The Carousel Podcast

I’m joined by Martin Sellner, leader of Identitäre Bewegung Österreich (Identitarian Movement of Austrian). His movement supports remigration out of Europe, what we would call mass deportations. Eery similarities pervade the overwhelming flood of immigrants into both of our countries, both inexplicably borderless, and the reactions are also quite similar, although America has perhaps more excuses for it than Austria.Crazily, the symbol of his movement has been literally banned from public display in Austria; displaying it could get you arrested in Vienna. This despite it being outwardly anti-Nazi and ethnopluralistic (e.g. not racist in the sense hand wrung over by globalists). He describes the ridiculousness of the iconoclastic symbol ban and much else in our fantastic conversation.

Why did Gavin Newsom lie about his promise to conduct one million acres of controlled burns, over-stating them by 690%? Why didn’t Rick Caruso’s properties burn while everything else did? What’s the primary cause of the LA fire? Arson? Empty reservoirs? Bad forest management?What does containment actually mean? Why don’t we do controlled burns like the Native Americans did? I speak with the Gabriel Kirkpatrick Mann, the incisive and trustworthy director of critically-acclaimed documentary Hotshot (2023), to get some answers. He embedded with firefighters for years, and he’s an expert on the topic of California wildfire, the absolute best guy to get real information from during this hectic time when bad information is everywhere. Rent and support Hotshot to discover the real truth behind the “fire industrial complex” as described by Mann.The Carousel is a reader-supported publication.

Talking with fascinating poster Titus Techera about his article “The Third Wave of Journalism,” in which he argues that the era of heroic objective journalism was no more than a fleeting manifestation of Boomer naivety, and that the internet has heralded a return to the natural state of pamphleteering.“The three waves of journalism—the successive attempts to connect political technologies, that is, institutions, to the people, corresponding to the major communications technologies, print, radio/TV, and the Internet—have dealt with this in somewhat different ways. Originally, American pamphleteering was vicious, pompous, and nakedly corrupt—but it was also organized and practiced by the noblest Americans and therefore involved the most serious thinking and the deepest disputes of American politics. Journalism was at the core of the creation and management of the first-party system and also involved the spoils of party victory to feed it.”Check out his Substack here: YouTube of this podcast (Subscribe to me on YouTube!)The Carousel is a reader-supported publication.
