The Carousel Podcast

Ben Appel, author of Cis White Gay (Simon & Schuster), says that 80% of gay men agree with his stance: Queer is not Gay. They are in fact completely different things, a fact which I came face to face with in Western Massachusetts. As Ben puts it “Queer is a politics, Gay is a sexuality.” This wedge between the adherents of LGTBQ and the actual real life gay male community is a growing political and social chasm that Ben worries could lead to horrifying results, if people don’t speak up.

Chatting about Primetime, Sound of Freedom, and Digger with movie critic Christian Toto of Hollywood in Toto.

Kevin DeAnna, formerly of VDare, current host of the great stream Identity Politics, joins me to discuss Indians in Texas and other race questions.

Some crazy Lindsay Clancy case news as it turns out one single juror is holding out against 11. The defense moved to dismiss that juror, which means likely that he or she was the sole vote for conviction. That implicates, I believe, Massachussetts unique insanity defense law, and that in turn implicates pretty much the entire destruction of Western Civilization. The thumb in the dam. The key comparison is between post partum/pharma meds and drunkenness, which cannot be used in insanity defense.

I explain it all in this short solo episode! Also a few more thoughts on...

I draw on my experiences working in Homicide at the Manhattan DA’s office to help explain why the Flock Camera debate is so two-sided.

I think “The New Censorship” focuses on keeping people in existing “roles,” some of which have existed forever, some of which are new. I explain in this solo ep re things like Spencer Pratt, nepo babies, Rebecca Katz, the new algorithms, and retatrutide.

A fascinating conversation about the Trump assassination attempts committed by Thomas Crooks and Ryan Routh with journalist Ken Silva, author of The Trump Assassination Plots: What the Investigations Missed and Why it Matters.

So, repeat guest and total genius Brian Chau (Brian Chau) joins me to discuss his new independent news service, Effort News. Now, if you know me, you will know that I am inherently skeptical of all such new openly RW media organizations, but Chau has completely blown my mind with his work on this one.

He’s using AI to weaponize damning data about rampant globalist manipulations and offering real remedies on the page. Here are two examples:

In one story, he shows how just before Trump took office the federal government exponentially increased payments to...

Lots of intense talking big words with good friend Walt Bismarck, who has been killing it recently with his epically honest and fascinatingly written pieces about relationships with e-girls and other micro e-celebrity GONZO dramas.

This one really stuck with me, start with this:

This also an incredible one about coming off adderall:

Charming young man Derek Suszko joins to discuss controversy sparked on Substack by his nuanced argument that trad men must marry BPD art hoes. What does it all mean? We discuss.

On the timeline this week, I was DESTROYED Spencer Pratt and EVISCERATED by Christopher Rufo.

This implicates by response (above) to Spencer Pratt’s recent 9 minute video describing what happened in his election loss (below):

Several people have asked me to address this question, and what I meant by my comments, so I expand in the video above. My position is basically that Spencer is being turned into the character from the Daniel Kaluuya character in the all-time great Black Mirror episode Fifteen Million Merits. He’s a slave who competes in a American Idol type...

Short stream talking about the fascinating concept of Alpine Divorce and the first ever Austrian homicide trial where an influencer was charged for abandoning his girlfriend on the mountain. Then addressing the mass brigading of MAMA and I that occurred this week on X.

One of MAMA’s exciting young new writers is Cam Pain. We discuss two of his latest pieces, one about the Total Torta Takeover of the workplace, which led to his firing.

And the next about spending a disappointing Fourth of July in supposedly “The Most Patriotic City in America.”

Hello all.

* I wrote a piece for Compact magazine about Citizen Vigilante and the rise of the Right Wing exploitation film. Includes list of these films, many of which produced by Dallas Sonnier.

A non-exhaustive list of basedsploitation films would include Bone Tomahawk (2015), Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017), Dragged Across Concrete (2018), Run. Hide. Fight. (2020), Sound of Freedom (2023), Nefarious (2023), and Muzzle (2023). Run. Hide. Fight. Infidels, a sequel to Run. Hide. Fight. coming this fall, will almost certainly make the list.

FIRST 30 MINUTES FREE

Someone send this to JD Vance.

Chatting with genuinely probably the smartest guy on Twitter, potentially even smarter than Yarvin, Nemets. He explains history of the Southern Poverty Law Center (AKA The Northern Affluence Crime Center), along with other clear policy wins the Trump administration should be focusing on. All in all, it amounts to Republicanmaxxing, and not in the way that you think.

Isaac explores the political landscape surrounding Trump's influence, the regime's power, and the potential for systemic change in America. He debates whether Trump's actions have genuinely challenged the regime or if they are mere tweaks within a controlled system.

* Trump’s influence on the regime

* The Black Pill and Plan Trust camps

* Systemic control and regime stability

* Impact of Trump’s policies on US politics

* Potential for systemic change or systemic entrenchment

Propaganda expert Jacob Siegel (Jacob Siegel) has written extensively about the network of governmental organizations and NGOs that, in the last decade, and formed what amounts to an official censorship bureau in the United States. His new book The Information State covers the extensive details of this sprawling leviathan, and how it attempts to control thought via a very Obama-coded approach called “Whole-of-Society”: basically managing humans like insects.

Jacob recently had a review of his book taken down for extremely dubious reasons, largely involving a “disinformation expert” Renee DiResta who herself is involved in disinformation campaigns like The Birm...

Substacker King Salmon ( King Salmon) discusses his resonant piece “Descending” about leaving Israel because Israelis are too annoying to be around. Also, Alana Newhouse’s viral piece “Zionism for Everyone”—another unbearable allegation that “everyone is just jealous of Israel?” Or is Israel a genuine model for other nations? We analyze.
