I mention decline a lot on here, in passing, as in decline of the western empire. But I don't feel I have a good grasp of the history of empires more generally (well, things that have gotten that label in history, like the roman empire).

And I don't want to end up in bougie land trying to learn more about it, cause I figure they're going to romanticize empires more so.

I haven't heard anything transphobic from him directly. But I've seen people from hexbear accuse him of that, and I just took it for granted that it was true. The book mentioned earlier is the only written thing I've read from Hudson. I saw him for the first time on Ben Norton's YT channel weeks ago. So the book and this interview are my only 2 interactions with him and his works/beliefs.
