Half of this episode was behind the paywall but in honor of Curtis Yarvin, Mencius Moldbug himself, calling for the end of Democracy in The New York Times (at least he didn't bring up his "human alternative to genocide") we're making this ep free for everybody. Also it was before we were recording video so please enjoy this visual of a waveform.
This episode was recorded on 07/30/24.
00:00:00 - Kate Willet's on the show to tell us about technofascism
01:18:42 - This is where the stuff that was paywalled before starts
Comedian and podcaster Kate Willett joins Jamie Peck and Sam Beard for a wide-ranging discussion of the San Francisco tech milieu that anointed JD Vance as Donald Trump's VP pick. Unlike the old school robber barons, the tech capitalists of today want more than money; they want to be gods. Via labor arbitrage, political meddling, and even seemingly innocuous ideas like "smart cities," figures like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, David Sacks, and Bilaji Srinivasan seek to immiserate the average person, dismantle the government and bring about an anarcho-capitalist dystopia ruled by neo-feudal warlords. But hey, at least they're never going to beat the couch fucking charges.

DESCRIPTION: Jamie is joined by Jake Flores (@feraljokes) of Pod Damn America (@poddamnamerica) to discuss Mike Davis’ 1998 essay “The Case For Letting Malibu Burn,” which is also the third chapter in his book “Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster” (Verso, 1998). In this controversial-at-the-time essay, Davis maps the fire ecology of the Malibu coast and explains why ongoing overdevelopment of this area is the height of capitalist folly.
Catch Jamie, Jake, Fellatia G and more at Super Solidarity Smash Bros, a fundraiser for activist legal fees at the Robinson Space in Los Angeles on January 25th at 7pm!

Jamie is joined by Tony Boswell (@wordisbond) of Minion Death Cult (@miniondeathcult) to discuss the wildfires that are currently burning through Los Angeles. In classic MDC fashion, they do a deep dive on conspiracy theories emanating from MAGA Twitter, like: did you know the fires are being caused by immigrants, the homeless, and woke?

Jamie is joined by her friend Maxelle Talena of the Dysphoria podcast to talk about writer/director Jacques Audiard’s new film, Emilia Pérez. With elements of a cartel drama, a soap opera/telanovela, Mrs Doubtfire, Evita, a lib take on gender dysphoria, and what we imagine Hamilton is like, this Mexico-set musical is the cringiest thing dreamed up by a Frenchman in quite some time, and it just keeps winning awards. Where’s the woke mob when you need it?

It's been a crazy week in Party Girls land. Jamie and Sam have been kicking ass and taking names in their roles as official spokespeople for the December 4th Legal Committee, which has raised over $175,000 for Luigi Mangione's legal defense to date. The PG crew gives some updates on Luigi (the terrorism and first degree murder charges, his Christlike perp walk into NYC, Eric Adams), then breaks down Jamie's viral throwdown with Chris Cuomo on his NewsNation show.

Luigi Mangione has taken the nation by storm! In the wake of his arrest for the killing of United Healthcare CEO/public enemy #1 Brian Thompson, Jamie and Sam dive into this newly minted American folk hero’s story. From his tony upbringing in Towson, MD and Ivy League education, to the chronic lower back pain that may have radicalized him, to the jumble of political views he expressed online, to his imminent prison wedding to Jamie, the crew examines how he got here. They also give some background on “propaganda of the deed,” an anarchist tactic with a long and bloody history, and evaluate its current revolutionary potential.

Jamie and Sam return with their Global Uprisings Series, profiling revolutionary activity and social unrest that has occurred in at least five countries over the past week. The Syrian civil war has its battlelines drawn once again with the latest, complicated assault against the Assad regime. Tens of thousands riot in Georgia, demanding acceptance into the European Union through their use of black bloc tactics. Pakistani supporters of Imran Khan rise-up to demand his release from political imprisonment as residents of Italy fight the police in Milan. Finally, South Koreans push back against martial law.
We live in the era of revolts. Our gut tells us this is only the beginning.
