Subversive w/Alex Kaschuta

I speak to Spencer about being a classicist in a post-modern world, hysteria as the baseline feeling, the longing for order and guidance, and how it manifests under a system where order is seen as fundamentally oppressive. We also speak about being gay and adjacent to the dissident right and BAP's perspective on the origin of homosexuality. Spencer Klavan is a classicist, writer and podcast host, he is also Associate Editor at the Claremont Review of Books @ClaremontIns, Features Editor at the American Mind @theammind, and Host of the Young Heretics Show @ynghereticsshow

I chat with Ben about the escalating situation in Ukraine, the waning US empire, and the Covid truth regime, from origins to medications to side effects, animal reservoirs of the virus, and what you can do to strengthen yourself against its likely effects as Omicron comes for us all.

I chat with Thomas about Ukraine and historical precedents, Chinese dominance vs. Western hegemony, technology as a motor of history, Liberalism, Religion as a vacuum that needs to be filled, scale, localism, having children and the global fertility decline, going mainstream, making the transition from obscure forums to Substack, his advice for young'uns, and much more.

I speak to Anacreon about confluent online spheres, about reaching the same conclusions about liberalism via different redpill flavors, about high trust societies, social capital and how hard this is to build and how easy to burn, believing in progress, talking to your neighbors, Liberal democracy, the nuclear family, hard work and equality of opportunity. Anacreon is a guest with a unique origin story and one of the few non-Twitter-derived guests on this podcast. I found his great account on Instagram @totallynotanacreon and it is well worth a visit. He specializes in post-liberal infographics and if you're in the market of adding spicy stuff to your instastories, he is your man. He now has a Twitter profile as well @notanacreon and writes at https://federalistreview.org/

I speak to Pedro about his merciless attacks on neocons, being faced with accusations of antisemitism and surviving them, the "new right" candidates and political recalibration, the slow death of fusionism, "Trans" as a profound distortion of reality, Trump as necessary but not sufficient, castizo futurism and much more.

I speak to illustrator Owen Cyclops @owenbroadcast about the meaning of creating "right-wing art", leaving the framing of the left and building our own perspective on reality, his evolution from psychedelic hermit to Christian family man, conspiracy theories, psychedelics as a portal to enlightenment or a trap, worldviews and cosmologies as a necessary frame, forbidden literature, rediscovering western mysticism, Mormonism as a religion of the family, growing a family, being a father and much more.
