35:20 isn’t this what the accelerationists want?

Christ, the comment section is infested with incels.

The material is pretty dense but I really enjoyed this discussion, thanks!

Hell of a show! You guys snatched "everything is ideology" toy from boy Zizek gave it back to the bytch who bites but sound right.

You brought up Kayfabe and I thought oh here it is he will finally bring up this is all simulated and none of it is good faith, the two parties are playing a part and have 0 interest in actually addressing the material needs but you went another route, there is a uniparty in the US and politics is completely kayfabe, Trump is the anomaly representing a new neoreactionary rival to the uniparty. He was the only one playing to win, the democrats dont believe he is a threat to democracy (he is to the illusion of democracy we are allowed) they just see him as another one of their esteemed donors. The left has a large blind spot for the rich colluding against us, you think every thing is systemic/ideology but they do in fact have dark rooms. Henry Kissinger was on The Trilateral Commission, The Council of Foreign Relations and Bilderberg(all established as explicitly anticommunist orgs) all unelected bodies of elites making the off the books agenda. Mika Brzezinski dad Zbigniew Brzezinski founded the Tri Com with Rockefeller, thats not strange at all, Some good books "The Power Elite" "Trilateralism: The Trilateral Commission and Elite Planning for World Management", we have two factions of a single party that work at the behest of the world economy that only argue in the margins about how to best manage the productive forces of the nation, they gave us an unplugged controller called politics.

I’m surprised Pills didn’t draw parallels to Žižek at 38:00. All I can think about is the Adjuster being a perfect representation of the return of the repressed and the Real exploding forth. The Real doesn't care about your tech bro incoherent ideology. It’s going to explode through the gaps in your ideology. How can that trauma ever be anything but violence? The inescapable logic of the system is shattered by the radical indeterminacy of the Real. Contradictions laid bare, and the symbolic starts to shift. New desires start to form as we understand our lack. (This is a theoretical discussion of the deeper philosophical meaning behind current events. I really don’t need the feds at my door. I do not condone violence in any form.)

By the way, a podcast for Ted would be very bery interesting.

10 minutes in and you guys are spitting nothing but facts. Great stuff

was really looking forward to you guys discussing this topic then I heard that Diego’s unbearably annoying voice… wish it could just have been the episode without him.

worth the relisten <3

Good ep

5:00 i have not listen the whole episode yet, but i hope you introduce all the critics by Ranciere. To my mind the critics by Ranciere on Althusser and the concept of ideology is the most interesting stuff on the topic of Althusser.

its reuploaded?

I made the first comment and IDK WTF this is even about yet.

I have to disagree with you guys on here. This episode feels cynical. This is the story of a guy who has experienced in the flesh the failure of the corrupt corporate health system in the country. He is someone who has the courage of taking action, even if that's outside the confines of what we consider "moral" or whatever made sense within his worldview. He is not pretending to be Che Guevara. It's like in "intellectual" environments we need to have a flawless theoretical framework and debate hundreds of people instead of taking any action while millions of people keep dying every day. Some people don't have that luxury and some people didn't have the opportunity of learning the entire history of western leftists thinkers.

on politics and leftist terrosism you can read the novel "nada" by jean patrick manchette, great one

Surprised yall didn't even mention how he was radicalized by his own personal back injury I feel like this is the most directly materialist read you can give for the whole killing; he wasn't doing this just because he felt some idealistic duty against corruption, he did it because of real, physical debilitating pain that this guy and other guys like him had indirectly facilitated. I think this is why overall the personal politics or background or individual beliefs or whatever don't necessarily match up; because the material realities of his own physical body trumped all of that.

you guys seem really disconnected from the reality in the USA, fr. Free Luigi.

I'm no fan boy but I thought Pills was sharp this episode.

Why the unilateral hate for humanism?

I hate to do it but contrapoint’s endlessly critique power is probably true. This is what the first salvos of class revolt in the 21st century are gonna look like, messy and contradictory. You can lament they’ve not read Bakunin or you can go with the flow.

Pair this with most recent True Anon episode same topic.

LM's ideologically incoherent statement comes off as Tier-1(ie: Normie)Techno-Capitalist, radically Centrist, Effective Altruism by way of Ted K & all fed through ChatGBT. I agree with the fellow who said it's "different ideologies battling it out with each other". Someone on a different podcast made the observation "him citing Michael Moore is like if Brevik cited Bill Maher". This remark was intended to show just how"Normie" his perspective really is, as far as we know. Having said that, I pity the guy, which is infinitely more feeling that I'll ever have for the likes of Thompson. I hope something other than some pseudo-political "altering the discourse" BS comes out of this. I really do. "Evidently, I am the only one to face it with such brutal honesty" is the high point. He nailed that ending. The opening lines about "the Feds " and how much he respects the thin blue line - this is sus. It reads coerced, or at least can be read as kinda coerced.

I'm just so glad to hear Diego's voice here ❤ love u babe

Babe, new analytical framework just dropped. We're saying "is this serving ideology?" now

On if a totem can be an idea or not; I think it doesn't need to be, but nonetheless, people like to concretize the immaterial, so something can be a totem as an idea, but people will try and make a symbol.

When it comes to Luigi's efficacy, there's also something to be said of the tribal bonding of a shared scapegoat in the herd.

Mangione actually translates to "glutton", according to Google. Which is apt, because he was gluttonous of class-traitorism

Not this histrionic Diego guy again

The healthcare sistem in the México Is a total piece of shit, clearly Diego dont know about the topic.

UnitedHealth Group is #17 by market cap in the US, but #4 by revenue in 2024 (I'd say the latter is more substantial).

I don't think he's short - quite the opposite. Look at the photos where he's taken away by the police.

I would refer to this national disease of toxic, hyper-individualism us Americans all have as just Lockean metaphysics - rather than liberal metaphysics. Too many of us use liberal as a slur now, otherwise liberal metaphysics would still be good. 😂

No, I don't think at all that he doesn't want a different world. He seems smart enough to see that this is but a token action to stir the pot. I don't think you even believe what's said in that section either - what gives?

Don't know the guy's name, but whichever one isn't Pills, Diego, or Eric has some goofy ass takes on this ep

Love that Diego is a cohost at this point

I’m currently fighting with United to get a medication that was already approved. But living in the States, most people aren’t like “yes this was the most awesome thing to ever happen!”, but ultimately what Luigi the Adjuster symbolizes and his motivations are widely supported.

Great title

Good vid 👍

Good one 👍

Pills, what was the reason or reasons you stopped creating art?

49:22 The thing about langue as the "rules" of chess is that we allow those sideways moves all the time and over time they get captured by langue and normalized

Good one

Good vid👍

I used to talk to Nikki Hegelian on discord and I can say with certainty she only originally joined t to try and infiltrate them and eventually became indoctrinated

Good one

Good one 👍

these opening comments remind me of Nick Cave apologising for his song Stagger Lee recently, and having to admit that Stagger has "issues"..

viva armesilla! Unus non sufficit orbis

Heidegger was at his core a German patriot, so of course he supported the NSDAP, and after seeing what the allies did to cities like Dresden, and now he’s supposed to give an honest a fuck what happened to some polish Jews? lol
