Seneca Scott is a based Oakland community organizer. Yes, you read that right.

Many people are asking about my tweets and perspective surrounding the LA riots and the pictorial propaganda arising therefrom. I have tweeted about this, attempting, crudely, to make people see what I see when I see these photos, which are essentially advertisements for the enemies of America. Now, it could very well be that the images coming out of the protests are exactly the opposite. That's why I did the episode, to explain all sides and my perspective.

I'm joined by budding talking head Nicole Kiprilov to discuss Alex Kaschuta's open betrayal of the online right in the New York Times. Previously, Kaschuta had been a sort of gateway drug to the dissident right, hosting various major figures on her podcast and cringe-ily spouting meme phrases in ways that she, and many simps, thought was very cute. Of course, it didn't last. As soon as she realized that she may have to actually live by some of the principles she received attention for flirting with, she quickly ran back to the warm embrace of girl boss feminism. Her recent “you need to work harder to include women” rhetoric, and podcast appearances fretting about tariffs made her the heroine of a NYT piece about the vibe shifting against the dissident right, nevermind that it is of course this very unwillingess to compromise that drew her to us in the first place.I'd been predicting this disturbing end to the her arc for quite some time.

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.

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?
