Minion Death Cult

TODAY: Sean of The Antifada podcast and the Independent Labor Club joins us to discuss important current events: Alex and Ani's wedding. Did he like the goats? The eggrolls from our neighbor? Shooting arrows at parade attendees? We get him on the record. ALSO: Going to war with Iran on behalf of Israel--is it good to? We examine the various arguments in favor of the US's missle strike on Iran's nuclear site, such as Charlie Kirk's "Don't worry about it, kitten" and the Libertarian Candidates Meme Army's "I will NOT be a slave to Iran" Will this apologia be enough to maintain support for Trump amid his extremely unpopular and destabilizing foreign policy decisions? Will he go from being good Hitler (genocidal) to bad Hitler (incompetent, deranged, defeated)?

Originally Aired: January 10th 2020 Hey Everyone. Alex is on vacation the next two weeks because he's getting married. Premium episodes will release uninterrupted. I don't remember all of what this episode was about because I was working 14 hour days through covid and the only description I wrote is "It's the Iran episode" Get a bonus episode every week by signing up at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult for only $5/month  Music:  Trial - War By Other Means  

TODAY: We mess with the Zohan by reviewing the bizarre 2008 Adam Sandler comedy following an Israeli super soldier who defects to the US when he tires of "all the fighting going on over there" in order to be a successful American sex criminal and Salon owner. Probably the most bizarre Sandler outing, the effort sees the star trying to make comedy with liberal zionism and (more effectively) ruthlessly depicting a revolting Israeli culture. In Zohan, we see two Israelis: the uber mensch zionist warrior from Jewish lore, and the deluded narcissist who can't stop sexually harassing people and getting into screaming matches with female service workers. Luckily this contradiction doesn't need to be resolved as we discover the bloody conflict is really being orchestrated by nefarious WASP mall developers (not that wrong actually) Order Sloppy by Rax King here or from your local bookstore Get a bonus episode every week by signing up at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult for only $5/month

TODAY: Trump V Musk. Who will win? Or is it "Sun Tzu level warfare"? We cover the open conflict between the two high-energy type A alpha males. What did Elon mean by "Trump is in the Epstein files"? What did Trump mean by "Elon is a drug addict"? Could this be a golden opportunity for Democrats to add another repulsive billionaire to their team? Are the crafty showmen staging a brilliant game of 4D chess visible only to their most emotionally intelligent supporters? Or is this just another false gesture at a hidden world of elite predators who will never see justice? Possibly, but either way at least I'm racist now.

TODAY: Alex details a rough workweek and the strange case of his employer having more volume and business than the shareholders would prefer. Due to overwork grievances and disciplined work methods from drivers, the company was forced to hire an additional 5 full-time drivers. Likewise in Minnesota the union wins 30 new full-time positions to fight company-wide layoffs and building closures. ALSO: The Battle of Los Angeles. Thousands of LA residents rise up against ICE raids on their neighbors, protesting the violence and cruelty wielded by the militarized agency.  An SEIU labor leader is injured and arrested, and Teamsters voice their support. We argue for the dignity and protection of all workers and respond to some reactionary and nativist union sentiments.

TODAY: A new poll finds that popular ideas are more popular than rebranded Reaganite de-regulation? We dive into the unpopularity of Abundance and try to convince Democrats that it's not about what they want--it's about what will sucessfully lose elections.  AND: Staged, badly-acted videos of black people behaving reprehensibly until white men stand up For What's Right are circulating the internet.  Black conservative commentator Jason Whitlock attemps to debunk the video to his right-wing brothers, only to be met with shocking and vitriolic racism. Some conservatives, however, are forced to reckon with the artificiality of these racist videos and are left to wonder: "Why would someone do this?"

Meanwhile, filibusterin' fool Cory Booker becomes the only Democrat voting to confirm convicted blackmailer Charles Kushner (Jared's dad) as ambassador to France, and Democrats find out just how close the New Jersey senator is to the Kushner family.

TODAY: Newsmax pundit Greg Kelley is viciously assaulted by the wet pain on a light post while just chillin'. The light pole was probably an honor student too!!

We check out responses from the alpha males and your facebook grandma who just learned the term from Terrence K Williams and is now afraid for her life. FINALLY: Trump goes NUCLEAR on pop stars Taylor Swift and Bruce Springsteen calling them NAMES. Aspiring twitter influencers take up the fight as well, performing vicious, Grok-generated roasts of the musicians for their podcast audiences. Music: Slow Mass - Hell is Earth SOPHIE - Ponyboy

TODAY: Elon Musk's Grok crashes out, trying to reconcile the South African millionaire's obsession with White Genocide with the fact that White Genocide does not exist.

ALSO: Conservatives respond to a report about how basic living standards are out of reach for 60% of Americans. Should corporations allow you to live if you're not providing them with enough value? We discuss. Music: Machine Girl - Dance in the Fire Engine Down - Taken In

TODAY: A rural NY gun dealer fires on a lost DoorDash delivery driver, hitting him in the back and causing serious injury.  The right wing unites around calls to hold these reckless gig employees responsible for their actions. Shouldn't they know better than to ask an American Homeowner for help? PLUS: Finland wages war on the successful by ticketing drivers with fines weighted to their income. We explore how driving extremely fast is like capitalism (good) and requires superior intellectual capabilities, such as rationalizing vehicular homicide. Get a bonus episode every week by signing up at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult for only $5/month     

TODAY: AG Pam Bondi is forced by plucky kid detective James O'Keefe into announcing that the FBI is watching Epstein's child sexual exploitation videos as fast as they can, but that thing from I Love Lucy happened where there was actually so much abuse material that it clogged the investigation machine and created a huge mess they have to clean up first. We examine the few excuses from MAGA for the continued "delay" and see if they hold up to the overwhelming number of concerns by those who JUST WANT TO SEE THESE VIDEOS ALREADY!!! ALSO: Serious deportation enjoyers wonder why the Trump administration is deporting fewer people than Biden but making a violent and distasteful show of arresting single mothers and politicians attempting oversight over the federal agency. Is this a plot by blue-state cops to make Trump look bad? Probably! Music: Slow Pulp - Cramps Kaizo Slumber - I am Happy Because Everyone Loves me (feat. Fromjoy)

TODAY: A jam-packed episode starts with Kanye's newest banger: a song about how his wife made him be a nazi. They're calling it the most divorced track of all time. The formerly talented artist demonstrates with painful clarity the power of the Cuck meme--using the fetish as a title for his new album and laying bare a series of pathetic embarrassments, perhaps the best example of which is becoming a black Nazi. ALSO: Anti-war president Trump praises Anduril drones as "nasty looking things" and waxes nostalgic for a time when you could look up and see the moon instead of swarms of mechanized death.

Can a hippie nerd with a magic mushroom take down Big Pharma and their government cronies? ALSO: Trump tells reporters his "third term" speculation isn't a joke, and his loyal followers pretend that its still a joke, lament that it's not real, and mock liberals for their concern. We discuss the methods Trump might use to run for a third term and wonder if this final power grab would be enough for normal liberals to start doing very cool things. LASTLY: We review some instagram clickbait slop in the form of Nazbol butt rock. Can the far left and the far right unite to make cutting music for 13 year-olds about flying on broken wings??

TODAY: We follow up on Trump's on-again-off-again Tariffs to remind everyone that we are watching a master at work.  Why would Trump tank the stock market, lose a bunch of political capital to achieve less than nothing? We look at the 5D chess explanations such as: "It's called insider trading, dumbass," and "the market is volatile, idiot" ALSO: The right wing has gone too long without a race war, so theyre desperately taking an imagined L in the self-defense stabbing of a white teen by a black teen who was reportedly assaulted at a track meet.

TODAY: Ani joins us to observe the further nazification of this country with news of the young, black, self-hating groyper who killed another student and himself while leaving behind a manifesto filled with hopelessness and internet-poisoned ideology.

ALSO: The Trump administration vows to apprehend undocumented migrants at schools and churches, leading teachers across the country to vow to defend their students from ICE. Libs of Tik Tok and others on the right reaffirm their commitment to evil with fantasies about punishing teachers for protecting students--while refusing to acknowledge the substance of their fears FINALLY: One post-left dissident has the courage to ask--now that we've blown up anti-racism and started processing human filth for mass deportation, can we help ease the pain of factory-farmed pigs? We determine if the right can be racism'd into caring about literal animals and we consider the argument that deporting undocumented workers alone will fix the factory farming practices.

Moose??? A local news station reports on a hunter's interesting (or gross!!!) discovery and Facebook conservatives react with angry confusion. Is this the result of democratic leadership? Does this moose make anyone else think about molesting kids? We can at least all agree the situation is SAD and DISGUSTING.

TODAY: We uncover and discuss a different type of racism dividing the working class: Truck Driver Supremacy, as Alex shares an annoying argument with a Bezos-boosting Teamster who insists on making the union smaller. ALSO: Trump has an "impressive" 3-hour meeting with Bill Gates, leading many Trump supporters to go "Huh?" Was Trump holding this meeting against his will? Was the meeting a ploy to get Bill Gates' confession on tape? Either way Trump probably didn't like it.

ALSO: Work is freakin' pissin' Alex off so he BLOWS OFF SOME STEAM!!!!!!!!!!! TRY NOT TO GET OFFENDED PEACHCAKE FINALLY: Some misguided coworkers want the government to make Facebook implement Real ID so they can win an argument online; others complain about how there aren't enough security hoops to jump through when entering the building.

TODAY: We voice appreciation for the year's positive developments like an intriguing facebook friend request (a harbinger of wealth and success, perhaps) and a cop getting thrown from a speeding convertible. ALSO: Facebook shows us the damning truth about the Suffragettes (they were really cool) and we find out about girl math (cancelling out your husband's vote) PLUS: Our quest to learn more about feminist terrorism leads us to some prime reactionary posts and a guy who blames the recent Las Vegas terrorist explosion on a feminist plot (read: divorce).

TODAY: Ani's in the cohost Chair and Brett Payne of Street Fight Radio, Relatively Unknown, and our friendship returns to the show to talk about neo-Nazis being pummeled by Columbus OH residents at their last attempted march. Are all racists feds? Or maybe gay, anti-Trump Republicans? Russians? And is there any difference between Nazis and anti-genocide activists anyway? PLUS: A San Fransisco Slimeball pimp-turned-anti-homeless-activist-turned-alleged-pimp-again, Raw Ricci, is arrested. We look at his awful viral rise to fame and the sensible centrist politicians who aided him. We also learn about fans of Ricci's poverty porn harassment-style content and learn their not very surprising opinions about him being arrested for pimping and assaulting a minor.

TODAY: We ring in the new year by checking in on the MAGA movement a month before Trump is set to take office, and things are not great. A civil war erupts between white nationalist Trump supporters and a tech elite insistent on the necessity of poaching cheaper, more precarious immigrant labor over American workers. We watch the right wing discover class consciousness in spite of their hyper-fixation on race and witness "good" Indians like Dinesh D'Souza prostrate themselves before their racist base while Vivek gives Uneducated Whites the scolding of a lifetime. PLUS: Teamsters President Sean O'Brien shares details of the union's meeting with the Kamala Harris campaign and makes staggering claims about her behavior: refusing to answer most of the union's questions, leaving early, and refusing a press conference. We ask whether Kamala should've b***** slapped that motha effa and do the Democrats really need labor anyway?

TODAY: We review the bizarre new "holiday" special from the scrooged-up (racist) mind of Ventriloquist Jeff Dunham. We marvel at the special's bizarre premise: a 1-hour setup for a Jeff Dunham Christmas Carol... that will supposedly happen next year. We enter the child-like minds of Jeff and his audience to analyze his and his audience's sometimes unsuccessful attempts at racism and anti-gay bigotry. And we meet a new, semi-professional ventriloquist dummy which by all accounts seems to be a quality product available for purchase this holiday season.
