I’m joined by Martin Sellner , leader of Identitäre Bewegung Österreich (Identitarian Movement of Austrian). His movement supports remigration out of Europe, what we would call mass deportations. Eery similarities pervade the overwhelming flood of immigrants into both of our countries, both inexplicably borderless, and the reactions are also quite similar, although America has perhaps more excuses...

Why did Gavin Newsom lie about his promise to conduct one million acres of controlled burns, over-stating them by 690%? Why didn’t Rick Caruso’s properties burn while everything else did? What’s the primary cause of the LA fire? Arson? Empty reservoirs? Bad forest management? What does containment actually mean? Why don’t we do controlled burns like the Native Americans did? I speak with the Gabri...

Talking with fascinating poster Titus Techera about his article “ The Third Wave of Journalism ,” in which he argues that the era of heroic objective journalism was no more than a fleeting manifestation of Boomer naivety, and that the internet has heralded a return to the natural state of pamphleteering. “The three waves of journalism—the successive attempts to connect political technologies, that...

It’s an art kid double header with troublemaker Nic Dolinger, following yesterday’s episode with effete art boi Noah Kumin. We learn yet more about Dimes Square, despite protestations, of course, that there is no Dimes Square and everyone involved in it is too cool to be involved in anything ever.

On this week’s Carousel we have anon Meta Prime . I like to think of him as the halfway house of the Dissident Right. Not an insult; it’s a beautiful role to play. He helps people who have recently “broken free from the mainstream delusion,” escape not into nothingness (total disconnection from friends/family/work) or toxicity (conspiritard obsessions), but into a meaningful existence as a noticer...

NOTE: Due human error, this episode was not properly uploaded to Spotify and Apple. I am re-uploading it now, along with episode 61 with Sean Josh Lekach. People call him trend forecaster but this is wrong. Sean Monahan, like Brad Troemel, is artist-as-analyst. He thinks like an agency strategist, but he’s rejected the longhouse. This has led him to a strange sort of celebrity among culturenauts....

Another day another based founder. Matt Loberstein built Rhizal Shoes , a “grounded” and “barefoot” shoe company after getting sick of shilling white label DTC crap and wanting to create something actually beautiful. His shoes are the very definition of Anti-Synthetic Capitalism, the term now memorialized via The New York Times article which referenced WILL , Hestia Cigarettes, and I. We also call...
