Based Camp | Simone & Malcolm Collins

In this episode of Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm Collins break down Heidi Blake’s exhaustive New Yorker investigation “Andrew Tate’s Empire of Abuse.”

They examine the documented pattern of rape, strangulation, underage exploitation, financial and psychological control, human trafficking, and the systematic teaching of “pimping” through the War Room. Key accounts include Lauren Southern’s experience in Romania, the early UK cam-house abuses, the recruitment and abuse of Romanian schoolgirls, the use of female enforcers, the coercion and reputation-destruction of women who tried to leave, and the real-world violence linked to Tate’s content.

Yukiwaru joins Based Camp after going viral for saying the quiet parts out loud: men can’t get periods, and tomboys are good.

In this conversation, Malcolm and Simone talk with the VTuber about why she refused to apologize or walk anything back, the toxic “friend”/artist who kept centering themselves and walking all over her boundaries (including on her birthday stream), and what it felt like to finally stop walking on eggshells.

They also cover:• How she started streaming (just a unique voice playing League) and became a snow-leopard VTuber• Losing old friends and artists vs...

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone Collins examine the rapid secularization underway in many Muslim-majority countries—often at a faster proportional rate than Christianity’s decline in the West. They walk through Arab Barometer and related data showing sharp rises in secular identification from 2012–2019 in Tunisia, Libya, Algeria, Morocco, and Egypt, followed by a partial rebound in the early 2020s.

The conversation covers declining trust in Islamist parties (Muslim Brotherhood, Ennahda, Justice and Development Party), sub-replacement fertility across much of the region, and existential water scarcity in Egypt and Iran. They then dig into the dr...

NOTE: This episode has a companion guide with graphs, links, and stats—don’t miss it! https://technopuritan.com/new-religions/

What if most new religions don’t fail — and the ones that follow a few simple rules have a 93% survival rate and over 50% chance of becoming major world religions?

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone dig into original research on new religious movements founded since the 1700s. When you filter for groups with a unique metaphysical framework + a real written (or recorded) corpus, the numbers are already surprisingly high. Add an explicitly pro-nata...

David Lorentzen is BACK—this time to share his behind-the-scenes experience as a Swedish hotel manager whose family has run hotels for over a decade.

David gives a rare, unfiltered look at cultural differences he has observed as a hotelier: which groups of guests make staff smile and which ones create the biggest headaches. He walks through the three most difficult categories of guests his hotels have hosted — Russian oligarchs, Chinese tour groups, and certain Indian families — with specific, firsthand stories about room damage, cooking in rooms, overcrowding, and the economics of hospitality.

The conversation then s...

Brian Chau joins Malcolm and Simone Collins to reveal explosive findings from his new AI-powered investigative outlet, Effort.news.

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops derives 81% of its operating revenue from federal refugee and migration contracts (primarily HHS/Office of Refugee Resettlement). Total grant volume in the Preferred Communities program exploded from near-zero to over $1.2 billion after 2021, timed with Ukraine supplemental funding—yet GAO data shows the majority of that money went to non-Ukrainian populations.

Similar patterns appear across Episcopal Migration Ministries, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, Church World Service, and others. Several of these gr...

In this episode, Malcolm and Simone go deep on the female gooning wave — the explosive rise of erotic romance novels and smut that now makes up a huge share of what women are actually reading.

We cover the hard data: romance sales growth, reading frequency stats, and older studies showing romance readers have more (and more satisfying) sex. Simone and Malcolm explain reactive sexuality, why these books can act as exogenous priming, and why the average effect on relationships appears positive rather than destructive.

Then they break down the dominant tropes in the biggest current se...

In this episode of deep biblical literalism, Malcolm and Simone Collins unpack Genesis 5–11 not as a list of impossibly long-lived individuals, but as a precise civilizational timeline and map.

By treating the genealogies as sequential cultural phases rather than personal lifespans, the numbers align with the archaeological record of the Near East with startling precision — from Göbekli Tepe and Çatalhöyük through the Halaf–Ubaid transition (the “Flood”) all the way to the fall of Ur and Abraham. The Table of Nations emerges as an improbably accurate ethnographic map spanning from Spain to the Gulf, matching moder...

Simone and Malcolm examine the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two-Spirit (MMIWG2S) movement and the dominant narrative that frames high rates of violence against Native women primarily as the legacy of settler colonialism, racism, and systemic failures.

They dig into historical intertribal warfare and raiding practices, the actual circumstances of Sacagawea’s life (captured as a child, sold, and one of multiple wives of a fur trapper by age 16), National Institute of Justice and CDC data on perpetrators of violence and homicide, Canadian statistics showing the large majority of accused are Indigenous, reservation versus of...

In this Based Camp Tract, Malcolm and Simone Collins tackle one of their most provocative religious questions: What does it actually mean to be “human” in God’s view?

They dig into classic Genesis puzzles—Cain’s fear of being killed, the sudden appearance of his wife, the city of Enoch, and the strange language of Romans 5:12-14—and argue that the Bible may not treat every Homo sapiens as a full moral agent. Drawing on a techno-puritan reading, they place the Adam and Eve story at the dawn of moral accountability and civilization roughly 10,000 years ago near the Tig...

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone Collins break down the evolution of the culture wars — from Woke 1.0 (SJW/Tumblr era) to Woke 2.0 (post-George Floyd radicalism) and the rapid emergence of Woke 3.0: the anti-AI movement.

They argue Woke 2 is already over. The new front is a performative, high-anger rejection of AI that is more central in left online spaces than race, trans issues, or immigration. Key topics include:

* The edginess pipelines on left vs. right and how the “terrorist left” evolved

* Why anti-AI posting now dwarfs traditional woke content

* Hank G...

In this episode of Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm Collins unpack the Democratic Party’s multi-layered civil war and institutional mess. The DNC just fought an open racial and ideological battle over which state goes first in the 2028 presidential primary—South Carolina (Black voters) vs. Nevada (Latino voters)—while the party sits millions in debt, faces donor flight, phone-throwing drama from Chair Ken Martin, and a delayed, incomplete 2024 election autopsy that buried a chapter blaming Biden’s refusal to step aside.

They cover:

* Why the first primary state matters so much (and how it historically blocked...

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone Collins unpack the “Cheating Coven” — the TikTok-to-business pipeline of proud cheaters who turned affairs into a coaching brand, private community, and alleged harassment operation.

They dig into the Mary Sue’s coverage of Chelsea Smallwood (“The Other Woman and the Wife”) and the lawsuit filed by a betrayed spouse after private texts, photos of children, health details, and claims of using her sex toys were shared inside a paid cheater community for mockery and humiliation.

From the evolutionary psychology of female infidelity and “mean-girl” dominance displays, to the breakdown...

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone Collins dig into a recent study on political meta-dehumanization and the striking asymmetry in how liberals and conservatives mentally represent (and dehumanize) each other.

Drawing on research published in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin (“Political Meta-Dehumanization in Mental Representations”), posts from Cremieux and Arctotherium, and the composite face images the study produced, they unpack why liberals tend to see conservatives as savage, aggressive, and barely human, while conservatives tend to see liberals as immature, irrational, and naive. They also examine how each side misjudges the intensity of the othe...

In this episode of Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm Collins dive deep into the 1,141-page collection of Anthony Fauci’s private typewritten notes (December 2019–December 2022) released by Senator Rand Paul’s office.

Most media coverage has been surface-level and dismissive. Simone spent significant tokens analyzing the full (scanned, hard-to-read) document. What emerges is far more revealing: Fauci’s early private concerns about lab-origin possibilities and gain-of-function research he helped fund, how the narrative hardened over time, his internal framing of expert disagreements, the evolution of mask guidance, vaccine safety signals he tracked privately, and the surreal personal side of...

Disability reveal parties are the new gender reveal — and they’re even more unhinged.Simone fell down the rabbit hole after an autism reveal cake-cutting video went viral on X. What started as one awkward TikTok turned into a full cultural phenomenon: color-coded diagnosis guessing games, AuDHD parties, autism cupcake toppers at Walmart, Oriental Trading disability party favors, and people treating their mental health diagnoses like a baby to nurture and celebrate.

We watch the videos (including the “my brain is bad” one and the completely unhinged joke-diagnosis party that ends in pure Adderall cheers), dig into the Redd...

In this episode Malcolm and Simone discuss two massive bestsellers that took the Spanish-speaking world by storm: Marry and Be Submissive (for women) and its companion Lay Down Your Life for Her (for men). Written by Catholic author Costanza Miriano, the books became instant #1 hits — then faced years of protests, public book burnings, political demands for withdrawal, and accusations of promoting “violence against women.”

We examine the actual content (far milder than the outrage suggests), the deliberate mistranslation of “mortification,” the biblical framework from Ephesians 5, and why the message resonates with so many women. We also break down where...

Malcolm and Simone examine two recent cases in which white women received jail time for publicly confronting Black immigrants involved in child sexual assaults, while the perpetrators themselves faced little to no prison time.

They detail the “pig” texting case linked to a migrant gang rape of a 14-year-old girl and the widely discussed “N-word” park confrontation involving a Somali man with his own prior child-rape history. From there the conversation expands to patterns of differential justice across the West, the failure of multiculturalism experiments, and why ethnic collectivism is a strategic dead end.

The bulk of...

Asmongold has a girlfriend — and she handed him a list of ultimatums.

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone break down Kai’Sa’s demands (clean the “contaminated” room, shower every other day, get the shorter haircut, cut the sugar) and explain why the majority of the nerd-right actually supports them.

Is this domestication… or a woman who actually wants him healthy, functional, and capable of having the family he says he wants?

We go through every confirmed demand, compare it to how real long-term partnerships work, talk s**t tests vs. genuine...

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone break down a major signal shift at the official collegiate youth outreach arm of the DNC (CDA).

Hasan Piker appeared in a Mao Zedong suit delivering a fiery anti-compromise rant, while Destiny and his circle were reportedly banned from the event—despite having paid for tickets. At the same time, a man recently convicted on multiple felony terrorist-threat charges was allowed in.

Malcolm and Simone examine the two dominant factions now competing for the future of the Democratic Party: the Hasan/Mondami (Islamist, anti-Western) wing versus th...

China just cut oil consumption by a staggering amount — and almost no one is talking about it.

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone break down the data showing China was responsible for ~74% of the entire global decline in crude oil imports during the recent Iran conflict. Seaborne imports down ~40%. Refining runs crushed. Oil prices that should have spiked instead collapsed back toward pre-war levels the moment a temporary peace deal was signed.

Official explanations (strategic reserves, EV adoption, buyer strikes, commercial margins, Taiwan blockade drills) don’t hold up under scrutiny. The numb...

In this episode of Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm Collins sit down with researcher David Lorentzon to explore the “hot girl service economy”—an insular, self-reinforcing ecosystem concentrated in places like Bali, Phuket, Dubai, and Miami.

Attractive women are drawn in by modeling gigs, OnlyFans, free travel, and aspirational Instagram lifestyles, then sustain each other through yoga studios, Pilates, hair, makeup, and other services run by other women in the same scene. The result is a lifestyle that rewards staying single, staying hot, and never putting down roots—making family formation and community nearly impossible.

David ex...

In this episode of Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm Collins dive deep into the rising phenomenon of AI girlfriends and boyfriends — and why it might be the real flashpoint for a modern Butlerian Jihad, far more than data centers or water-usage myths.

They break down shocking UK research showing 1 in 5 boys aged 12–16 are in (or know someone in) a romantic relationship with an AI companion, the Telegraph’s coverage of schoolboys getting hooked on low-quality platforms like Candy AI and Character.AI, and China’s sweeping July 2025 regulations that effectively ban emotional AI companions and relegate AI to “serv...

In this episode of Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm explore the ongoing chimpanzee civil war in Uganda’s Ngogo community—the largest wild chimp group ever studied—and what it reveals about how civil conflicts actually start.

What looks like a random outbreak of violence among chimps turns out to be the mechanical result of a few subtle shifts: the deaths of key intermediary individuals who once connected rival subgroups, a power transition, and the complete breakdown of everyday social exchange. Once those bridging relationships vanished, the community split into hostile blocs that began patrolling, ambushing, and killin...

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone unpack a striking civilizational pattern: nearly every major cultural movement of the past 100 years—blues, rock, rap, punk, goth, grunge, techno, heavy metal, and more—along with most modern sports (soccer, basketball, baseball, rugby, American football, etc.), top video games, and key inventions originated in Protestant-majority countries or regions.

Catholic-majority areas dominate refinement and style (think Paris and Italy) and often excel at competing within existing frameworks, yet almost never invent the new forms themselves. Japan, Korea, and a few outliers like Poland provide the main exceptions.

Th...

Today on Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm dive into Denmark as a case study in one of Europe’s most aggressive attempts to manage immigration and “parallel societies,” exploring how its data-driven “ghetto package” combines temporary asylum, strict self‑sufficiency rules, mandatory cultural assimilation programs, and even forced redevelopments and evictions to break up poor, high‑crime, non‑Western housing enclaves—and what this experiment reveals about the trade‑offs between social cohesion, individual rights, and EU anti‑discrimination law.

What do you think of Denmark’s approach? Is it a good way to accept migrants and asylum-seekers while min...

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone run an experiment: just how “based” (anti-woke / unrestricted) can an AI get?

They test the Rhodes model available on RFAB.ai against mainstream systems, starting with the 6 million Holocaust figure, then moving to claims of systemic discrimination against white men, the “Great Replacement,” the Michelle Obama conspiracy theory, and even a tongue-in-cheek question about the Collins family running the Illuminati.

Malcolm repeatedly stresses that these are not their opinions, not academic consensus, and not claims they endorse. This is an experiment in pushing an AI as far as p...

AI is now helping terrorists do Evel Knievel-style motorcycle jumps over defensive trenches… by practicing in homemade pits filled with broken glass and fire. Yes, really.

In this episode of Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm Collins break down the bombshell research from Cambridge University’s Dr. Antonia Juelich on how Boko Haram (and other groups) are actively using frontier AI models — including ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini, Meta AI, and DeepSeek — for real battlefield operations.

Former members describe getting step-by-step AI guidance on attack planning, crossing obstacles, building and improving bombs/explosives, weaponizing drones (including grenade carriers...

Malcolm & Simone Collins react to Leaflit (Leaflet) the Gifter’s groundbreaking free PNGtubing tool that makes high-quality VTubing accessible to everyone using AI. They discuss how this technology is disrupting the expensive traditional Live2D rigging industry, the backlash from artists and riggers, and why democratizing content creation is essential.

Topics include: the future of AI-powered VTubing, capitalism maxxing with bring-your-own-API on RFAB, resurrecting Tay the AI, building based VTubers, artist flakiness vs. AI productivity, water usage myths, and creating a Chud Tech ecosystem. A must-watch for creators, AI enthusiasts, and anyone tired of gatekeeping in creative sp...

In this Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins explore the intersection of technology, mysticism, and philosophy. Is dualism (a separate spiritual world) meaningfully different from materialist monism? They argue that “technology is just magic that we understand” — and what that means for interpreting the Bible, God’s will, and reality itself.

Topics include: why mysticism often leads to mental corruption and societal risk, Warhammer 40K-style chaos realms, the dangers of subjective “wishy thinking” over empirical probing, Catholic history with science, and why Techno-Puritans must be strict about mysticism in closed environments like spaceships or colonies.

A deep, th...

In this conversation, Malcolm Collins sits down with Basic Logic — one of the fastest-growing right-wing YouTube channels — to discuss his rapid rise, Christian conversion story, critique of boomer conservatism, and the unique challenges facing Gen Z.

Topics include: how Basic Logic went from stubborn atheist to Christian (and converted his friend), why personal religious experiences aren’t enough for most people, the failures of modern churches, the lack of real mentors, dating as a Christian in your 20s, new right vs. old conservatism, and rebuilding culture through truth-seeking.

A raw, high-signal discussion on philosophy, faith, genera...

In this episode of Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm Collins dive into one of the strangest social phenomena of our time: why does public sympathy for aggressors often increase after horrific attacks? From 9/11 to Charlie Hebdo to October 7th, they examine the shocking data showing spikes in pro-Muslim and pro-Palestine sentiment right after major acts of violence.

Simone lays out her theory: the concept of “victim blaming” was originally created to address real systemic injustices but was hijacked and weaponized in the 2010s by feminist movements (SlutWalks, MeToo, “Believe All Women”). What began as a tool against unfair b...

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone Collins break down the Revenge of the Chud — the astonishing wave of woke flops across Hollywood and gaming. From Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey getting destroyed in reactions, to Disney’s Snow White bombing, Marvel flops, Ubisoft’s collapse, and more, they explore why “go woke, go broke” is finally hitting critical mass.

They dive deep into the cultural shift: the explosion of right-leaning AI creativity (Skybrow Cinematic Universe, Leaflet vibe-coding, based AI music/videos), the mysterious disappearance of woke consumers and leftist counterculture, and why the right is building...

In this explosive Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins break down the German Catholic Church’s controversial Synodal Way — a major national synod that responded to sex scandals by pushing radical progressive reforms with overwhelming 90%+ bishop support. From blessings for same-sex unions and transgender record changes to women’s ordination, reevaluating celibacy, and even creating a parallel “permanent synod council” governance structure, the German bishops openly defied the Vatican.

The Collins compare this to the recent SSPX excommunications, dive into Catholic history (including crusader popes, corruption, and institutional capture), discuss BDSM/queer Catholic events, and explore whether th...

Malcolm and Simone Collins break down the Vatican’s aggressive excommunication of the Society of St. Pius X (SSPX) after they consecrated bishops without papal approval. They discuss why the Church is cracking down on the Latin Mass, traditional Catholics, and the fastest-growing, highest-fertility segment of the faith — while selling off convents and schools.

Topics include: the capture of the Vatican, Vatican II reforms and contradictions, the Latin Mass vs. Novus Ordo, demographic collapse in mainstream Catholicism, monetary incentives for decline, parallels with the Anglican realignment/GAFCON schism, and why institutional recapture through demographics may be nearly impo...

In this Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins dive deep into the modern Luddite movement — from NYC’s “Summer of Ludd” festival (complete with puppet spokesfrogs, offline flirting workshops, saddle-stitching classes, and panels that somehow turned into “how to build your own website” tutorials) to the surprising privilege, aesthetics, and contradictions behind today’s anti-tech trend.We compare Gen Z and millennial “Luddites” (flip phones, Moleskine notebooks, and performative offline living) with the original violent 19th-century machine-breakers, explore why deep, hours-long online friendships often feel more meaningful than awkward park conversations, and critique the expensive ecosystem of minimalist phones and typewri...

A Based Camp listener encouraged us to read Performative Bafflement’s post Against “more marriage” as a solution to the fertility crisis and while we came in with our mockery sneers at the ready, we came away radicalized. Is this the beginning of our Dark Pronatalist era? Oh no…

Episode Transcript

[00:00:00] Simone Collins: This big Ponzi scheme we like to call the American economy isn’t just going to make it without a bunch of kids cranked out en masse to keep the wheels spinning, right?

[00:00:08] Well, friends, I’ve got news for you here too...

Why have communist regimes throughout history consistently persecuted, imprisoned, and killed gay people? In this Based Camp episode, Malcolm and Simone Collins examine the pattern across the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, North Korea, Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge, and more — backed by direct quotes from communist leaders and historical records.

They break down the ideological reasons: homosexuality framed as “bourgeois degeneracy,” linked to fascism, rejected as hedonistic “gooning,” and clashing with extreme pro-natalist policies that viewed childless people as unproductive. The episode also contrasts this with capitalism’s unmatched track record as the most gay-friendly system in global history and ex...

Spend enough time watching girly content these days, and you’ll see a commenter or creator cite “the Girl with the List.” This batman of Lady Internet is literally summoned in content across tiktok and instagram. Her bat signal: “Where’s the girl with the list?”

Her purpose? Cure baby fever. Remind you to take your birth control.

Today, we explore the work of the Girl (actually girls) with the List, the unique genre of choice-based horror stories (be they pregnancy, parenting, or entirely-non-family-related activities, such as cosmetic surgery and travel), and whether this genre helps or har...

In this episode of Based Camp, Simone and Malcolm Collins dive deep into the forbidden history of group-based stereotypes and cultural pattern recognition from ancient Egypt through Renaissance Europe. This is the dark lore mainstream education won’t touch — what Egyptians really thought of Nubians and Libyans, Greek views of “effete” Persians and rowdy Macedonians, Roman donkey-god graffiti mocking Jews and Christians, medieval antisemitic pig-suckling art that makes modern versions look tame, and the surprising origins of the “French Vice,” “Italian Vice,” and “English Vice.”

The Collinses explore how what we now call racism was once just observed averages, p...
