons
Shame too. I quite like engineering. But fascists also like it.

Don't forget it's on YouTube (Lemmy hates that) and uploaded from a capitalist country (bad) on the planet earth (that's where Trump lives).

Since when was Ian fascist?

Tried to publish a book written by a Nazi then cried about it when everyone said "No I'm not buying a book written by a Nazi"
Its how a lot of us learned about Ukraine's Azov battalion and their Swarze sonne symbol.

Fascist? He has written for the Jacobin.

Google turns up nothing. You're gonna have to link it if true.
Also this was a controversy from 3-4 years ago. I'm willing to let the man grow. Unfortunately this very thread starting with him working with Brandon "Don't simp for communists" Herrera.
So there's also that.

Yeah I don't think that's the guy who was imbedded with the Azov battalion during the Ukrainian civil uprising in the early 2010s
That's also not Ian McCallum.
But that is the guy I recommended earlier in a different thread.
Are you confused or am I?

I completely agree that Herrera is a MAGAt bootlicker but I don't have political expectations of Ian since, as far as I am aware, he doesn't publicize his politics.

Oh same honestly. I think he ultimately did the right thing with the publishing issue. He also made the correct business move sorta staying out of it when Karl Kasarda was having a spat with Browning and the ar15.com forum.
Ian's dome a pretty good job being a neutral observer and has course corrected both times he's started to swerve.

Which book was that?
nagaram@startrek.website · 1 pts · 303d
"Cuba Since the revolution of 1959: a critical assessment" by Samuel Farber
I have not read this book yet and only have it because I was in Haymarkets book club for a while. So I can't attest to the quality other than I generally trust Haymarket.

Were you not saying this was the book Ian tried to have published?
nagaram@startrek.website · 3 pts · 302d
Dude it was me who got confused LMAO
While we were having this back and forth I was also talking in another thread about wanting to read more Cuban history.
Let me find the actual controversy book.

There's only archives of this page says reddit
I wouldn't be surprised if the guy did publish it under a pen name and different title.
