Man, if you made a movie villain based on Paul Schäfer people would tell you to dial it back for being too unbelievable. Especially with that Santa Claus thing.
My theory is that whole hip world was massively traumatized from 1930 to 1985, first by World War 2 and then by the omnipresent specter of atomic apocalypse, and we've been feeling the aftershocks of that unresolved psychic violence ever since.
also to be considered is that the first generation or 2 raised the subsequent two that felt the latter highly stressful atmosphere, boomers in particular but at least part of gen X too. While their parents were the ww2 generations, either young adults, many that fought as soldiers or kids that grew up in that environment and many of their parents lived through ww1.
@@shaunsmith9013 That's part of how fascism works, there has to be some sort of grave outside threat to their 'good traditional [insert supremacism here] way of life' or nobody will follow them. Turns out that people only get real stupid if they're in a constant state of panic, the second they're able to think things over a bit it turns out that maybe we shouldn't commit war crimes on a scale so large it is physically impossible for a human mind to imagine.
That might be even aplicable toa lot of history, we ust lack reliable data do make any good case there. Its like we stand on the world created by oprior generations, for better and worse. Also generational trauma might be more common tan awareness is there
@@shaunsmith9013 i mean anti communist messaging has always been better funded then antifascist messaging. The rich happily fund the former and plenty of them loved the fascists, when they weren't members outright, for their anticommunist activity. More over given how many businesses had close ties to the Nazis in particular, it's no wonder that there would be a proactive desire to move on and not looking into things too closely. Reducing fascists to cartoon villains, while pulling oh so many into western governments. So it has been in every rich and powerful (capitalist) persons interest to fear monger about communism and obfuscate the extent of fascisms spread among both sides of the conflict both before and after the war.
At first I was like, hey this guest sounds an awful lot like Dr. Migleemo from lower decks. Then they start talking about Star Trek... Then I check the Star Trek wiki for Dr. Migleemo. Oh, look, Paul F. Tompkins what a familiar name lol
8:19 For the record, the Wermacht was the German Armed Forces, while the Heer was the Army, the Luftwaffe the Air Force, and the Kreigsmarine the Navy.
The sad part of that: Dwight Schulz, the guy who played Barclay, became a bit of a right-wing nut job birther. I'm told he's always been a conservative, but he jumped down the rabbit hole that many right-wing celebrities who aren't Kelsey Grammer did. There's a reason why he doesn't show up at Trek cons and subsequent works, not even _Lower Decks._
When you said "Colonia Dignitidad" it hit me like a rock to the face because I remembered watching THe Wolf House and finding out it was about that cult, so I was extremely interested to learn more about its origins.
I've learned about a lot of insane, evil shit over the years, but this is just off the scale. I thought there was no way this could be as bad as the description made it seem, but it's so much worse.
I just randomly discovered this podcast last night and I’ve already heard Pedro Pascal’s name get dropped two or three times 😂. It always sticks out to me because I’ve been called “Pedro Pascal from Wish” and other variations of that. Probably just because I have a mustache
You know, I thought I'd heard some wild stuff on this podcast over the many episodes, but murdering Santa to further indoctrinate those kids was something I wasn't prepared for.
On the one hand, having Paul's name in parentheses just after the description of the cult leader seems slightly unfortunate because it could be interpreted as though Paul is the cult leader. But on the other hand it does allow me to just search "behind the bastards paul f tompkins" and have it come up immediately, because sometimes I just want to re-listen to his episodes XD
One of my favorite memories of PFT is when an ex friend of mine tried to make a riff on a tweet of his, and he basically shit on them, because their humor was trash and it just came off as them being shitty to a comedian.
When me and my brother were forced to live with my dad every Xmas he would load a deer rifle and every Easter a 12 gauge. He’d tell us he’s sad that the mag only holds 5 rounds or he’d get “all the deer and that fat bastard too” often we’d eat venison on Xmas and Hasenpfeffer on Easter. Yep quite the bastard!
first the accustic guitar is great in itself, And oh god, sincethe hospital , how can he beee somchworse than the titesay, is the the most evil bastard so far :O , a tier list could be interesting if very macabre ,bur he might win :(
Gaslighting is the trusted respected individual telling you that you’re the crazy one. And changing your reality to propagate that illusion of mental dysfunction. In a cult situation it is made easier because there are other around you to bring affirmation to you about said changing reality.
This is kinda like that one story where these two kids didn't get what they wanted for Christmas one year, so the next year they murdered Santa Claus. When they go to tell their uncle what they've done, they can't find him for some strange and mysterious reason. And the narrator mentions that he never did see his uncle after that, but does not appear to grasp the connection. ... Actually, this is nothing like that. That was dark humor, this time that Paul F. Tompkins murdered Santa (awkward parenthesis joke) is just fucked up.
I saw the title and was shocked that Paul F. Thompkins did all that.
Wow, y'all. Talk about titles I never expected to get past RUclips's algorithm.
RUclips are cowards
Right. Paul F. Tompkin? Smh
(Im joking)
I mean, they do put bastards in every title - maybe it's kinda like a vaccine + booster, the algorithm has just been building immunity to mild no-no words & every single asshats name here, so it's ignored? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I just can't believe Paul F. Tompkins would do all those terrible things
@@TheNerindil He was such a quiet guy. Always said "good morning" and helped with groceries 😮
This is one of those titles that perfectly sums up the tone of the podcast.
I come here to listen about horrible people when my dominatrix has a day off. Don't kink shame me.
The santa claus thing is extra wild like not just saying "no he's not real" no no no "he's dead!"
Fun side note, Pedro Pascal's parents were anti-Pinochet dissidents, if I remember correctly so he has a proper tie to this Chilean story
Indeed, his late mother was a distant relative of Salvador Allende
I too have a magnetic attraction to Pedro Pascal.
Good he never founded a cult, and probaly political is toopregressive to ever try to, but he would be unstoppable. Too. He is veery attractive.
I love when Mr.Peanutbutter talks to my favorite podcast host
Larry David's Lawyer
the guy who introduces Tenacious D(or secretly the Devil if you've seen the Pick of Destiny)
God I would absolutely love for someone to animate Mister Peanutbutter speaking some of the grim lines from this episode
Holy shit I knew his voice was familiar: now I'm just imagining Robert is interviewing Mr Peanutbutter
Man, if you made a movie villain based on Paul Schäfer people would tell you to dial it back for being too unbelievable. Especially with that Santa Claus thing.
My heart fucking sank when I saw the name in the parenthesis cuz I thought the episode was about him lmao
6:30 as a short sighted person that frequently jabs my eyelid with a pencil while trying to write, this makes complete sense to me
Feel like having the guests name in brackets after the title might be a bad idea.

But funny seems to be more PTSD from imagined communism than the actual fascism

What is this, a crossover episode?
Fork your knots towards your buddy not your body. Lesson learned.

I completely forgot that I am from the same town as that guy.
This guest sounds like he'd make a terrible ship's councilor.
I can't believe he didn't know Tendi and Rutherford were married, or that they both loved him!
ha star trek lower decks!
Is it me or has LOWER DECKS exposed pop culture wise in 2023?

@06:30 that must work the same way anime characters exclusively fall ass to mouth
Was it a guitar or a ukalele?
I'm a little impressed he hit santa. Decades before he would have shot his other eye out... Which would probably have been better.
One of my favorite memories of PFT is when an ex friend of mine tried to make a riff on a tweet of his, and he basically shit on them, because their humor was trash and it just came off as them being shitty to a comedian.
A single u seperates Bruce Falconer the reporter and Bruce Faulconer the DBZ composer
Hey for real though, Christian guitar music that is pretty good is the album Exhumed of the Earth by Paramaecium. A solid 9/10 project
Is that a train in the background?

Watch The Wolf House, it's an incredible movie and also based on this.🎉
legitimately hard to listen to this one.
Hey guys, you can't say that Santa doesn't exist. I've got kids listening! ;)
my bad, I thought this was the start of the Boy Scouts ep.
