Part One: The Most Evil Company In History | BEHIND THE BASTARDS
No matter who you are, or what personal stance you happen to have on capitalism, there is probably a corporation you regard as “evil”. In Episode 20 Robert is joined by the hilarious Michael Swaim to discuss one of the most terrible companies to ever exist.

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.

@jessaminehaak8253 9 месяцев назад

I was very curious about which one could possibly be the most evil company and then as soon as Robert said 1600s I was like "ah... East India Company" lmfao

@theautomaticfiend 8 месяцев назад

Same, I was like nestle? Oh it's the voc.

@wumbojet 4 дня назад

I immediately thought about the United Fruit company because I'm latin American, then I was like: "Oh yeah, East India Company definitely."

It's always fun as a Dutchman to hear Americans pronounce Jan Pieterszoon Coen as 'Zune Cone'. It actually references his father, meaning 'son of Pieter', pronounced more like 'Yan Peterzone Coon' Fun fact: I lived very near a street named after him, because we absolutely have that kind of 'patriotism' today. Our second to last prime minister referenced the DEIC mentality as an important one we should bring back. After WWII some generals and politicians actually almost performed a coup over the governments decision to recognize Indonesian independence... in principle. It's such a fucked up history.

Fun factoid: The Swedish chapter of the EIC was probably the least successful one - mostly because the Swedes didn't really do the colonialism bit so good. They'd just come out of being at war with everyone, so their colonies were small and traded more than they conquered or enslaved. The Dutch yoinked almost all their colonies. Eventually, the Swedish EIC ended up as just a glorified ferry service between Scandinavia and the US.

@MrGksarathy Месяц назад

They were all different corporations, not branches of the same entity, though I'm sure you know that.

@stinkytoy 22 дня назад

Fun factoid addendum: so acclaimed were the Swedes for their ferrying prowess, that the company's vessels were popularly known as Swedish Fish...from which the modern candy gets its name!

@DeliveryMcGee 7 месяцев назад

So wild that the East India Companies (Dutch and British) weren't so much companies in the modern sense as semi-independent states, with their own armies. Not mercenaries, professional soldiers same as a national army.

@user-ez9ng2rw9c 23 дня назад

That's a natural consequence of no regulation on a legal company.

@ChumblesMumbles 8 месяцев назад

Ah, it had to be the British East India Company. There just can't be any competition for that title.

@karlbassett8485 8 месяцев назад

Did you not listen to the video? The evil one was the Dutch East India Company, totally separate and rivals to the British EIC. Most of the video is about the Dutch killing people and conquering lands and peoples. To a large extent the British EIC was just trading and kinda ended up controlling land.

@youmukonpaku3168 8 месяцев назад

the Dutch East India Company is the only contender, really. Distant third place is probably either an arms company or Coca Cola.

Kind of humbling to realize that by the time he was my age, Jan Piezowhatsits Coen had already tortured and killed far more people than I ever have or likely will, built a global nutmeg empire, *and* died of a horrible tropical disease.

Huge tangent guys but i am obsessed with the idea that the Cool Ranch from Doritos is a place you can visit. In my headcanon all the cowboys have 90's windbreakers and frosted tips and Guy Fieri buys his kitchen supplies there

@pogglypuff5170 Год назад

How is this not a huge channel? You deserve to at least have like 50k subs

@bt9704 11 месяцев назад

Since it is audio only most people download the podcast from other sources Apple/Spotify etc

@Crispman_777 9 месяцев назад

It's not been on YT for long. They should get a cheap camera tbh.

Because the bastards at RU-vid are too busy pushing Steven Crowder, Fox News, Ben Shapiro, Joe Rogan and Prager U content.

@zhazhagab0r 8 месяцев назад

It's been a podcast for a pretty long time- like 5 or 6 years I think? They only recently began reuploading to youtube.

@eriks74342 2 месяца назад

Be glad that there is no video. If there was, RU-vid would interrupt it with ads every five minutes. Audio-only programming is interrupted much less often.

I thought the title was a play on words and going to be about the CIA.

There are 2 other comments on this video. It’s the best piece of history content I’ve consumed for a long time. The video has under 5k views and the channel has under 10k subs. wtf?

@BloodWired 8 месяцев назад

It’s a very successful podcast

Malic acid comes from apples, for anyone who was wondering. Well, it was originally isolated from them. That’s where the name comes from. It exists in most fruits and is like citric acid’s meaner cousin. Still harmless in reasonable doses but it’s the sour part of very sour candies

@user-ei1hs5nx3q 2 месяца назад

I'd probably go for any number of companies that directly participated and profited from the Holocaust, the East India Companies are certainly the most powerful and influential companies ever (and probably the most profitable) but not necessarily directly involved in the most evil things so at best you'd wind up with a utlitarian axis because they lasted for so long which would inevitably conclude that they had achieved some good and some evil (a lot of both) but probably weren't doing human experiments on a mass scale in concentration camps for future pharmaceutical benefit.

Does destroying most of a plant species in the name of greed count as genocide? Because if so, this was multiple simultaneous genocides.

@liger04 9 месяцев назад

It's tricky. The original term "genos" is described as basically being a tribe linked by blood, but it was also used only for humans. (A noble family would collectively refer to themselves as a genos to stand apart from other nobles, for example) It only got used as a biological descriptor of a class of animals in the 1600s. The person that coined the term (300 years after the biological use came into existence) stated that he uses the definition of "gene-" for "a tribe", which would not apply to non-humans. Personally, I think that the distinction is arbitrary and intentionally rendering a non-endangered species extinct should be considered genocide from a biological standpoint. But my opinion probably won't change the mind of all of modern academia.
