The Alt-Reich is here and they are using their Silicon Valley billions to usher in their techno-fascist utopia where rich white men will rule the Earth before colonizing space.
Great show & topic 👍Bannon began his mal-information school & fascist propagadizing in EU & Italy until they ran him out. Then@ hid slithering from US prosecution on/ boat in S. Atlantic. He should've never been let out of prison
"Makers and takers is the mudsills, don't you know? The whole idea that some people don't belong, that some people are not contributing to society, the whole division of the world like that has, you know, certainly has run through American history. But, in your 1890's, of course, it was all over, and in the 1960's and 1970's, absolutely. You start to see the roots there, and you see it coming through since then. So that idea and I think in some ways you can look at the world, or at least the United States as being one in which there are some people who believe that they are better than others and they have a right, and maybe a duty to rule.
And, there's other people who believe that everybody should be treated equally before the law and have a right to a say in their government.
And those two things seem to me to be strands that run through American history, and sometimes one dominates, and sometimes the other dominates."
You see how Israel actively is involved in the creation of our surveillance state, right?? Call me anti semetic, idc. They’re playing both sides of our politics.
How do subscribers get to see you live? I get it after you record. And....great sense-making today, especially about the Yarvin, Thiel, Vance connection and their longevity plans. You missed reporting on the kids emerging from this technomania, some of whom have their own telescopes in kindergarten and who make drawings of outer space because it's conceptually familiar to them already!
Great discussion, scary AF, and we need to stand against the Alt Reich. If you haven't already, it would be great to have Carole Cadwalladr and Nafeez in a discussion with Waz. Carole is exposing this same thing happening in the UK.
I expected to be thoroughly depressed by this conversation due to the horrifying subject matter. Somehow, though, I feel energized and reassured by the intelligence and deep knowledge of Nafeez and Waj. Thank you for your exemplary work.
Waj, you are hitting it out of the park with your fabulous guests & discussions recently! (Nafiz Ahmed, Gil Duran, the medical policy person [sorry, forgot her name]). Very eye-opening, important discussions that need to be widely shared. So glad you're not putting them behind a paywall.
Always important info, thanks to both of you. Please read NY Review of Books, Sept. issue and read the life of of William Buckley, conservative (racist) role model from 1950's, with his journal and TV spot that elevated his racist ideas behind a smug and arrogant intellectualism. The article is Conservatism’s Baton Twirler by
Osita Nwanevu.
Very important because as opposed to what Nafeez has stated that this is not a bipartisan issue, that this is not good for Republicans as well, I beg to differ. The evidence shows that racism has been a part of Republican ideology, and Buckley stands at the forefront leading the charge.

I'll let them have space just leave us TFA.
These nutbags are just unbelievably insane WTF thank you both for the great reporting and insight...
Waj & Nafeez, thanks for connecting the dots for the global majority. Appreciated.
This interview was so excellent… terrifying, but excellent. Those guys y’all’s are discussing are WEIRDOS!!! Just fucking creepy little weirdos.

Makes me think of the movie "Elysium". Ughm
Nafeez Ahmed is on point here. So much information and clarity.
Excellent conversation as always on The Left Hook. Thanks, Waj!
I really need to check out his book:

This is our saving grace as incompetence is their strong point...
