The Carousel Podcast

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.

On this week’s Carousel we have anon Meta Prime. I like to think of him as the halfway house of the Dissident Right. Not an insult; it’s a beautiful role to play. He helps people who have recently “broken free from the mainstream delusion,” escape not into nothingness (total disconnection from friends/family/work) or toxicity (conspiritard obsessions), but into a meaningful existence as a noticer and rejector of the mainstream narrative.His steps towards a healthy dissident lifestyle are as follows: * Awakening* Framework Building* Self-Improvement* Creation* World BettermentYou can learn more about these steps, and see much more of his work, at his beautifully designed website: MetaPrime001.com.The Carousel is a reader-supported publication.

Rushing this one out to provide on-the-ground perspective of the Hamas attack in Israel, October 6th, 2023, on 50th Anniversary of the Yom Kippur War. Just minutes ago, Israel officially declared war in response to a series of coordinated attacks on both civilian and military targets, along with a rocket barrage.I’m joined by based Twitter friend and Israeli Settler Baruch Kogan. One of my favorite accounts, his wry commentary always makes me laugh. He's also a fascinating dude; he lives in a small Jewish settlement on a hill in Samaria, where he is currently posted up, attempting to better arm himself while protecting his family, and refusing to run away or back down.He says that this is the most significant Israel incursion in two decades, and will have major implications for the current Israeli government and the world. How did this happen, and why now? He answers everything in the episode.
