The Carousel Podcast

Steve Sailer is a legendary blogger—one of the first and best to ever do it. As he says on the show, at his peak he published 15 culture articles per week, all in his signature beautiful prose. He’s known for his work on HBD, but I was more interested to talk to him about movies, of which he’s a fabulous reviewer, and about Los Angeles, of which he is a native son. He joins me live in studio!Please become a paid subscriber in the box below for access to paywalled content, the full archive, and the member chat!The Carousel is a reader-supported publication.

Wokal Distance AKA Michael Young is a cultural researcher at the Center for Renewing America. We discuss the history of American culture and counterculture—specifically how the cycle of commodified non-conformity is used to control the masses and expand the very capitalism that its proponents (originally the Critical Theorists) sought to undermine. Also, where does this leave the “ascendant” cultural right? If it’s all just a cycle of faux rebellion, where is there to ascend to? The books discussed are The Rebel Sell by Andrew Heath and Joseph Potter, and The Conquest of Cool by Thomas Frank.

My understanding of USAID was my original red pill, and came as a result of reading Confessions of an Economic Hitman while working as a legal intern at a M&A law firm in Vietnam. This is a solo episode of The Carousel discussing USAID, patronage networks, and the new Government NGO Tracker, which is being widely misinterpreted and mis-used to falsely accuse people like Richard Hanania and Christopher Rufo of being USAID recipients (certainly not defending Hanania, and I think he probably is compromised in some way, but still I’m going to be loyal to the truth). Ultimately, I believe the greatest evil of USAID-style patronage is the vast astroturfing, and thus destruction, of art, as seen on display in this viral video involving comic Natalie Cuomo.
