I am actively selling my car online and had a good “death to Israel” exchange with a local Arab 🤷♂️
“Professional author” – yeah, sure thing.
I lost my shit harder than I should have at that, can’t lie. 🤣
Eco with his “fuzzy” definition sounds like he’s trying to echo Wittgenstein’s family resemblances
Do we need to have the aw-GUS-tin vs. aw-gus-TEEN conversation again?

Mike- your rant 10 minutes in on hour 2 is pure gold!
Thousands of words to say “I don’t like things I don’t like, and anyone who does like them is dumb and bad.”
Umberto Ecco’s “Ur Fascism” sounds like a massive cope intellectuals can use to deceive themselves into believing Fascism has no inherent appeal; that it’s just an aberration of history.
Tactical Nepotism
If Elijah Schaffer isn’t Jewish why did he tweet “My family is Jewish and I want to #BanTheADL”?
Yes, even in that debate with Joel he moderated he alluded to him having Jewish family members.
i thought goering said if i hear talk of idealism i reach for my gun.
as in people who espouse idealism publicly are partisans seeking to change the guard.
ate reactionaries, ate liberals/libertarians, ate marxists splittin my tribe, not denying classes just dun like the infighting.
luv me technologically superior ethnostate within the germanischen reich.
The simple way to explain the Helldivers thing is that where Starship troopers fails at critique of the “right”, Helldivers succeeds but directed at Democracy.

Mfw I see the thumbnail for this episode.
I appreciate how quickly Mike can process a take when it’s tangential to the deep dive. “Indonesia will not normalize with Israel. Not going to happen.” That’s the good stuff right there.
As usual, the hostility towards fascism is just a moralistic outrage towards boundaries being harnessed by cynical actors who continuously position themselves to benefit.
Umberto Eco did a book The Prague Cemetery which is about the Protocols of Zion. Don’t know what it’s like. He’s basically Dan Brown for middle-class intellectuals – or Dan Brown is the Walmart own-label Eco.
Great deconstruction of distinction. My girlfriend works for the state and is a “progressive” Catholic, so I consume my TRS alone, but I shared this one with her and it got some wheels turning. She is wicked smart and sick of being liberal but can’t find the exit. Thanks bro.
Great show, Mike. You kill it solo.
Libtards are extremely tactical in their enjoyment of media. The consensus around art is that the meaning is what you take away from it. Having said that, that tranny clearly cherrypicked what they wanted to see in that Helldiver 2 analysis, and completely ignored the blatant critique of democracy and modern society. The tranny doesn’t even have a concise idea of what fascism is, and her tweet thread is basically “all these things resemble something right wing therefore fascist!”. Anyways, you’ll still have entire communities of libtards (Metal Archives) that ignore the fact their music is made by Nazi’s and… Read more »
I enjoy following your adventures on Twitter (and boosting all of your posts). All our guys need to get back into ze pooblic space known as “X” and start wrecking again, because they’re missing out on the fun
Great show, Mike. I’m in high spirits after seeing all the beautiful white people in Idaho today. There is hope!
“When I hear talk of culture, I reach for my gun” was actually corrupted from a scene in the play Schlageter, written by NSDAP member Hanns Johst and performed for Hitler on his 44th birthday.
Albert Leo Schlageter was a member of the Freikorps, executed by the French in 1928 for railway sabotage. His life is the subject of the play, and the scene where this misattributed quote originates is just a Freikorps guy joking about not wanting to hear any republican ideological garbage.
Great show! Tell em, Mike!
Libtoid, lmao
Citing Evola as a fascist influence is a typical midwit response “everyone I don’t like is a fascist.”
Evola was rejected by the SS, an organization that allegedly was into esotericism and magic. The Nazi obsession with the Holy Grail, Spear of Destiny, Ark of the Covenant etc is mostly a post-war invention of fiction writers and Hollywood.
Not that there wasn’t some dabbling in esotericism in the NSDAP by some party members, but that has been wildly overblown. It wasn’t important or foundational to the party.
Goblin Moike was not an expected arc in this story

Stonehenge was built by Whites who liked putting things on top of other things.

Randbot loves Helldivers, team
Hail Mike Heck!
Whenever boomer conservatives laugh at “gays for Palestine” crap, just simply say how your average Israeli Jew hates Christians, hates their wife’s black son , and loves butt tranny stuff.
Despite all of anti Nazi propaganda, Germans are loved across all people. Meanwhile despite all of the sappy Holocaust propaganda and trying to meme Jews as harmless funny quirky little angels, everyone across the planet hates Israelis.
This always stuck with me:
When I was in nursing school I did a med/surg rotation and one of my patients was a septuagenarian Vietnamese man.
When he read my last name on my badge he said in extremely broken English, “Oh, German? You are very smart people. We love you guys in Vietnam. I’m in good hands.”
.
Joel Barry is also the type of Jew who’s says Jews “were building the Temple of Solomon while you White people were wearing blue paint and living in mud hurts”. Jews are the original “we wuz kangz n shiet”. They’re coping for being descendants of nomadic desert perverts.
The United Monarchy of Israel and Solomon’s Temple are as legendary as King Arthur, the Knights of the Round Table, and Camelot. But no one is using Camelot to justify genocide.
Herodotus the father of history did an extensive survey of the eastern Mediterranean and doesn’t mention Jews or Jerusalem. The Jews as we know them are a Hellenistic creation, a gigantic historical retcon that worked.
Ironically Herodotus does mention Palestine centuries before the Romans. So there goes their “muh Judea” argument.
Why does the streamer never stream? It’s always loading
Because I’m not streaming yet.
Do you really think that low of me Mike… That I didn’t know the stream didn’t start till 7pm : ( Well you’re right, I didn’t look! Okay! I admit it! Anyways, even when you stream the same error occurs. Every time I watch a stream the loading is an issue.
It’s the same way for me…but only when I use my phone. On my laptop it streams just fine.
On android phones the video stream doesn’t work for some reason. But you should be able to stream the audio.
Mike looking like a character from Super Mario.
I love this AI art bit
Mike the Arab.
he’s gone full goblin mode
