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.

Max Blumenthal on Washington DC ruling class.

Their “personality is suggestible, submissive, has advanced degrees but is actually extremely uneducated. Washington DC — this entire area — we call it the DMV”
Gives example of Thomas Friedman, who married an heiress, hides in his multiple DC mansions while he writes about how the world works, & gets laughed at by normal people.

“These people culturally are not accountable to any real people. They’re in their own little Elysium bubble”
On Thomas Friedman’s “conversations with taxi drivers”

“That’s the joke about him, because it perfectly encapsulates the parachute mentality of these people. The only real people they meet are those who give them rides”

Wow very thought provoking content coming from the “Intellectual Dark Web”.
It’s like that annoying utilitarian trolley diagram in undergrad philosophy class, but even more inane & ignoring how these events were both pretexts for the ruling class to consolidate power & push insane policies that we would never otherwise accept. Image
Reading old authors, one can’t help but be blown away by their insight.

This total mediocrity giving “trolley argument but even dumber” should not be a leading pundit.

The ruling class gets high off restructuring society in insane ways that hurt you.

They impose taboos that it make it impossible for you to criticize what they’re doing.

When the taboos break down, they resort to vulgar “biomedical” security measures.
They’re constantly “testing the waters” to see what they can get away with.

Every time they get away with some transgression, they up the ante.

It’s pure risk-taking Machiavellianism. There is no morality or common affinity to appeal to.
Many of these people are financial speculators who reached their position by taking massive risks & beating the market.

Vulture capitalists who gutted companies to accumulate unprecedented wealth.

They’re making leveraged bets on actions that increase their wealth & power.

Underrated tactic: the next GOP candidate should fully align himself with the pro-cryptocurrency lobby.

The crypto community feels very alienated by Gensler’s SEC. They’re well-capitalized, competent, & have mass support, especially among young.

Many are “single issue” voters.
I’ve been watching crypto YouTubers. All of these people are freedom-loving and populist, opposed to IMF & central banking cartel.

They make arguments that supporting crypto will keep talent in the US, supporting our dominant global position.

You want these people on your side.
They’re freedom-loving but not unrealistically libertarian. Most welcome some kind of nationalist regulatory framework.

They’re not getting it at all from Gensler’s SEC, and they’re pissed off.

They have tons of money & talent, and crypto tech is exploding.

“Open Society” = controlled by billionaires
A bridge too far
The ruling class had no problem with China until they focused on:

+making billionaires contribute to society
+expanding the middle class
+expanding the social safety net
