Twink Revolution Podcast

We're closing up the shop in the only way we know how… with a final excruciating Eurovision episode. We're joined by special guests to help slog through all the wonders and horrors of Europe's pop nightmare.    Guests include:   River (@river_is_nice) Zach Langley Chi Chi (@asukahomo) Jack TPN (@lotus__point) Mila (@milaghorayeb) Anna K. (@annakhachiyan) Nick & Cris from Thot Topics (@VlRTUALBOY and @youre2basic) Christian Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) Pericles Abbasi (@ElectionLegal) Tom Ballard (@TomCBallard)

We discuss Chelsea Manning's declaration that she's ‘terrified' of Glenn Greenwald. What would make a notorious enemy of the state afraid of the nice gay Jewish vegan man who came on our show once? Could it be that non-Democrats are very scary? We discuss abortion a lot, but we try not to be too heavy-handed about it because the whole point we make is basically about that. We finish up on China's version of culture wars on gamers and sissy celebrities and tease our next guest hot off ABBA's announcement: Holographic Karl Marx

We discuss trusting the experts and putting the bad people on no-fly lists. We also discuss Socialists for Gavin Newsom and the cognitive dissonance required to be a crypto-democrat in 2021. We talk about Beyonce wearing an expensive diamond and where it should be returned to if anybody asks us, and finally we cover OnlyFans flip-flopping on explicit content and how they represent the latest effort to de-proletarianize another segment of the working class.

We're back and discussing storms in the Middle West, the consequences of pulling out in the Middle East, Market Days, the Current Affairs Anarchist Ivy League Brat situation, and Mayor Pete and Chasten having kids until the focus groups stop approving.

We get very animated about the Olympic coverage, Russian men's gymnastics, and NBC's lackluster TV coverage of an event that is basically designed around TV coverage. We discuss the new clipart Pride flag that's even more inclusive and depressing. We also talk about the new improved Latin American Pink Tide 2.0

We're backkkkkkkk

We’re doing DISCOURSE. Pride discourse! Israel discourse! Assadist discourse! Police defunding and re-funding discourse! The Squad discourse! Discourse discourse! Discourse discourse discourse!

We’re back with Zach Langley Chi Chi from I’m So Popular podcast and Christian to discuss Eurovision 2021. We discuss the propaganda games of certain countries, the numerous sparkly dresses, Malta’s Lizzo knockoff, and continuously get wrong facts like how many times Italy has won the contest.

We come off our recent YouTube community strike to talk about Israel and Palestine… nothing likely to upset anybody there. We talk about pink washing and the murder of a young gay Iranian getting American regime change NGOs salivating. Finally, we briefly review our feelings on the recent UK Labour losses.   Gaza Fights for Freedom documentary: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HnZSaKYmP2s Alexei Arora’s analysis of UK Labour’s loss: https://alexeiarora.substack.com/p/how-uk-labour-lost-the-working-class

The boys are back in town and it’s Cinco de Mayo. We discuss our recent travels in a post-vaccine world, New Zealand firing workers for refusing the vaccine, menthol cigarette bans, and the total supremacy of San Francisco Democrats over your life. The Navy has an all gay helicopter crew and the CIA is doing inclusive recruitment now. Finally, if you liked Jonestown, just wait until you hear about Hammertown.

We’re joined by Catherine Liu (@bureaucatliu) to discuss her wonderful new book, Virtue Hoarders: The Case Against the Professional Managerial Class. We find out who the PMC are and where and why they arose. We also bag on them pretty hard.

We’re back, recovering from vaccine damage and plugging various Microsoft products. We discuss Peru’s surprising electoral results with a socially conservative economic populist leading the pack, France having another go at banning hijabs for children, and Twitter’s new Milque Toast Alliance.

We’re back in the same city and we review the misfortunes of March, globally, historically, and personally. It turns out there are cheetahs in Asia, the US invades a lot of places in March, Ted Cruz accidentally seemed reasonable when viewing ICE child cages, and we declare the pandemic over (if you want it).

In a slightly subdued (read: early morning) episode, we’re joined again by Ashley Frawley (@AshleyAFrawley) to reflect on what we’ve learned from the last 12 months of pandemic life, the exercise of kindly power, work from home, and the HRification of life.

We’re joined once again by Twinkrev.com editor River to discuss Russia’s Eurovision entry, Alexander Reid Ross’s Red-Brown alliance fantasies, The Grayzone clapping back against the anarchists, Pro-ACT and unionization efforts, and the Vatican saying the Church won’t bless same-sex unions.

We discuss Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week, the Columbia professor who is selling a book about doing heroin, Billionaires plagiarizing The Matrix, and that new Britney documentary that only Sam has watched.

We’re back with no guests this week to discuss AOC’s trauma bonding sessions in congress and American enthusiasm for Navalny in Russia. We also insult the Spanish royal family in a legally actionable way and untangle geopolitical changes in Myanmar and Ecuador.

We’re joined by Ortant (@0rt_nt_per) and Jack (@lotus__point) from The Perfume Nationalist to start to heal our divided nation the only way we know how… by giving a grueling, blow-by-blow review of the movie event of the year: Wonder Woman 1984.

We’re reporting LIVE from Capitol Hill as protesters threaten our beautiful democracy. We try to figure out how these protests affect the people that matter... journalists. Inside the same building, we found out the entire Squad voted for Pelosi, Lin Manuel Miranda is doing a 2006-style NOH8 campaign, Google has a minority union, and Julian Assange can’t be extradited to our prisons because Epstein definitely killed himself.

We’re joined by Angie Speaks (@SpeaksAngie) to discuss her journey as a Youtuber on the left, political development outside the ivory tower, her new “Abolish the Family” video, the US left vs the British left, and the End SARS campaign in Nigeria.  Angie’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/SpeaksAngie Angie on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/angiespeaks Angie’s Tarot-themed Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/angie-speaks---4-queens-tarot-merch/

We’re back with our first regular episode since the Biden/Harris regime seized power. We analyze the election a little bit, but mostly we just yell angrily about how awful the beige, smooth wall of liberal consensus was before and after it. We also talk about what we’ve been watching, which is 100% exclusively media about the NXIVM cult and Scientology. Gian muses as to whether the Democratic party is best analyzed as a cult and then Sam steps on the joke.

We’re joined by Alex Holmstrom-Smith (@holmstromsmith) to discuss the state of commercial surrogacy. Is it tied to the sex work debate? What are the arguments against it? And how do we buy a designer baby Ceausescu clone using our Patreon money?

We’re joined by our Japanese bureau chief, American drag queen Zach Langley Chi Chi of I’m So Popular Podcast! We discuss life as a gay American expat in Japan, the transgressive nature of Japanese queer life, the nanny state to fash pipeline, why American drag queens are becoming so basic, and restoring vulgarity to gay aesthetics. I'm So Popular Website

We kick off Season 2 with the lovely boys at the Thot Topics Podcast to discuss their podcasting journey. We then take them on a horrifying journey through some highlights and lowlights from Eurovision, ensuring that Season 2 is gayer, wetter, and more dubious from a copyright fair use perspective.

We’ve made it a full year together, which probably makes us your longest relationship. We celebrate the end of Season 1, and recall everything that we’ve done together, as well as hear from some of our many, many fans.

We discuss the fires in California, relitigate the role of WW2 veterans in modern society, discuss the role of necrophilia in consent discourse and doing an OnlyFans with your dad. We also cover J.K. Rowling’s latest literary effort and the plight of meaningful character development. Finally, we discuss the Jacobin article “Why Liberals Should Unite With Socialists, Not the Right.”

We engage with ‘the woman question’ by questioning two women, Mila Ghorayeb (@sedcontra_) and Esperanza Fonesca (@endclasssociety), on their views on Marxist understandings of feminism, domestic labor, gender identity, and we round it out by trying to figure out what the left needs to do to take power.

We’re joined by author, journalist, and political rabble-rouser, Caleb Maupin, to discuss his new book, Kamala Harris & The Future of America.

Oh, mournful morning, when I awoke in Tacoma and saw, alas, my Tinder lacked a Vaushian option! Who will be inside me within two hours as I discuss the Election Victory Party in the Castro? Or as I review the Pinkwashing attempts of the Trump and Biden campaigns? Or as I discuss the events in Kenosha, WI and Portland, OR? Woe is me, indeed. Perhaps I shall go on a general strike until my dearest Vaush agrees to occupy my person once again. Twink Rev on Thot Topics Episode 30

We’re joined by Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) to discuss his amazing life, the attacks against him and his marriage, Alex Morse, Aaron Coleman, the state of journalism, Brazillian politics, and his reflections on the upcoming US election and the forgotten lessons from the Bush era.
