Fascinating discussion (Part 1)

A black lawyer suggests she has empathy for the “white supremacists” that Talia Levin profiles. Floats constructive ways to engage with them.



Talia Levin freaks out over her “sympathy for the devil” & wants antifa violence against them.
"What are you even advocating for!?"

Talia Levin cannot emotionally handle the idea of engaging with the Americans she profiled, & lashes out at the host.
"If I had known this was going to be an extended conversation about the utility of deradicalization vs. antifascism, I absolutely would not have agreed to be on this podcast"

Takes a literal deep breath bc she's so horrified by the idea of "intimacy" over pure violence.
Talia Levin describes "Nazi chat rooms" like dungeons where she was ravaged.

After the host explains her view, Levin says "I am just curious why you would ask a militant antifascist about the utility of deradicalization. This sounds like a setup for frustration for both of us"
Levin claims her goal was to "make people aware of the perniciousness of the threat... to encourage people to become active antifascists. Militant antifascists. It is explicitly a book endorsing action of all kinds"

She claims the right is trying to kill them & their families.

In May, DHS leader Mayorkas claimed the border situation "was very challenging... very difficult" & touted immigration reform.

However, Texas was able to prevent immigrant crossings with just $11 million of razor wire, until the DHS began to cut down.

What's the challenge?

Corporations have built incredibly powerful AI tools but they won’t release them to the public because they’re afraid people will use them in racist ways
ChatGPT became a sensation by releasing its language model to the public, but they’re backtracking due to elite pearl clutching about how the peasants will use this technology.
A similar process happened with Google search and YouTube, which had better algorithms a decade ago. They were intentionally ruined because they led to “populism”

Using Consumer Price Index to track inflation is PsyOp.

The government prints trillions of dollars and hands it to oligarchs.

This may not raise consumer prices, but it devastates society.
Consumer Price Index is the “cattle feed index”.

You can eat junk food and buy toys.

Meanwhile, the prices of homes, education, and kids skyrocket.
Imagine if we printed trillions of dollars and gave it to one guy.

Consumer prices would remain roughly the same, but this one guy could buy up society & own everything.

This is the basic principle the US economy runs on.

The most interesting stories of all time are the stories of explorers — Marco Polo, Vasco da Gama, Pizarro, Cortes, Captain Cook — it doesn’t get any better than this.
Also Magellan. If you haven’t read a book on each one of these men, you’re missing out.
When Marco Polo visits the Orient, he’s treated well but has to submit to the Khan’s dominion. Returns to crusader cities like Acre.

By the time Vasco da Gama travels, he’s isolated & met with constant hostility. Has to brutally subjugate leaders with ship cannons & raids.
