Episode notes
Why The Trump Coalition Is Starting To Fracture
- Michael Malice argues the old conservative movement has fragmented because anti-progressivism was the only glue holding very different factions together.
- He groups techno-anarchists, Christian nationalists, and race realists as allies of convenience who start fighting once the common enemy weakens.
Why Malice Thinks The War Machine Moves Anyway
- Michael Malice says blaming Israel alone misses the larger driver of war, because bureaucracies and militaries always seek bigger budgets and new missions.
- He compares it to food stamp and Pentagon spending, arguing those systems keep expanding regardless of the stated justification.
The Danger Of Urging Iranians To Revolt
- Michael Malice fears calls for Iranians to rise up are reckless if the U.S. will not protect them after they act.
- He cites Afghanistan and Venezuela as warnings that people encouraged to resist can be abandoned and then slaughtered by the regime.
