Martyr Made Book Club starting after the New Year. Which book should we start with? Vote in the comments section on Substack (reply votes here don’t count): martyrmade.substack.com/p/martyr-made-… ImageImageImageImage
I will put out a weekly podcast in which I’ll read important passages from that week’s chapter(s), as well as more frequent written posts on the material covered.
If your book choice gets outvoted, don’t worry. I’m sure we’ll get to all of them eventually.
I’ll count the votes Wednesday, December 1.

This is why the corporate press rushes out misinformation. Same reason they pushed a flat-out lie about Officer Sicknick being killed by 1/6 protesters. They know that the lie will stick in the minds of some % of the population, and that’s why they do it.
They know that the initial emotional imprint is the thing that sticks w/people the most. They lied about Sicknick’s death to imprint extreme outrage, knowing that after they walk it back, the outrage will remain even if the facts that caused it dissipate. Propaganda 101.
When something like the Waukesha massacre occurs, they know there’s a risk people will get an emotional imprint harmful to the narrative. They rush out something, anything - they purposely pollute the information environment - knowing that later corrections will not matter.

Conservatives are eventually going to gave to grapple w/the fact that it’s not communists, but hyper-capitalists who are pushing and enabling our destructive cultural revolution.
Google & Blackrock are not communist. Bill Gates is not a communist. The celebrities wouldn’t know Marx if you brought him to breakfast. The foot soldiers of the revolution are people of relatively higher socioeconomic status who look w/undisguised contempt on those below them.
>what did capitalism mean by this?
Capitalism and communism BOTH reduce human beings to a labor commodity, to cogs in an economic machine whose value is measured in terms of work and consumption.

My favorite story from Black Elk Speaks is The Courting of High Horse. High Horse was a young Lakota man in love with a beautiful who was just out of his league.

THREAD
High Horse was so badly in love that he felt sick. The girl’s parents kept close watch over her, and he didn’t know if she liked him even a little bit. One day he ambushed her, and held her in place while he made his pitch. The girl didn’t reject him utterly. The game was on. /1
Feeling confident, High Horse approached the girl’s father and offered to buy her for two horses. The old man waved him off without a word. It was an insulting offer for his only daughter, but it was all High Horse had. /2

Recently went on a ‘90s movie binge and it truly was the golden age of film. Watched:
Braveheart
Legends of the Fall
13th Warrior
Jurassic Park
Ghost in the Darkness
T2
Rob Roy
Saving Private Ryan
Lord of the Rings started filming in the ‘90s, and is ‘90s in spirit.
The ‘90s were able to create unironic epic adventure in a way the current year usually can’t.
Also:
Heat
Gladiator (overrated, but still)
The Usual Suspects

Even campy holiday movies were great. Jingle All the Way is an almost perfectly constructed film.
Last of the MF’ing Mohicans

After my recent Rittenhouse podcast, some wrote to say they appreciated the focus on the black political situation in the US. For a much deeper dive on the issue, check out my 7-episode series, God’s Socialist: The Rise & Fall of Peoples’ Temple.
It tells the story of Jim Jones, who led over 900 members of his cult to commit mass suicide in the S. American jungle in 1978. What many people don’t know is that 75% of those who died were African Americans who considered themselves revolutionary communists, not cultists.
The trajectory of Jim Jones & his movement from racial justice activism to revolutionary action followed that of the Civil Rights & protest movements in general. It’s a story of idealism, hope, disappointment, rage, madness, and death.
