39:30 I like Michael's definition of a red pill leftist, but he missed one aspect with regards to Jimmy Dore... Jimmy is a bit unique in that he is one of the more purely red-pilled leftists I've ever heard speak, especially now. He's always hated the corporate media, he quickly came to hate the Democratic party on the whole with the exception of Bernie, and nowadays he hates Bernie too. It's been very interesting to watch him slowly push away everything and everyone who represents establishment. The reason I like Jimmy, aside from what I just described, is that I think he's a really important voice on the correct side of the current movement. Sure, I disagree with much of what he thinks economically and on a policy level, but I don't think it can be understated just how crucial it is to have a true red-pilled individual who happens to base his ideology in a more leftist worldview. The only structural issue I see with what we can call the red pill movement is the fact that it is so heavily populated by people to the right which, to the average person, makes the movement all too easy to put in the Republican box, or the Trump box, or any number of the generalized right-wing subsets that individuals on the left have created to delegitimize people who don't think the way they do. Sadly, because of this, the existentially paramount aspects of the red pill belief system are easily disregarded. With that, I think Jimmy is a very potent ally. There aren't many people out there who agree with the leftist masses, albeit incorrectly, that we should have universal health care, universal basic income, etc, but also go off on a tirade about how horrible Obama, Hillary, and Nancy pelosi are...

[@jiveturkey9993]

In my opinion Jimmy doors redpill moment was when he spit on Alex Jones. Jimmy's a good soul and he really felt like a douchebag when he did it. I think that made him take a step back and reflect on things.

[@syzyphyz]

1:56:56 Good question and immaculate answer. "The ideology of the system is a result of its structure... Conway's Law says that the structure of any software system is a function (and reflection) of the *structure* of the organization that built it. [In Darwinian terms,] what Lefitsm selects for is _power without responsibility,_ [which is] is the very definition of Oligarchy. The problem is not changing the minds of a huge number of people, the problem is that the _structure_ is wrong. If the structure is right, people will just change their minds. People do it all the time." So, so true. Anyone who has joined a well-organised church structure (and the Utahns as Curtis mentioned in this stream is the perfect example) will know how it can change your behaviour, mostly for the good. There's a price, of course, nothing is free, but the structure is more organised and the collective more productive and harmonious.

[@reilysmith5187]

This bit was one of the things that stood out to me the most in this interview. The idea that we don't actually need to change the minds of the people, but instead that they'll fall in line with the system. But then I wonder how do we change the structure, or at least how could I contribute? No matter how much I read, I still don't feel different from a pleb.

The military was just the quickest way to get there, which is the fairest way to handle such things.

[@gardnert1]

@@abrahemsamander3967 It's a nice idea that any public servant should be able to vote. The reality is that that aspect of the government will be dominated by leeches who will vote for more bureaucracy in order to increase their value and power. That's what has happened in every form of government. You risk nothing by being a paper-pusher or mailman or whatever kind of public servant. Only soldiers, police, and firefighters risk their lives during the course of their service, and as such their devotion to the country is proven. Their service offers up far more than they can get in return. So it's silly to equate such a service with that of a mere bureaucrat.

Michael Anton said he gave up on it until Moldbug who is a friend of his told him to persevere. I had the same experience. You're not just going to buy into everything BAP has to say but BAP says a few super-important things in his pidgin English in an uncompromising way - deep truths about human nature ( just having listened to The Iliad and The Odyssey, and quite a bit of Plutarch's parallel lives of the Greeks and Romans, I realize BAP speaks to men of today as if he were speaking to men of THOSE days, of those ancient days when what men did needed doing - you do it to them or they're going to do it to you).

Curtis' laughter reminds me Rothbard's.

[@ashypharaoh8407]

Reminds me of Sam Hyde

[@historygenius]

Reminds me of Oswald of Carim

[@HessianISR]

Can't fault Curtis for grifting after he got outed as Moldbug. I'll check his stuff out

[@tombsandtemples]

How tf did I not know this existed?? Good job youtube hiding this from me. Impressive.

Hairy plotter 3: Noldus Dobby meets professor Snape

[@stob000]

This conversation was much better than the recent one with Kantbot, pbuh

[@Marcoz588]

What’s the Yiddish pejorative that Moldbug used (at the pet where he called it Jewish equivalent of Ebonics)? I know I might be a bit of a schmuck, but I’ve never heard of it before.. 🤔

[@newwavex8665]

Why aren't their more videos of Yarvin

[@purplehaze1274]

Who is the person he is referring to at 7:56?

[@Jivansings]

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

1:02:53 (RE: the discourse around anti-Jewish crime in Germany) Curtis: "They poisoned the f'ing well." Michael: "Ironically." *sly grin*

[@renzotoglia]

I couldn't get past six minutes. I felt like a peeping tom watching you guys

[@fretpound]

I don’t know anything. May i still listen?

[@Jivansings]

The Central Committee will meet to discuss your commentary here, and the Party will decide and you will be informed of the official Party decision, with train station and train times. Sincerely, Bill, Mark, Jack

I really enjoy Mr Yavin, but I am frustrated by the use of acronyms, I still haven't been able to figure out what a PUA(in reference to red pill being co-opted.) The other thing is the use of Umm, someone else pointed this out, my mom still yells at me when I say Umm.

[@123gamejunkie]

PUA means pick up artist. What he means is that the manosphere, where different man talk about the modern problems men have in dating use the red pill to describe a way of conducting yourself as a man to be more masculine etc. People like Rollo TomassI use red pill in their own dating stuff separate from politics.

Question: You might have noticed that CHAZ CRAC is very closely modeled after Dzierzinsky's Troika's (introduced on November 22, 1917 in Russia). What is your take on it? Whence such similarity?

[@marialiyubman]

Me: this guy is so controversial Me after listening: buys all books discussed.
