The GOA Gun Owners of America tries to overturn the ban on military weapons. They have a few cases in court for that reason. I know in libertarian circles the NRA is viewed as sell outs because they supported background checks and lisences for gun sellers. Also among libertarians there are prominent people who think nuclear weapons should be privately owned. So dont be too keen on defeating the NRA

im wondering if there is a way to download the episodes from the patreon app on my android phone. as a workaround i have to go to the website instead hold down the link and tap the download option but this isnt there in the app.

Celtic and Rangers aren't the only football teams that adopted a foreign conflict. In the Netherlands you've got fans of Ajax (a club with some Jewish roots) waving Israeli flags and their rivals Feyenoord waving Palestinian ones. And Celtic and Rangers exported their rivalary to Germany: FC St. Pauli is a club from Germany with a traditionally left-wing fanbsase. Their politics led to a fan friendship with Celtic. This led to the fans of the other Hamburg club HSV and Rangers linking up. A few years ago when HSV played Celtic in the Europa League the Hamburg fans organized a giant choreography displaying a Union Jack in their club colors with the slogan "No surrender": <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vqvY70NugQ" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vqvY70NugQ</a>

at 1:28 Mark brought up the scots-irish colonials. He's right. Many signers were of ulster decent, and many of those who signed up to fight with the continental army wree scorts-rish, iirc. From what i've read, the most obvious reason they got involved in the fighting was that many of the men had been involved in martial jobs, like guarding forntier settlemnts, and so on. many of the Ulster Scots worked the frontier, migrated and settled further south and south east, They never liekd being associated with Ireland, and really pushed the idea of being American now, and not scots-irish.

was thinking about that during that segment, which was focused on how the Scots, like Hume's "Northern British" or whatever he said, became such loyal agents for the empire abroad, Was it born out of a disgust with all the impotent Jacobin revolution and independence movements of the late 17th and early 19 century? Perhaps a certain segment of the population that had a reaction to the shame and failure to integrate and get on with things.

What is the song that plays around the 51 minute mark, and who is it by? Searching the lyrics on Google turns up nothing.

I play my episodes in Podcast Addict after clicking on the link in the Patreon App

I'll second this, Shazam also yields zero results.

re: the expectation that fighters are oppressed. I think this may have been discussed before, but it's a very American idea that violent revolution is due to oppressed peoples wanting liberty and freedom from their oppressors. It's America applying their own understanding of the American revolution to other parts of the world. I suspect it's also a basis behind the idea of 'the people rising up' that was part of American plans for regime change in the Bay of Pigs, Iraq and elsewhere.

Maybe it's from their favorite indie label, who they plugged a few episodes ago

scottish nationalism? yaaaaaaaaaawn. not very war nerdy. can someone tell me if its about like scottish medieval history? or is this like contemporary stuff?

Well, that must have been part of it--the sheer absurdity of that reactionary sentimentality--but there was also a chance to go to work for the most successful empire in modern history and be seen as a fellow white Protestant roughly equal among Britons abroad (unlike at home).
