In case you missed it …
Note: It has only gotten worse over the last 24 hours.
This was a truly strange video by Sam. I watched it, as well as Asmongold’s reaction to it which was funny.
There wasn’t much I could have added to his points, his attitude of absolute contempt for this oligarch class of tech people generally, or anything else.
I recommend folks watch it for themselves.
I thought Asmongold died two years ago?!
Sam Hyde going to bat for the feds to help reinforce the idea that Elon Musk is an actual real person who cares about any of this shit and not just an actor everyone should stop caring about. Sam Hyde of all people literally trying to make you believe politics are real, which does make sense since he is “cool internet character” guy. The reason he doesnt have a Chinese spy whore is because he’s working for the US govt already.
Wasn’t the “freedom of speech, but not freedom of reach” jingle originally coined by Greenbladder’s ADL? It looks like Musk has buried the hatchet with that crowd, or it was all just kayfabe in the first place.
Yes, I believe you’re right. IMO, for all practical purposes ADL is running X.
Now that MAGA media is getting back from their holiday time out there is beginning to be alot more discussion of this again (they wisely chose to let the tempers settle a bit). Below is Steven Crowders pretty thorough deconstruction of the whole issue. There wasn’t anything I disagreed with here. He didn’t spare Elon or Ramaswami, isn’t dissuaded by the racism claims by Elon, agreed generally (but only generally) about american culture embracing mediocrity to a degree, but points out rightly that there isn’t anything about India anybody should aspire to, and there’s a reason nobody wants to go there, but wants to come here… ubiquitous H1B fraud, abuse of the system in every way, and the widespread credential fraud by Indians. All good stuff.

Makes me wish that we’d had a podcast crew smart enough to keep their nose clean through the dark times so they could be present in this golden age of podcasts. Though, there are so many generally good ones that maybe its worked out for the best that the Alt Right podcasts all went dark.
This is what we got though, guys like Matt Walsh, Tim Pool, Crowder, Rogan, Shawn Ryan each in their own way and on their own subjects with others I didn’t expect like Bill O’Reilly, Chris Cuomo and Megyn Kelly coming over from Network TV to break into the space and doing a pretty good job also.
None of them are perfect, but their honest efforts are worth more than our absolute lack of effort at anything meaningful.
