#674 We're such a minority under attack in the goth scene that we literally risk our lives here. (preview)
TODAY: We say goodbye to Matt Gaetz and marvel at his twitter response to the allegations against him. PLUS: We delve deeper into the darkness of the Conservative Goths Facebook page than perhaps any other podcast to bring you tales of "Can I at least get a hug?" wife guys, more pro-fa rip-offs of antifa graphics, and a young goth concerned for a conservative family member who works for the federal government that DOGE promises to dismantle. Fellow goths ask: can she inform on her coworkers to save herself? ALSO: A Jaguar ad perplexes and infuriates the right wing, but thankfully they discover a Volvo ad into which they can put their hopes and dreams.

FOR THE REST OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON DUE TO OUR SCHEDULE, MDC IS PATREON ONLY. SUPPORT THE SHOW AT PATREON.COM/MINIONDEATHCULT FOR ACCESS TO HUNDREDS OF BONUS EPISODES AND A NEW EPISODE EVERY WEEK. TODAY: We visit X, the website for dads clapping-back at their daughter’s tik toks to watch a bitcoin breakdancer explain why he abandoned his family to be the oldest competitive funky white guy in the country AND we dive into COWORKER CORE—that special blend of memes and music posted by the work acquaintance you made the mistake of friending on Facebook. We look at the rightwing memes posted by one of Alex’s coworkers and discover a completely fake but trending story about Biden granting migrant slaves to families willing to house them. “You can’t make this sh*t up”

#673 This is a LOT of things. But definitely NOT refreshing (preview)
TODAY: Marjorie Taylor Greene defends alleged pedophile sex trafficker Matt Gaetz, threatening to release ALL ethics investigations if Republicans don't ignore Gaetz's, MAGA responds: "We love your veiny c*ck, MTG!" PLUS: More MTG as she uses Laken Reilly's killer's conviction as a rallying cry for mass deportations. We discuss the right's (historic) tactic of using female victimhood as a vehicle for fascism and discuss the ways racial grievance politics obscure actual class relations. FINALLY: A "Never Trump" republican Fox Business host reveals that President Elect Trump consulted BlackWater exec Larry Fink about his Treasury Secretary pick (complimentary), and dissident anti-woke patriots share confusion about very basic class relations.

#672 "There's no such thing as 'predatory pricing.' That's a liberal construct."
TODAY: We say goodbye to a normal world as the show initiates the Peak Season Option and goes patreon-only for the rest of the year. (patreon.com/miniondeathcult) ALSO: Bernie Sanders betrays the left by working to lower credit card interest rates... with Trump?? PLUS: "Anarchist" and Libertarian arguments for supporting these major financial institutions FINALY: US Postal Workers are in the middle of "contract negotiations" in which their abysmally weak union wants them to accept a ~1% pay raise and further entrenchment of horrible working conditions. We discuss some of those working conditions, discuss an active Vote No campaign, look back at the history of successful wildcat strikes and the possibility of one today, and address the continuous propaganda campaign against these workers and the USPS as a whole.

#671 We will end the wars by winning them (preview)
TODAY: We start with beautiful, confusing comments from the Minion Death Cult YouTube comment section (like and subscribe) THEN: Some Democratic voters turn to conspiracy theory after the fallout of Harris's presidential loss. Did you know Elon Musk is a billionaire with multiple government contracts...? PLUS: The grotesque menagerie of cabinet appointments announced by past and future president Trump leads the dissident right to proclaim "finally, the adults are back in charge." ALSO: The myriad ways in which "anti-war" Trump supporters are dove-washing the explicitly pro-war, neoconservative officials with whom he surrounds himself.

#670 If there was no social media, you would be my concubines.
TODAY: We check out the right-wing reaction to Trump's win which is unfortunately hyper-fixated on assault, and ponder the hetero-flexibility that occurs in politically destabilized zones. PLUS: Trump voters' daddy issues are still on display, this time via the Man Shed facebook page AND: Staten Island Ferry workers' contract win + backpay enrages New York Post, commenters, twitter hashtag lawyers.

#669 MDC ELECTION FALLOUT BONANZA: The Afterspace (preview)
It's so Joe-ver. Sorry for the late release folks. Busy week. We're the aftermath of Democrats' disastrous presidential campaign and faced with another Trump presidency We review the Democratic party's strategy and figure out which scapegoat will allow us to learn nothing from this historic event. Were Democrats too nice to latinos? Did they not sufficiently support Israel? Did they not gestate enough republican never-Trumper egg sacs? What is going on?? Also: The voting public's desire for "change" from a two-party system that only moves rightward, hemorrhaging working class voters but still winning the union vote, and a Democrat who helped Biden screw up the Afghanistan withdrawal figures out the real problem: trans kids on sports teams.

#668 MDC ELECTION DAY BONANZA aka "Peanut The Squirrel may stand as the story of the weekend leading up to the presidential election"
It's that time of years: Election Day. And what an election it's been. We give the official MDC presidential prognosis (Both candidates will save democracy) and dive into the Trump campaign's truly bizarre endgame strategies. Micro-targeted racism to Puerto Ricans, a spiteful McDonald's shift, handing your ground game off to Elon Musk who tells everyone your presidency will result in necessary hardship and a market crash, and many more incredible tactics.

#667 I'm in a bad mood all the time because of these commie assholes (preview)
TODAY: We're lamenting the existence of woke halloween decorations and mourning the loss of REAL halloween decorations (witch, skeleton, pumpkin) and we get some feedback about our criticism of the PEDOPHILES FOR HARRIS WALZ halloween sign. PLUS: Trump gets a mean racist to open for him at Madison Square Garden, and several (Puerto Rican) Trump fans finally find the limit of their intolerance.
