Can’t remember if I’ve shared this convo with #KillerMike and #ThaddeusRussell, but if not: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3K2h9VgWr1C5u0sKup60Iw

If you haven’t picked up this book on #American #history by #ThaddeusRussell, you should.
It explains a lot of how we got here, this deep, in this timeline, and presents models for how we have always advanced, whether we like to admit it or not.
No sleep ‘til Brooklyn.
No sleep for the heretics.
No sleep for the renegades.

I just finished a book by #ThaddeusRussell on #American #history and he has hosted #CurtisYarvin more than once on his podcast.

Finished “A Renegade #History of the United States” by #ThaddeusRussell.
A fascinating and revealing read.
Highly recommend.

This is basically the thesis of #ThaddeusRussell in his book and podcast.

I have never followed / consumed anything from Grayzone, but I listened to one podcast convo with #ThaddeusRussell and he didn’t… smell fashy.Can you say more? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unregistered-with-thaddeus-russell/id1227060738?i=1000644019032

“In 1876, the demoralized Republicans agreed to withdraw federal troops from the south in exchange, giving the presidency to Republican Rutherford B. Hayes, in an election that had gone to Congress because of a dispute over which party had won the most electoral votes.”
- #ThaddeusRussellWhat concession will the batshit crazy MAGA movement get from the federal government to resolve the dispute in 2024?

#ThaddeusRussell in A Renegade History of the United States:
“The lesson that the government secures our rights only if we abide by democracy's demand to sacrifice and restrain ourselves had been broadcast to…citizens since the Revolution.
“All citizens and potential citizens were told that the more they worked and the less they lived for themselves, the more they were entitled to protection.”

I co-sign #Godfrey’s thesis here in convo with #ShannonSharpe.
Black #American #culture is the most subversively obvious on the planet.
I have a feeling #ThaddeusRussell would agree.

I’m reading #ThaddeusRussell’s book about renegades of #American history.
I thought I knew the backstory of minstrels, but it’s wild.
Highly recommend the book.

“Benjamin Rush argued for the abolition of both slavery and masturbation.”
- #ThaddeusRussellThis book has some amazing one-liners and I don’t think he’s trying especially hard to be funny.
-
“Sexuality in revolutionary America was gloriously shameless.”

Starting to dig into “Renegade #History of the United States” by #ThaddeusRussell

In another convo, #ThaddeusRussell identified the #woke movement pejoratively, but accurately, as something co-opted by white progressives.
In another episode with #KillerMike his appreciation for militant left-libertarian principles is clear.
I think that the #woke #culture of the #WideAwakes is embodied by the biggest rapper in the #postmodern #culture, #history, and #power.
I think it’s Beyoncé singing #CountryMusic.

If y’all get a chance sometime, please check out this convo.
I’m super-interested in your take.

Great conversation between #ThaddeusRussell and #KillerMike about black vs puritan culture and the justification for armed resistance.

Six policy wonks with very strong views, six opinionated journalists rallying from their respective platforms against the #US “arming #Ukraine and fuelling a neocon proxy #war”.
The host, #ThaddeusRussell, asks the most relevant question: “It’s absolutely essential that we clarify our position here, otherwise we are sitting ducks for what they say about us. Otherwise, it becomes true that we are #Putin stooges. […] This is essential, I need to know from you guys, as fan of yours: where do you actually stand on this?”
Genius 1: “I favour the cessation or mitigation of warfare rather than the perpetuation of it”.
Host: “OK. So does that mean a negotiated settlement, giving #Russia Donbas and Crimea, and nothing else?”
Genius 1: “I only really have a principle which is to cease the warfare rather than perpetuate it”.
Genius 2: “I think there should be negotiations. I’m not a diplomat, so I don’t see a point in me putting a solution on the table.”
Genius 3: “As much as I weep for the the predicament of the people in Ukraine, ultimately my greater concern is for all of humanity and for World War III”.
…And that’s why I can’t take seriously most of the naive anti-war rhetoric :P

Weird how the people who think most people are NPCs make an exception for themselves. And when they talk about it with others, those people aren't NPCs either. More like dogs than capable of complex thought necessary for democracy etc, they say. How convenient if you want to boost your own ego and dismiss their concerns. #MichaelMalice #ThaddeusRussell

Enough with the idiotic pseudo-arguments pointing to #ElectionFraud in the #US!
Latest: #ThaddeusRussell on his #Unregistered #podcast (again).Imagine insisting on the likelihood that somebody raped someone by repeating that “the motive! By God he had a strong motive. The guy really, really likes sex. We know that for sure. And we know that there have been rapes before. And the system is not perfect! A rape is so easy to commit! C'mon, I'm just saying there was motive, there were ample opportunities, and the means were there!”

I love listening to lunatics and contrarians. There's a lot of value in learning about unsuspected points of view. That's why I like #Unregistered #podcast so much.
Too often however, #ThaddeusRussell is just letting idiotic ideas stand unchallenged.
Case in point, the latest episode with #MenciusMoldbug:
https://www.thaddeusrussell.com/podcast/146
MM: [Blatant overgeneralisation]
TR: “Wow!”
MM: [Reckless call to subvert everything]
TR: “Oooh…”
MM: [Caricature of opposite PoV]
TR: “Nice!”
MM: [Faulty logic]
TR: “You make my mind stretch!”

I'm hearing so many attacks on #democracy and so many calls from people I would respect otherwise to have “less democracy”… All those (#ThaddeusRussell, #GarettJones, #MenciusMoldbug…) seem to be confusing “smaller State” with “less democracy”.
When we #ClassicLiberals criticise the tyranny of the majority, what we are saying is that no State or institutional power should intrude so deeply into personal matters — not that we would prefer those intrusions to be orchestrated by dictators, oligarchs or technocrats instead of democratic institutions (imperfect and fallible as they may be)! We want less #coercion overall (ie, less #State) — not to move the extant coercive power from democracy to #autarchy.
Please reflect about that distinction if you find yourself dissatisfied with the status quo and flirting with the ideas of #NRx, #DarkEnlightenment, autarchy, #monarchy, etc. -
