Show notes

The RW ghouls are at it again, using any opportunity they can to fan the flames of hate. Be it a mass shooting, a terrorist attack, a plane crash or a natural disaster like the tragic wildfires in LA - Vultures like Dave Rubin, Elon Musk, Douglas Murray, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Matt Walsh, Alex Jones and many more .... are out there trying to spread disinformation and ridiculously pinning the blame for the fires on 'Diversity'.

Join me as I run through some of the worst, most embarrassing takes from these hateful, RW freaks.

Ep 89 - ExMuslim Terror Attack in Magdeburg Dec 30, 2024

Show notes

I was joined by friend of the show Ilyas (@IlyasIbnKarim), a scholar of religion and a German Muslim himself, to discuss the recent attack on a Christmas Market in Magdeburg Germany. As a leftist Ex Muslim myself, who has been warning about the increased radicalization I’ve observed among movement ex muslims, I too had some thoughts about this senseless tragedy.

Ep 88 - Israeli Football Hooligans in Amsterdam Dec 12, 2024

Show notes

I spoke to independent Dutch photographer Daphne (@ikbendaf) who was on the ground where these riots took place. We spoke about how this incident was reported on, the disinformation surrounding it, and how the narrative was inverted to portray the racist soccer/football hooligans as victims of an antisemitic pogrom.

Ep 87 - America Votes for Fascism Nov 08, 2024

Show notes

Entering the arena of US ElectionTakes™ now that I’ve finally gotten over the initial shock. There are of course multiple lenses to look at the results through and many ways to interpret what went wrong. I’ve seen people suggest the main factors are racism/sexism… while others say the main issue was The Dems’ failure to speak to financial pain, currently felt across the nation. I say…why not both?

These things are often connected - throughout history we’ve seen fascism rise in times of economic woes.

Ep 86: Death Marches & Douglas Murray’s Racist Fantasies Oct 27, 2024

Show notes

Here’s an episode discussing some recent (incredibly bleak) current events, as well as a closer look at how things are being framed in western media to normalize/minimize the horrors of Israel’s actions. We zoom in on a particular Fox News segment, with one Douglas Murray, who is currently living out his most g3nocidal fantasties, hanging with the Israeli Diaper Forces.

Ep 85: One Year of G3nocide Oct 16, 2024

Show notes

In this episode, I reflect on the past year of unbelievable horror… the excuses and legitimizing we’ve seen from the media and our politicians, how deeply entrenched tropes of ‘civilized’ vs ‘barbarian’ are. I also take a closer look at Ta-Nehisi Coates’ recent interview on CBS morning as well as his interview with Jon Stewart.

Ep 84 (pt 2) - The Gaza Ghetto Uprising w/Rev & Reve Oct 08, 2024

Show notes

This is pt 2 of my conversation with Adi Callai, of the Rev & Reve Youtube channel. Adi grew up in Israel, researches counterinsurgency and military philosophy. He recently put out quite a radical, remarkable, well-researched video titled, ‘The Gaza Ghetto Uprising’.

In this part of the conversation we discuss topics that have largely been downplayed or ignored by western media, like the use of the Hannibal Directive on Oct 7, as well as the silence of many large leftist content creators, the weaponizing of #metoo and feminist discourse. We also talk about the blatantly eliminationist rhetoric on the ‘Two Nice Jewish Boys podcast’.

IDF ordered Hannibal Directive on Oct 7 https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-07-07/ty-article-magazine/.premium/idf-ordered-hannibal-directive-on-october-7-to-prevent-hamas-taking-soldiers-captive/00000190-89a2-d776-a3b1-fdbe45520000

Israeli forces accused of killing their own citizens under the 'Hannibal Directive' during October 7 chaos: “The doctrine, written in 1986 in response to the kidnapping of Israeli soldiers in Lebanon, gave permission for Israeli forces to fire on enemies holding their comrades hostage — even at risk to those hostages. Its authors said the directive did not allow captives to be killed, but critics say that over time an interpretation spread through the military that it was better to kill comrades than to allow their capture.” https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-07/israel-hannibal-directive-kidnap-hamas-gaza-hostages-idf/104224430
