sounds like shit and putin has alittle and someone should off that mother because
he deserves to alone. But inall seriousness, and that was serious.
This podcast contains difficult subject matter content. Warnings for this podcast always apply.

(00:24):
And now the intro music. Thisis another fucking guy with a podcast.
Another podcast shining light on right wingideology, propaganda, conspiracism, and its

(00:44):
profound destructive effect on the whole offucking humanity. In this podcast, there
are no excuses for being a walking, fucking scumbag. So yes, super
light content, very easy listening,So sit back, relax, and don't
be worried at Here's the episode.All right, I didn't even mention what

(01:29):

(02:13):
just off the top of the episode, I want to provide a bit of
a warning. This episode contains briefdepictions of torture and mutilation and mentions of
sexual violence and rape. If thosethings are not something you can stomach,
I suggest fast forwarding to approximately sevenminutes and sixteen seconds. All right,

(02:36):
So sorry about that extended hiatus.I'll spare you the excuses. But between
the last episode and now, theworld's most dangerous fucking people have accelerated their
race to the bottom to see whichof them can inflict the most unrelenting psychopathic
cruelty. Evidently, and speaking ofpsychopathy, Vladimir Putin and his increasingly shrinking

(03:00):
circle of cowardly yes men are stillchanneling their twentieth century fascist idols with their
ongoing imperialist war in Ukraine, which, as predicted, has become an increasingly
bare faced series of war crimes andbarbarism, as Putin has become increasingly desperate
to succeed at all costs at theoutset of this deranged, fucking blood bath.

(03:22):
Putin claimed that it would only lastweeks, but Putin's objective of turning
Ukraine once again into a corrupt extensionof Putin's oligarchy has now dragged on for
over eight grisly months and over eightyears. Since Russia first invaded the Crimean
Peninsula in twenty fourteen, Russia's crimesagainst humanity have grown more brazen as the

(03:43):
month's dragon. The sight of amass grave was discovered in an eastern Ukrainian
city after it was recaptured by Ukrainianforces some weeks ago. At least four
hundred and forty unmarked graves were discovered, with the body showing clear signs of
torture. There is a horrifying amountof firsthand and physical evidence of sexual assault
and rape being committed against Ukrainian peopleby Russian soldiers. Bodies of women have

(04:08):
been found dead and naked, andin at least one instance, branded with
a fucking swastika, which is justmore evidence that Putin's claim of quote unquote
Denozification was always a fucking lie.There are more literal Nazis in Putin's military
ranks than probably any other military onearth, barring perhaps the United States.

(04:29):
The idea that Putin is fighting fascismis laughable on its face. But the
rampant sexual violence inflicted at the handsof Russian soldiers is not just an unfortunate
aspect of the fog of war.It's being intentionally used as a weapon.
In April, following the withdrawal ofRussian forces from a suburb in Kiev,

(04:50):
it was discovered that two dozen womenand girls were systematically raped by Russian forces.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinkn bluntlyDe described what Russian forces are doing,
saying this as this Russian tide isreceding from parts of Ukraine. The

(05:12):
world is seeing the depth and destructionleft in its weight, and we're seeing,
in particular the horror that's been leftbehind in Butucha, something that is
touching people literally around the world.What we've seen in Butucha is not the

(05:33):
random act of a rogue unit.It's a deliberate campaign to kill, the
torture, to rape, to commitatrocities. The reports are more than credible.
The evidence is there for the worldto see. The use of sexual

(05:55):
violence is not the only weapon Russiais using to inflict psychological trump against the
people of Ukraine. Russia has beenintentionally bombing civilian areas, including parks,
schools, hospitals, restaurants, malls, businesses, churches, mosques, synagogues,
holocaust memorials, apartment buildings, people'sfucking homes, public utilities like dams

(06:17):
and strikes dangerously too close for comfortnear nuclear fucking power plants. Just recently,
Russia intentionally flew drones provided by theIranian government directly into buildings and public
sidewalks and streets in broad fucking daylight, while children were going to school and
people were going to work. Twomonths ago, the Guardian verified by geolocation

(06:41):
methods an image that appeared to showa human head impaled on a stick in
the city of Papasna. The humanremains were that of a Ukrainian prisoner of
war. Russian soldiers decapitated him andcut his hands off. According to a
prisoner recently released from the Alnivka detentioncenter outside Denets, Ukrainian POWs are tortured

(07:01):
and murdered we heard their cries onAverasheva told the Guardian quote, they played
loud music to cover the screams.Torture happened all the time, end quote.
The level of brutality at the handsof Russian soldiers has been nothing short
of psychopathic. Russia has been deliberatelytargeting civilians and public infrastructure, torturing people

(07:28):
and mutilating bodies to inflict psychological traumaon the Ukrainian people. It is a
part of the military strategy. Thepublic record regarding what Russia has done and
continues to do is clear, despitethe empty repudiations from Putin, his propagandists
and apologists, and the conspiracy pilledidiots across the fucking Internet who deny what

(07:50):
has been thoroughly documented, sourced,recorded, and placed in the public record
for the fucking world to see.A few weeks ago, a bridge that
connects the Crimean Peninsusa to mainland Russiawas bombed. It was a well orchestrated
blow with major symbolic and strategic consequences. The bridge had been a source of
enormous pride for Putin since it openedin twenty eighteen, and an important logistical

(08:13):
component to transport supplies to Russian troops. The attack also came the day after
Putin's seventieth birthday. Immediately though,Putin carried out what it called revenge by
laying down a barrage of missile attacksaimed at civilian targets across Ukraine, killing
scores of innocent people. Not onlywas it a grossly disproportionate response with the

(08:33):
sole objective of terrorizing the people ofUkraine, but it does not qualify as
revenge when someone is retaliating against youfor your homicidal, fucking derangement, Vlad.
But because of just how murky warmakes things and the fact that no
one really knows how the bridge wasbombed, it immediately became fertile ground for

(08:54):
conspiracists. A number of theories weremaking the rounds on social media as to
the cause of blast explosives under thebridge, a drone activated bomb coordinated by
Ukrainian security services, or perhaps evena suicide truck bomber. And the suicide
bomb theory is being leveraged by Putinand his acolytes to try and liken the
people of Ukraine with suicide bombers associatedwith jihadist terrorist groups like al Qaeda and

(09:18):
ISIS now. The purpose of thisis to evoke nationalist emotional responses in American
conservatives and other Western conservatives, toget them to align themselves with Putin.
Those on the right and in conspiracycircles seem to enjoy this theory too,
because it's the most evocative and providesthe whataboutism necessary to point their fingers in

(09:43):
the other direction just to be afucking contrarian about literally everything. It allows
them to say, see, look, look at what they're doing on the
other side. They're doing terrorisms too. Except this wasn't terrorism, even if
it was a suicide bombing, andI'm not ruling that out, but even
if it was and not a sanctionedmilitary operation, right, it was still

(10:05):
only in response to Putin illegally annexingCrimea, building a bridge to that illegally
occupied territory, and then using thatbridge to transport tanks and military supplies to
attack Ukraine and its people. Russiais the terrorist state, not Ukraine,
suicide bombing or not. But tobe perfectly honest, I don't give a

(10:26):
fuck why or how the bridge wasbombed. It cut off logistical support for
Russian forces who are committing atrocities acrossUkraine. If it is the case that
it was a Ukrainian suicide bombing,I'd blow up your bridge on your birthday
too, if you were killing myfriends, my family, destroying my home
and trying to erase my culture andmy fucking history. If someone's being fucking

(10:48):
genocided, I don't care how theyblow up your bridge on your fucking birthday.
But despite Russia's criminal, scorched earthwar tactics, Ukraine remains very much
in the fight thanks to the undyingresolve of the Ukrainian people and their allies.
Last month, President Biden urged Putinto not use tactical, nuclear or

(11:09):
chemical weapons in the wake of Russiansetbacks in Ukraine, but speaking to reporters
later, Putin vowed to continue hisattacks on Ukraine despite Kiv's latest counter offensive.
On the twenty first of September,Putin said in a press conference,
quote, we will annex Ukrainian territorieswith bombs and referenda. If you try
to take them back, we reservethe right to nuke you. End quote.

(11:33):
He sounds like a cornered rat becausehe is won. Putin's promise of
success in a mere matter of daysor weeks, has veered wildly off course.
And now he's just screaming into amicrophone like Alex Jones after spending all
day in a courtroom, knowing hefucked up and will inevitably be held responsible
for his fucking bullshit. Fuck Putinand Alex Jones and everyone who's enabled either

(11:56):
of those seething, mad, fuckingpsychopaths. But what if Putin hits the
button? But what if we lethim do what he's doing to Ukraine?
You think it just stops there?It doesn't. What if he hits the
button? What if he just takeseverything that he wants to take? What
if we just let Hitler do whateverhe wanted? You can't. We can't.

(12:20):
So that's not an option on thetable. Fuck off, Elon Musk.
I do want to touch on onemore thing that I found alarming and
ties into the conspiracist aspect of thewar. If you believe that military aid
for Ukraine coming from the US andNATO countries are being sold on the black
market for whatever incoherent reason, thenyou are a rube who has a hard

(12:43):
time discerning fact from fiction. Thosewho vehemently identify as Free thinkers were the
first to fall for this blatantly falsepropaganda coming out of Moscow. Russia.
State TV was claiming in June thatUkrainians were selling US donated weapons on the
dark webb. Well investigative journalists foundone of those marketplaces and found ample evidence

(13:05):
that those posts are fake. Investigatorsfound many images of weapons were photoshopped,
time stamped well before the war,or weren't even NATO weapons at all.
Pictures of drones attached to one postmatched serial numbers of drones shot down in
Syria in twenty fifteen and sixteen.The investigators also consulted a linguist after seeing

(13:26):
one too many grammatical and spelling errorsamong correspondences with one of these black market
sellers. The expert found substantial evidencethat the messages written in Ukraine were translated
from Russian with the help of anonline translator like Google Translate, so not
exactly a sophisticated operation. One allegedseller left both Russian words and Russian letters

(13:50):
in some messages. Cybercrime threat intelligencecompany k Ela investigated the marketplace and found
that the timing and similarity of claimsmade by Russian state media outlets alone suggests
that it's an organized disinformation campaign andis concerned that the same marketplace could be
used by Russian propagandists to produce otherfalse stories. Serhi Kharchenko hope, I'm

(14:13):
saying that correctly. A fact checkerfrom Stop Fake Specializing and Tackling Russian Propaganda
said this quote. Now, Russianshave been creating stories accusing Ukraine of selling
weapons, but who knows later theymight use the same marketplace to spread fakes
about so called sales of other goodsand services. If they have created this
marketplace, why not use it?All they want is to sow the seeds

(14:35):
of doubt and denigrate Ukrainians. Endquote. So I'll link to the full
investigation in the show notes because thedetails are interesting. But here's my thing.
Why in the fuck would Ukrainians beselling donated weapons and supplies on the
internet if they need them to wardoff a hostile invading force trying to install

(14:56):
a puppet regime loyal to Putin andsubject Ukrainians to brutal ath oraitarianism. Well,
they wouldn't. They're using the suppliesto protect themselves, their loved ones,
and their homes, their country.The conspiracy theory should fall flat on
its face if you just take twofucking seconds to think about it. The
wildest part about all of this isthat we shouldn't have even needed such a

(15:18):
thorough investigation into this, but apparentlywe did, because the planet is full
of mouth breathers. And that's thething about propaganda and disinformation campaigns. They
don't have to be good to work. Why would you spend more time and
money to make them more believable andharder to debunk if they're already achieving their

(15:39):
intended goals. Tens of millions ofpeople believe blatant disinformation over seasoned investigative journalists
because they've already been groomed to disbelievecertain media outright, no matter the quality
of either the disinformation or the journalism. Another reason Russia is pushing the debunked
Ukrainians are selling NATO supplies on theinternet bullshit is to scare mostly white Western

(16:03):
conservatives by invoking irrational fears that theyknow will work on them. They've already
been conditioned by over three decades ofthe War on Terror to be irrationally afraid
of weapons falling into the hands ofjihadists. Right wing media has had them
on a steady diet of war propagandafor decades, including the severe exaggeration of
the level of supplies seized by theTaliban after the American withdrawal from Afghanistan.

(16:29):
Weapons and supplies falling into the handsof Muslims and people of color is something
that keeps reactionaries up at night.Apparently, the same way that conservatives have
long been autherising and dehumanizing those ofIslamic faith, Putin is trying to otherise
and dehumanize Ukrainians by using familiar warmongeringtactics. It's another way in which Putin

(16:52):
tries to align himself with like mindedreactionaries in the West, hoping to scare
the US and NATO countries and devotingfor politicians that are friendly to Putin's Russia
and call off military support to Ukraine. Election day for the twenty twenty two
mid terms in the United States ison November eighth. That's a Tuesday.
Now zooming out a bit. Theglobal far right, accompanied and amplified by

(17:18):
Putin and his army of propagandists,are pushing an ahistorical version of the state
of the world, mainly that theUnited states and the world's liberal democracies are
immoral, corrupt, and failing,which is true, but not for the
reasons laid out by the right.Right wing figures have long claimed that the
weakening of societies is caused by socalled cultural and moral decline that they like

(17:44):
to call degeneracy, which has beenallowed to fester by leftist overlords, or
some shit, which should be clearon its face is overtly anti Semitic and
reminiscent of Nazi propaganda of the nineteenthirties and forties. Versions of this fake
worldview are used by right wing figuresacross the world in their political messaging,

(18:04):
and is used to deflect blame fromthe innate failures in corrupting nature of capitalism
and redirect blame for those problems towardsmarginalized minority groups and underclasses. The modern
political environment is based on weaponizing misunderstandingsand advantageous illusions, promulgated through disinformation campaigns

(18:26):
and outright lies. To conservatives,the primary source of all the world's problems
is woke socialists. These woke people, they're fucking everywhere. The universities pump
them out by the tens and hundredsof thousands year after a year in the
US and across the Western world,they protest buildings named after racists and tear

(18:48):
down statues erected in racists memory andhonor. When they're not being indoctrinated with
CRT and gender theory from their elitistprofessors and pledging their allegiance to transhumanism and
millions into atheism and Satanism, literallyselling their souls to the devil, of
course, they're out silencing public speakersand figures who challenge them. Culturally,

(19:10):
these woke robots have all the powerand all the control. They use cancel
culture to threaten every straight white manfrom speaking their mind freely. Movies,
television shows, even the commercials infootball games are so woke that it's painful
to watch anymore. They can't eventurn on their TV without liberal indoctrination being
shoved down their throats. Hell,you can't even watch a new TV show

(19:33):
or movie without seeing an actor ofcolor or a same sex, transgender,
mixed raced family putting tide pods intheir fucking washing machine. The left is
so adamant about power and control infact, that otherwise moderate conservatives and Republicans
are considering becoming fascists to save themselvesand their children from this left wing hellscape.

(19:57):
It's forcing them to even vote forauthoritarians to put things right, to
make America great again. Here's rightwing personality Jesse Kelly on Tucker Carlson saying
that Republicans will embrace fascism because ofa frustration with Democrats back in March of
twenty twenty one. Jesse, thanksso much for coming on. How would

(20:19):
you How do you think it wouldwork if you lied in a federal gun
form. I think I wouldn't beon your show right now unless they were
allowing me to do it from FortLevenworth somewhere. We both know how this
works, Tucker. It's just itemnumber one thousand in proving to people that
there are two different sets of rulesin this country. There are rules for
powerful Democrats and there are rules forpeople like you and I. This is

(20:42):
what they do when people are sickof it. It's making people feel hopeless.
It feels like there is no justiceout there. It feels as useless
as going to a feminist rally andtrying to find a woman who can cook.
I think you make a really solidpoint about the sadness and powerlessness that
people feel in the face of this, And at some point people are going

(21:03):
to say, why should I followthe rules? Why should I be a
good citizen if they don't have tofollow the rules. I mean, things
kind of break down at some point, don't they. They will break down,
and they are breaking down, Tucker. I've said this before, and
I'm telling you, I'm worried thatI'm right. The right is going to
pick a fascist within ten to twentyyears because they're not going to be the
only ones on the ounce. There'ssixty seventy million of us. We're not

(21:25):
a tiny minority. And if we'regoing to be all treated like criminals and
all subject to every single law whileAntifa Black Lives Matter guys go free and
Hunter Biden goes free, then theRight's going to take drastic measures. And
it's not about Hunter Biden and hisdrug use. Nobody cares that guy was
bumping booger sugar Linds off European hookerson the weekend. It's about justice that
he's never held accountable before. Noneof the Bidens are, but you would

(21:48):
be, Tucker, And so whatI that's so well put. And you're
absolutely right. We're moving toward actualextremism because they're undermining the system that kept
extremism. And I don't think wecan say that enough. I'm so glad
that you just said it. Yep, there's Jesse Kelly saying that the right
will vote for a fascist within thenext twenty years. I hate to break
it to him, but they alreadydid that. But yeah, someone worse

(22:12):
than that orange faced fuck. Yeah, and he said it on a news
program, if you can call itthat. Tucker Carlson Tonight is the most
watched cable news program out of allof them, reaching millions of people.
This is not good, nor isanything else that Tucker Carlson promulgates on his
fucking show every goddamn night. It'sthe quiet part out loud. And Yeah,

(22:37):
if you're confused as to how HunterBiden or his father are far left
Marxists, well you're not alone.Neither one of them are socialists. But
that would defeat the lie that they'reperpetuating, wouldn't it that the Democratic Party
is under full control of far leftsocialists. The woke people, even some
Democrats will readily tell you that thereason why the Democrats keep losing elections to

(23:00):
ostensibly easily beatable far right fucking lunaticsis because of the party's destructive relationship quote
unquote with the left. Politicians likePresident Joe Biden have long said that the
only way to save the Democratic Partyand to win would be to weed out
the leftists and keep the party moretoward the center, to give up on
all the radical left wing fucking shitthat normy white folks refuse to understand or

(23:26):
accept, like inequality and transgender peopleor so you know, so that they
can convince more independent voters and evensome Republicans to come vote for them.
This kind of rhetoric is the liberalpoint of view perpetually echoed by Democratic politicians
like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer,and even Joe Biden, and it's published
in The New York Times, theWashington Post and spouted on ostensibly left wing

(23:48):
airwaves like CNN and MSNBC. Infact, this point of view that the
left is bad and bad for theirbrand runs so rampant among the Democratic establishment
that it's fucking everywhere. It isthe mainstream democratic left wing viewpoint that the
far left is bad, even equallyas bad as the far right. The

(24:11):
Democratic establishment fucking hates leftists. Theybelieve that they are too radical. That's
why further left democrats like Bernie Sandersand Alexandria Casio Cortez aren't pictured very often
with the likes of establishment democrats likePelosi and Biden, because they're hardly ever
working together on anything they don't agree. So if that's the case, and

(24:33):
it is, then how exactly doesthe left have all the power? Well,
they don't. The left is aterm for people looking to fundamentally change
the political system, whether through redistributionof wealth or through attempts to address systemic
inequalities. This includes socialists, democraticsocialists, and many more like minded individuals

(24:56):
and organizations. So by this definition, and according to how things actually are
in the United States, these peoplehave no power or any actual influence in
American politics or largely Western politics asa whole. In fact, this isn't
an accident either, it's by design. The left has long been defeated through

(25:18):
centuries of struggle in decades of deliberateaction. So soon have we forgotten what
the Cold War brought the left?As According to modern American conservatives, Western
conservatives doesn't exist. The left consistsof a sporadic group of people who are
further left than the democratic establishment,but isn't actually workable as an organized coalition
that has any power or influence becauseit's been crushed repeatedly throughout history by the

(25:45):
right and so called moderates Democrats whoare now using the few vocal leftists' ideas
and actions to scaremonger about what couldbe if we don't take steps to once
again silence them with the fucking booton their nets. The left has long
been marginalized and neutralized, deliberately brokenup to prevent political organization. It has

(26:07):
no legitimate political power in the USnor the rest of the Western world.
The only real conspiracy theory at playhere is these centuries and decades long conspiracy,
the real one to silence and crushleftists who might challenge the status quo
through elections, propaganda, the machineryof the two party American political system,

(26:30):
and brutal and violent crushing of leftistdescent across the world. Literally, as
Jared Yates Sexton wrote in his Substackarticle on the subject, quote, this
is the story of one of themost consequential misunderstandings in American politics. It
is the story of the myth ofthe left, and it's a story we

(26:52):
must learn if we are ever toescape this death spiral in worsening crisis.
End quote. I'll link to thefull article in the show notes. It's
paywalled, but it's brilliant. Itgoes through all the history of this.
It tells you why and how theleft doesn't exist as a major political power

(27:12):
practically anywhere in the world. Hestarts off saying, and we begin with
a car bomb in Washington, dc. In nineteen seventy six and a
political assassination that would be largely lostto history. So yeah, it's a
It's definitely worth the read. Checkit out if you can. The point,
though, is that the right andestablishment democrats are most worried about the

(27:37):
fact that hundreds of millions of peopleare finally acknowledging and understanding that things must
radically change, and that leftist solutionsare finally being learned one and two taken
seriously, but as an organized politicalmovement, again, the left remains far
too fractured for real political power.The left, as according to the modern

(28:03):
right, is a whole cloth myth, But the boogeyman of the left that
the right uses to maintain power isalive and well. Vladimir Putin's view,
circling back a little bit. Hisview, of course, is that the
West America is dying due to leftistsand liberalism, and that Russia, under

(28:26):
inherently right wing, anti democratic authoritarianism, is somehow thriving despite the fact that
Russia is actually doing far worse thanthe US and its allies. A motivating
factor in propagating this blatantly incorrect versionof reality, though, is that it
allows Putin to blame the problems thatexist in Russia cause from his own repressive

(28:47):
governing on evil liberals and leftists inand outside of Russia. But this distortion
of reality hinges on two core principlesfrom the authoritarian playbook. One, pigate
an endless salvo of baseless lies andconspiracy theories to make people question reality,
and two scapegoat marginalized people in groups, blaming them for any real or perceived

(29:11):
societal problems. And the latter isseen most explicitly as of late with the
acceleration of vile age oled anti gayfear mongering, and the broader demonization of
queer people as a whole. VladimirPutin, aided by his self described spiritual
advisor, hard right imperialist ideologue AlexanderDugan, instrumental in bringing the idea of

(29:33):
Western decline quote unquote to the forefrontof Kremlin propaganda, also use this right
wing notion of degeneracy, cultural corruption, and moral rot as they say,
as a political weapon to deflect fromthe real causes of social and economic issues
in Russia. To Putin and hisfascist, fucking witch doctor, as well

(29:59):
as the rest of the wor world'sbumbling fascists, blame for social decline and
economic tribulations across the world ought tobe laid at the feet of the so
called degenerate left, which is basicallyjust anyone who insists that queer people should
be treated like people. Of course, the degenerates also include those who believe
that things like capitalism, imperialism,paternalism, nativism, traditionalism, and hierarchies

(30:26):
in general ought to be challenged andcritiqued because the people trying to make the
world a better place are the badguys, you see. In accordance with
this worldview, the fact that liberaldemocracies tend to afford more freedoms to citizens,
to challenge ingrained inequities and bigotries,and to challenge official narratives and systems.
Russia's bloody military campaign to steal EasternEuropean territory from the godless liberals is

(30:52):
only meant to restore balance and orderto the world by building an expansionist Russian
empire led by a depraved lunatic.After all, isn't it these Western democracies
that have in recent decades at leastallowed same sex couples to marry. Haven't
they those liberal democracies been the onesgiving transgender people rights. Aren't those liberal

(31:15):
democracies the countries that have allowed secularismto infiltrate their institutions to replace God in
tradition with science and reason. Ofcourse, the US and its NATO allies
want Ukraine to be controlled by acenter left liberal like the former movie actor
currently leading the defense against Russia's nobleimperialism, because they want Ukraine to be

(31:37):
weak and degenerate right, while Putin, on the other hand, merely wants
it to be strong and violently antileft while under the full control of Moscow.
Of course, is that too muchto ask fucking yes, Actually it
is fuck that last month this worldviewrooted in hatred and lies and all its

(32:01):
associated violence that Putin's fascist friend AlexanderDugan has helped propagate for fucking decades finally
caught up with him when his daughterwas killed by a car bomb on the
outskirts of Moscow. And are wesupposed to feel bad for Dugan and his
daughter, who he groomed into afascist Daria Dugina, in addition to advocating

(32:27):
for war against Ukraine, advocated forand supported the Armenian genocide. Nationalists in
the quote unquote anti imperialist left arebehaving as though it's some kind of profound
loss. I'm not fucking joyous aboutit, but I certainly haven't lost sleep
over it, nor am I atall surprised that Dugan's daughter was assassinated with

(32:51):
a car bomb that was most certainlyalso intended for that motherfucker. How many
more, untold thousands of Ukrainian men, women, and children have to be
brutally maimed and murdered in the nameof Dugan's demented bullshit that Putin uses to
justify it before there was retaliation likethis. It was a matter of time,
Just like that fucking bridge. Duginahad it coming, and so does

(33:14):
her fucking father and his employer.As I mentioned, Daria Dugina's death was
not an instance of simple collateral damage. She had followed in her father's footsteps
in propagandizing ultra nationalist imperialist ambitions forthe Russian state as a prominent right wing
media figure in Russia, echoing herfather. She was a grown adult who

(33:36):
played a role in the ongoing genocideagainst the people of Ukraine. So I'll
shed the same number of tears forDugan and his daughter as I will when
Henry Kissinger finally fucking dies, whichwill be never. Apparently, I'm definitely
throwing a party on that day.Jesus Christ. If there's anyone who fucking
lives longer on the blood of children, it's probably Henry. How the fuck

(34:01):
is he alive? But quickly onDugan. As Alexander Reid Ross noted on
Twitter, the assassination of his daughterwas presumably also meant for him, but
ended up only killing Dugina. Healso noted correctly that Dugan's influence on Putin
and Russia as a whole isn't exactlyresputant level puppetry, but that he does

(34:24):
have significant influence and is well connectedin Russian power circles. And I'll link
to that full Twitter thread, butI want to note a few things in
it that I find important to understandingwho this fucking guy is. Ross noted
that Dugan became a KGB informant againsthis subversive quasi Nazi circle during the late
Soviet period and then joined the ultranationalistcontrolled opposition, but he was kicked out

(34:47):
and then cozied up with the NewRight. As Ross lays out, Dugan
has been close to and involved withmany of Russia's most ultranationalist and hard right
figures in groups, even heading upsome of those movements and groups himself.
The man is a fucking menace whohas powered around with some of the most
fucking froth mouthed, seething neo fasciststhat have ever existed in Russia, being

(35:13):
one himself. But to the surpriseof no one, the Russian government immediately
began using du Guina's death to ginup more nationalist fervor, calling for revenge
and retaliation, which, again,no, that's not how any of this
works. Ukraine is retaliating against you, that's what's happening. You're not retaliating

(35:34):
that you started it. But yeah, they're doing the same shit that they
did with the fucking bridge. Theglobal far right, including its Western counterparts,
have been uncritically echoing and subscribing tothis Duganis worldview, perhaps most notably
with Tucker Carlson's implicit and explicit defenseof Putin and his actions in Ukraine,
echoing Kremlin propaganda biolabs in Ukraine?What why? Yeah, well this has

(36:01):
been fact checked a fucking thousand times, but false claim of US biolabs in
Ukraine tied to Russian disinformation campaign.Yeah, just fucking google it. It's
all over the internet, Tucker,fucking piece of shit. The United States
has been engaged in a program worldwideknown as the Defense Threat Reduction Agency,

(36:22):
which cooperates on reducing disease risk inUkraine and elsewhere. So it's not fucking
secret, it's not clandestine. It'sout in the fucking open. Everyone knows
this. It's a thing for askingit. We were immediately denounced by so
called reporters as disloyal agents of VladimirPutin The accused US of repeating discredited Russian
disinformation about the existence of bioweapons inUkraine. Yeah, well, there aren't

(36:46):
any bioweapons in Ukraine. There neverwere, there aren't now because the labs
are used to study diseases, notmake bioweapons. It's a biological laboratory.
Just because it's a biolab doesn't meanthat there's fucking bio weapons in it.
But that's not as you know,juicy as story. Is it that apparently

(37:07):
a private equity firm run by HunterBiden funded some of the research into pathogens
in these biolabs. What are theYeah, the odds are none, because
it's not true. A QAnon supporternamed at war Clandestine created the story,
and then the Russian government promoted it. I wonder why you're not a Russian

(37:30):
agent repeating discredited Putin talking points ifyou ask, as Juliet Jessky posted in
a video that she uploaded to Twitter, I don't know if you're a Russian
agent or not, but that isRussian disinformation. She's right, it is.
And Tucker Carlson is a fucking pieceof shit. He knows what he's
doing. This fucking biolab bullshit hasbeen thoroughly debunked. Many months have gone

(37:53):
by now and nothing has surfaced tosubstantiate any of those claims. In fact,
the only any further information we've seenis that the conspiracy theories that Tucker
and others have helped promulgate all camedirectly from known Russian actors or unreliable sources
like some fucking meatball who fucking namedhis account on whatever the fuck war Clandestine.

(38:16):
But no, Tucker isn't the onlyexample of Putin apologism in the United
States and across the Western world.Clinical psychologists turned far right culture war grifter
Jordan fucking Peterson is also among thiscrop of right wing figures in the West
helping cast Vladimir Putin as some kindof hero the Duganus worldview, specifically,

(38:37):
in Peterson's case, endorsing wholesale thefucking far right Nazi degenerate left conspiracy theory,
recently promoting it in one of hisweirdest fuck videos that he puts out
and are we degenerate in a profoundlythreatening manner? I think the answer to

(38:57):
that may well be yes. Theidea that we are ensconced in a culture
war. How serious is that war? Is it serious enough to increase the
probability that Russia, say, willbe motivated to invade and potentially incapacitate Ukraine
merely to keep the pathological West outof that country, which is a key

(39:20):
part of the historically Russian sphere ofinfluence. Yeah, this is fucking verbatim
what Vladimir Putin says when he's askedwhy he's invaded Ukraine to protect itself from
the evil degenerate liberals over in Europeand the United States. This so called
degeneracy virus or contagion that they thinkexists and is plaguing Western democracies is not

(39:45):
just caused by the gays, yousee, it's literally anything remotely construed as
left wing, which collectively they referto as cultural Marxism, which again is
anything at any given moment that theright doesn't like or are sure is responsible
for all the moral and cultural destructionthat they claim is happening. So,

(40:06):
to be clear, cultural Marxism doesn'tactually mean anything, nor does degeneracy as
described by these froth mouthed bigots.All of these scary catch all buzzwords for
anything reactionists don't understand and hate.Much like the rights employment of the ever
more meaningless term woke up yours wokemoralists and related terms like critical race theory

(40:32):
and gender theory also mean fucking nothing. They can't even define those things,
So whatever the fuck they're describing usingthose terms, yeah, it's not what
they say it is. These arejust, you know, new versions of
all the disjointed anti left jargon utilizedby fascists of the twentieth century to justify

(40:52):
their atrocities against humanity and centralization ofpower. In simple terms, they scream,
our way of life is under threatby godless left wing degenerates, so
we must subjugate and exterminate them.It always starts with seemingly innocent questions that
they oh soo innocently ask about thelegitimacy of something or someone. Then comes

(41:15):
the coordinated disinformation campaigns against them througha deluge of exaggerations, lies in wild
fucking conspiracy theories thrown at the walluntil something sticks. The goal is to
demonize and dehumanize, and when thathappens, then comes the delusion of violence
and intimidation, which is always thefinal goal. It's a story that's oft

(41:37):
repeated itself throughout history. It's amethod straight out of the authoritarian playbook,
and it's not just being employed byPutin and his enablers, but all the
world's fascists. What's most concerning,though, to me at least, is
how much the propaganda seems to work. Not to overstate its success, but

(41:58):
influential right wing figures like Jordan Peterson, who's become one of the most influential
figures on the right today, promulgatesthe same incoherent bullshit that the Kremlin does,
echoing perhaps the most unhinged, homicidalleader of the twenty first century,
Vladimir fucking Putin. Peterson said alot of things in that video and others,

(42:20):
but the echoing of Putin and hisspiritual advisor's conspiracy theories, specifically the
twisted degeneracy conspiracy theory, is atthe very least cause for alarm and at
most a very serious threat to hundredsof millions of fucking people across the fucking
world. Peterson has found another pseudointellectual scam in pushing the backwards Russia under

(42:42):
Putin will bring restorative balance to theworld. Bullshit which to any rational mind
is some seriously contrived bullshit, requiringa complete suspension of reality to actually believe.
All indications suggest Putin's actions have weakenedand damaged not only himself but his
people in Russia itself as a worldpower, while strengthening his adversaries in the

(43:07):
West. So not only is hejust wrong about everything, but he's also
fucking stupid. But then again,all fascists are stupid, so unsurprising Putin
and those who promote and subscribe tohis fucked up ambitions and dark vision for
the fucking world hold the same fascisticstances as far right individuals in the West.

(43:29):
All of these people are racist,homophobic, transphobic, fucking bigots.
Since Russia first invaded Ukraine nearly adecade ago under false pretenses, Kremlin propaganda
echoed by fasci right wing figures inthe West through the well documented Russia state
media to Western right wing media pipeline. The notion that the US and liberal
democracies are weak and failing decadent whilePutin's corrupt and homicidal authoritarian oligarchy is strong

(43:54):
and winning is irrefutably fucking false.How many times I can say that,
but it's just not true. Butit's not that those outside of Russia are
necessarily falling for Russian propaganda, thoughcertainly a very real and concerning phenomenon.
But Putin and his allies simply holdthe same core values as the rest of

(44:16):
the world's fascists. It's the sameintolerant, paranoid, racist, homophobic,
transphobic, power hungry, anti human, fascistic bigotry seen in all the world's
right wing individuals and groups, includingpeople like Jordan Peterson and Tucker Carlson.
Because fascists of the world run together, they're birds of a fucking feather.

(44:38):
It was neither Putin nor anyone alivetoday who first invented prejudice and craving of
power. These are human traits,partly to blame on our biological and evolutionary
makeup, but are deliberately taken advantageof by the world's brutish lunatics. So
much like Russia did not create thepre existing conditions of reactionary bigotry in the

(45:00):
US that made Donald Trump president intwenty sixteen, Russia did not create the
degeneracy myth either, nor the inextricablylinked anti LGBTQ plus fearmongering that's been on
the upswing lately. Let me saytoo that it's not the left who's always
talking about trans rights, by theway. In fact, most of the

(45:22):
mainstream left in the US is reluctantto even engage on that fucking issue,
or sees defending the rights of transpeople as politically unviable and not a winning
strategy and thus not worth talking aboutat all, even while the right,
who sees an advantage in demagoguing onthis issue is getting them killed with their
barrage of repressive anti human laws andviolent hatred against them, still not worth

(45:47):
it to many Democrats. It's theright who won't stop talking about it because
they're the ones using them as politicalprops, not the fucking left. But
I digress, But I do wantto wrap all this up into a little
package. So one common link betweenthe various forms of bigotry is what philosopher

(46:10):
umberto echo in his essay on YourFascism, phrased as quote an obsession with
a plot, which has taken manyforms over human history. Perhaps the most
infamous example of this was the Nazisparanoid obsession with the cunning and scheming international
Jews. Another phantom boogeyman conjured upby the Nazis to instill fear in the

(46:30):
populace was something that they called culturalBolshevism, perhaps more widely recognized today as
cultural Marxism or its contemporary postmodern neoMarxism, which many influential right wing figures
have weaponized in recent years. Forexample, the utilization of the supposed threat
of postmodernism and cultural Marxism is largelyresponsible for Jordan Peterson's rise to prominence among

(46:55):
the right. It should be alarmingto see influential figures promoting a slight variation
of exactly what the fucking Nazis did. Additionally, the so called gay agenda,
or more recently the trans agenda withtheir gender theory, is an example
of such weaponization of arrogant and irrationalfear targeting LGBTQ plus individuals, consisting of

(47:20):
a colorful variety of incoherent batshit togin up fear against fellow human beings,
often involving the long debunked idea ofpeople somehow choosing to be gay, trans,
or what have you, as ifit's a choice, as if that's
how it works, or even somethingto ever even slightly be concerned about at
all. Expanding on this long heldbelief brought to the public consciousness by Christian

(47:45):
fundamentalists, more contemporary right wing figureshave propagandized the equally ridiculous notion of people
becoming gay not of their own choice, but of whatever external factors. One
infamous example of this is conspiracy theoristAlex jones viral and baseless claims that chemicals
put in the public water supplies areturning the friggin frogs gay. I don't

(48:08):
like a button. Chemicals in thewater they turn the friging frog gay.
Do you understand that crap? It'snot funny. I'm gonna say, real
you frog, So yeah, it'sbecome an internet phenomenon. It's it's become

(48:30):
a meme. It's not good.The idea behind it is dangerous as shit.
That song, though, is reallyfucking funny. But all of the
people who listen to Info Wars AlexJones his show, who believe him when
he fucking speaks words out of hisfucking mouth, think that they're gonna become
gay if they drink tap water.So it's not it's not great, and

(48:54):
no that's not a thing. It'snot possible to make some gay or trans,
or straight or cisgender for that matter, or anything else. Another popular
version of this same irrational fucking fearis that soy, yes, the fucking
bean, makes men infertile and effeminate, often seen online with members of the

(49:17):
far right hurling the pejorative term soyboyat those that they hate or disagree with
scrolling through Instagram. Just the otherday, I saw a reference to this
soy conspiracy theory in a non threateningvideo listing things that supposedly cause impotency in
males. Yeah, the right falselyclaims that ingesting soybeans can affect male hormone

(49:39):
production to the point that it makespeople gay or trans, And to be
perfectly clear, no, it fuckingcan't. There is literally nothing in scientific
literature that suggests this has ever happenedto anyone. Other examples of the various
forms of bigotry include the ongoing Satanicand it's many recurring fear inducing conspiracy theories,

(50:02):
the white supremacist great Replacement conspiracy theoryand its associated irrational fear of a
non existent white genocide. This issomething Tucker Carlson has been promulgating to mainstream
conservatives via his show on Fox News. This was him just literally the other
night. So it's such as whites, it's white women. They're women are
bad too. The women, ofcourse, are the key to reproducing the

(50:27):
white race, which is clearly athreat. As she says again and again
to you and your family, they'redangerous. They want to hurt you.
Now, don't be fooled by thefact that Tiffany Cross can barely speak a
coherent sentence. She was a communicationsmajor. Apparently, according to the Internet,
that didn't work. This is thegreat replacement conspiracy theory. It is

(50:49):
a white supremacist conspiracy theory, explicitlyneo Nazi and white supremacist. He talks
about white women as reproducers of thewhite nation and attacks a black woman's intelligence
while doing so. This is themost watched cable news show in America.
This is centuries old propaganda and racistfear mongering. It just is blatantly with

(51:13):
an audience that newspapers have never imaginedhaving. It's incredibly dangerous. He is
accusing black people and leftists of incitinga race war. Talk to any white
supremacist, a fucking clan member toa fucking Nazi, and they'll tell you
the same thing. Tucker is repeatingtheir talking points verbatim for specific purpose to

(51:36):
accelerate tensions politically in this country tothe point of war. They admit this
constantly. That's what they want.They do want a civil war. Who
talks about that the most the rightAnd like I said, they'll admit it
outright. Well, that is,if they're being forthcoming and not trying to
obscure the truth. The women,of course are the key to reproducing the

(51:59):
white race, which is clearly athreat. As she says again and again
to you and your family, they'redangerous, they want to hurt you.
That's not at all what Tiffany wassaying. Tucker is the one lying to
you, as he always is.The words directly from Tucker's mouth and Tucker's
mind were that women, of courseare the key to reproducing the white race,

(52:20):
which is clearly a threat. That, my friends, is Nazi shit.
But some other various forms of bigotryis the irrational fear that feminism is
corrupting society, the paranoid and evidencefree fear that trans people in androgyny are
somehow causing the literal collapse of society, and many many more. Really,
the number of absurd moral panics usedby the right now and throughout history is

(52:45):
not possible to calculate. Their endlessstream of scare mongering lies crop up faster
than anyone seems able to get infront of encounter. But they're gitting up
of fear is always just a slightvariation of a previous reactionary panic. They're
never unique, though each renewed paniccomes with enough slight variation to provide at

(53:05):
least a thin veneer of plausible deniabilityfor those propagating them. Untrained eyes don't
usually see them, which is themost concerning thing about this shit to me.
At least. One of the underpinningsof Hitler's Nazism was something he called,
wait for it, degeneration theory andits counterpart, biological devolution theory.

(53:30):
These theories are some of the moredisturbing examples of the obsession with the plot
type narratives, and they stand outfor their level of influence on both the
historic and contemporary cultural imagination. Accordingto degeneration and biological devolution theory, and
I'm using the word theory liberally here. But according to these theories, society
is a kind of living organism,capable of sickness, decay, and even

(53:52):
death, and the logical conclusion suggeststhat degenerate elements must be discovered and rooted
out, like curing a disease.In failing that those elements must be amputated
like an infected limb. In otherwords, the logical conclusion of this disturbing

(54:13):
theory was and is to save society, degenerates must be removed from it killed.
This was the Nazi's final solution towardsthe end of World War Two.
Social critic and Zionist leader Max Nordouor Nordau I don't know later suggested in

(54:37):
his influential book titled Degeneration that degenerationwas caused by a neuropathy and not to
be medically diagnosable in individuals taking thedisease analogy literally. This may sound familiar,
and it should. The right's persistentclaim that LGBTQ plus individi jewels can

(55:00):
or should be cured, changed,or made normal is a constant in anti
lgbt plus propaganda across the world throughouthistory. Nordau's book included a list of
supposed degenerates, because lists of peopleare always that always ends up going well.
That included his contemporary and famously queeresthete and author Oscar Wilde, who

(55:24):
was imprisoned and exiled for the crimeof gross indecency, that is, for
simply being homosexual. Jews were,of course the primary group among the degenerates
according to Nazi ideology, but homosexuality, which the Nazis did not distinguish from
other forms of sexual and gender variance, was another form of degeneration, and

(55:47):
naturally, homophobia and sexism also makesthe list of Eurofascist tendencies listed in Echo's
essay. Homosexuals were, like Jewsand other non Aryans views ud as detrimental
to the procreation expansion and eugenic strengtheningof the Nazis contrived master race, the

(56:07):
Aryan race, and were thought toconstitute a weak and cancerous element within society
that ought to be eliminated and purgedto supposedly purify and strengthen it. Transsexuality
or its more accurate contemporary transgender persons, not distinguished from homosexuality by the Nazis,

(56:28):
was taking its first steps out ofcomplete erasure during the relatively progressive YMR
Republic of nineteen twenties Germany. Unlikethe conventional wisdom in much of the world
at the time, which was totry and cure lgbt plus people of their
degenerate ailments, doctors at an institutewell ahead of its time, generally sought
to help trans patients alleviate their distressby helping them live authentically to their own

(56:52):
gender identity, providing them with genderaffirming health care. In fact, the
world's first recorded genital reassignment surgery wasperformed at the institute through Sexual Wizenshaft the
Institute of Sexology in Berlin in nineteenthirty and yes, I am fully aware
that I butchered the German pronunciation ofthat institute. My apologies to German people,

(57:16):
but yes, this institute. However, in February of nineteen thirty three,
one month after the Nazi Party's consolidationof power, was burned to the
ground during the Nazis purge of homosexuality, which again included the whole of the
LGBTQ plus community, and on Maysixth, the institute was ransacked with its

(57:37):
library of twenty thousand books publicly destroyedand burned in the streets by Nazi affiliated
youth groups. It was a devastatingblow to the life's work of Magnus Hirschfeld,
the institute's founder. Hirschfeld, whowas Jewish and gay, was a
pioneer for rights and liberation in Berlin'sthriving LGBTQ plus community. Founded the institute

(58:00):
in nineteen nineteen after beginning his careeras an activist in eighteen ninety six with
his pamphlet Sapho and Socrates, abouta gay man who took his own life
after he felt he was being coercedinto a straight marriage. The Nazis destruction
of the institute's library destroyed all ofits medical records, containing detailed notes about

(58:22):
the nuances of the complicated procedures,alongside untold volumes of thoughts, stories,
and studies on LGBTQ plus people.The Nazi harassment of Hirschfeld and the violent
destruction of his institute, as wellas the violence perpetrated on LGBTQ plus Germans,
is hauntingly evocative of modern day threatsand violence on LGBTQ plus healthcare providers,

(58:46):
advocacy groups and organizations, and hatecrimes against members of the community and
their allies. It serves as aterrible reminder of just how rapidly social progress
and human rights can be taken anderased, and how the scapegoating and demonization
of LGBTQ plus people has long beenused by fascists as a weapon to instill

(59:07):
fear, separate people into subgroups,and pit people against one another, dividing
and conquering. An article on mediumauthored by somebody who has since apparently gone
anonymous, which I assume is becauseof anti trans hatred that she has experienced

(59:30):
on the fucking Internet, on degeneracyand Fascism, that was written in twenty
eighteen. She writes, quote,Although the details vary, they all tell
a similar story. Society is incultural, social, and or biological decay,
and the decay is caused by thesecret and subversive influence of alien infiltrators

(59:54):
or deceptive forces within society end quote. This perfectly sums up the right's cruel,
unending culture war and subsequent delusion ofmoral panic and scare mongering. There's
always someone or some group to blamefor whatever their latest contrived bullshit is always

(01:00:15):
deliberately vague, loosely defined and obscuredin layers of exaggeration lies, in conspiracy
theories. It's always the same prototypicalnarratives used to justify and insight bigotry and
subjugation. And it's always rooted inrace, gender, sexuality, and religious
and political ideology. And it's nodifferent today than at any other time in

(01:00:37):
human history. But yes, critically, one of the first shows of force
when the Nazis seized control was againstthe German LGBTQ plus community. The Third
Reich targeted lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and gender nonconforming people who
were sent to death camps alongside Jews, the disabled, and others deemed degenerate,

(01:01:00):
undesirable, and in true fascist fashion, the initial attack was on information.
The Nazis started creating and propagating loadsof anti LGBTQ plus propaganda, coordinated
disinformation campaigns that demonized and dehumanized them, designed to gain public support for the
atrocities that were soon perpetrated against them. So circling back a bit, Vladimir

(01:01:24):
Putin's regime completely in line with thisvery same fascist bullshit, uses demonstrable lies
in demonizing propaganda to oppress the LGBTQplus community and gain public support for his
repressive laws that target queer people.Putin himself openly called recognizing trans people as

(01:01:45):
humans a crime against humanity. Justlast year, Human Rights Watch noted in
twenty eighteen, quote LGBTQ youth inRussia faced formidable barriers to enjoying their fundamental
rights to dignity, health, education, information, and association. They wrote
that in Russia, quote, hostilitytowards homosexuality and sexual and gender variance is

(01:02:09):
not new. LGBT people in Russiahave long faced threats, harassment, demonization,
abuse inside their families, and statesponsored discrimination, but the twenty thirteen
gay Propaganda Law has since increased hostilityand violence towards them. The law has

(01:02:30):
also had a stifling effect on accessto affirming education and mental and physical health
support services, with harmful consequences forLGBT youth. As the article explained,
quote, Russia's gay propaganda law isa classic example of political homophobia. It
targets vulnerable sexual and gender minorities forpolitical gain. When Russian President Vladimir Putin

(01:02:53):
signed the federal law in June oftwenty thirteen, he pandered to a conservative
domestic support base and on the internationalstage. The law helped position Russia as
a champion of so called traditional values. The legislation, formerly titled the Law
quote Protecting Children from Information promoting thedenial of traditional family values in bans the

(01:03:16):
quote promotion of non traditional sexual relationsto minors, a reference universally understood to
mean a ban on providing children accessto information about LGBT people's lives. The
ban includes, but is not limitedto information provided via the press, television,
radio, and the internet. Yeahfrom the article quote. The law

(01:03:44):
has been used to shut down websitesthat provide valuable information and services to teenagers
across Russia, and to bar LGBTsupport groups from working with youth, but
the law's effects have been much broader. Individual mental health professionals have curtailed what
they say and what support they giveto students, and the law gives the

(01:04:04):
strong inprimature of the Russian state tothe false and discriminatory view that LGBT people
are a threat to tradition and thefamily. The article continues significantly. Mental
health providers we spoke with said thelaw interferes with their ability to offer honest,
scientifically accurate and open counseling. Services, leading some to self censor themselves

(01:04:28):
or set out explicit disclaimers at thestart of sessions to avoid running a foul
of the law. End quote.Vladimir Putin is a fucking menace. He's
a fascist and it's more than tellingon themselves when anyone chooses to align themselves
with that fascist fuck. And that'swhere I'm going to leave part one of

(01:04:53):
this episode. Part two will beout shortly. I promise to finish it
up as quickly as I can.Point being is that there is a global
concerted movement that has a common goalof creating as much fucking cruelty and misery
that they possibly can against tens andhundreds of millions of people across the fucking

(01:05:16):
earth. Part two will be focusingon the United States and it's fucking declined
the far right misery as well.In the meantime, be as degenerate as
you possibly fucking can fuck them.See you next time. All right.
