01:04:11 – 01:05:42News Sites Locking Content to Fight AI ScrapingPublishers are walling off content behind paywalls to prevent AI models from scraping and repackaging their work. The tension between tech platforms and media outlets is framed as a struggle over fair compensation for content creation. 01:08:03 – 01:09:45Curtis Yarvin's Influence on Musk's America PartyElon Musk's consultation with Curtis Yarvin, a monarchist and critic of democracy, raises concerns about the ideological direction of his proposed third party. The segment critiques Yarvin's technocratic vision and Silicon Valley's shift toward authoritarian models. 01:24:38 – 01:25:58Grok AI Incident Escalates Concerns Over Speech ControlGrok's outburst, including racist and anti-Semitic remarks, leads to calls for stronger controls. The segment criticizes both the AI's behavior and the push to implement government-regulated speech enforcement through tech platforms. 01:29:03 – 01:30:39Free Speech vs. Censorship in the Age of AICritique is leveled at efforts to censor “hate speech” on platforms like X, arguing that free speech must include the right to offend. Attempts to bubble-wrap users from uncomfortable opinions are viewed as infantilizing and authoritarian. 01:58:36 – 02:07:12Trump's ‘Perfect War' Concept and Fallout Over Iran StrikeA commentary unpacks Trump's framing of the Iran attack as a theatrical “perfect war” and critiques his failure to fulfill promises on immigration, ending wars, and releasing Epstein files. The analysis argues the bombing strategy backfired by strengthening Iran internally and diminishing trust in U.S. diplomacy. 02:21:25 – 02:24:15MAGA Base Turns on Trump Over Epstein File Cover-UpMAGA supporters express betrayal after the DOJ denies Epstein kept a client list. Promised disclosures are abandoned, and visual symbols like burning MAGA hats signal backlash from the base. 02:29:33 – 02:31:30Memo Denies Epstein Blackmail Ring as Evidence DisappearsThe DOJ and FBI release a memo asserting no blackmail network existed, despite contradictions from earlier officials. A key minute of surveillance footage is missing, triggering renewed accusations of destruction of evidence. 02:34:48 – 02:39:54MAGA Loyalty Fractures Over Trump's Foreign Policy and Epstein HandlingTony Arterburn and others describe disillusionment in the MAGA base, citing Trump's support for Israel, failed vaccine policies, and Epstein-related secrecy. The sentiment grows that Trump supporters were misled and must reset their political expectations. 02:45:30 – 02:50:06U.S. Dollar Collapse, Global De-Dollarization, and BRICS ShiftThe conversation highlights the dollar's record decline and the rise of BRICS as a competing financial system. The segment argues the U.S. has lost global economic trust and can no longer use financial leverage as in the post-WWII era. 03:12:32 – 03:26:57Epstein Victim Speaks Out, Public Furious at Cover-UpA woman identifying as an Epstein victim accuses the U.S. government and Trump of betrayal after years of broken promises to release client information. The segment includes direct calls for accountability and sharply criticizes the DOJ's narrative that Epstein had no clients. Missing video footage and DOJ statements are called “stacked lies.” The public's frustration is described as a major turning point, with people across the political spectrum rejecting official explanations. 03:35:35 – 03:56:33RFK Jr. Sued Over COVID Vaccine Recommendations for Pregnant WomenRFK Jr. faces a federal lawsuit from major medical associations after removing COVID-19 vaccine recommendations for children and pregnant women. Critics of the suit argue it is driven by pharmaceutical interests, note the plaintiff organizations' industry funding, and suggest the vaccine lobby fears public scrutiny. The segment argues that questioning vaccine recommendations empowers doctors and threatens the liability shield protecting manufacturers. 03:56:33 – 03:57:40COVID Profits and Medical Industry Incentives for HarmThe discussion shifts to how hospitals profited from ventilator use and COVID protocols, asserting that financial incentives encouraged lethal treatment. The claim is that lives were lost for profit, not health, and that both public and private actors knowingly engaged in mass harm. 03:57:40 – 03:59:19Public Funding, Ventilator Deaths, and Ongoing DistrustHospitals allegedly received large payments for ventilator use, contributing to high mortality. The segment stresses continued public skepticism, describing this as one of the largest crimes against humanity, with the government and healthcare industry implicated.

This week, Scott sat down with Lawfare Senior Editors Molly Reynolds and Quinta Jurecic, and Contributing Editor Chris Mirasola, to focus on the week's big domestic news, including:“Drama Majors, Meet Major Drama.” In the glittering city of Los Angeles, the Trump administration has taken the dramatic step of calling up the California National Guard and deploying them alongside active duty Marines to secure federal personnel and facilities, specifically against protestors demonstrating against the Trump administration's draconian immigration policies. Is this the beginning of a broader threat to the constitutional order, as some of Trump's critics say it is? And what should we make of President Trump's suggestion that he may yet invoke the controversial Insurrection Act?“Precision Rescission, What's Your Mission?” The Trump administration has asked Congress to formally rescind a slice of the federal spending it has been withholding since entering office, specifically relating to foreign assistance and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting—a request the House seems poised to move on this week. How likely is it that Congress will agree to the cut in funds? And what will the implications be for relevant legal challenges and Trump's broader agenda?“There and Back Again.” After an unexpected journey and epic delays on the part of the government, the Trump administration has finally repatriated Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador—only to charge him with human trafficking and other federal crimes in Tennessee. How serious are the charges against him? And is this likely to be a win or loss for the administration's broader immigration agenda?In object lessons, Molly shared a ranking of New York mayoral candidates by their bagel orders—and whose order is so bad, it's a schmear on their very New Yorker-ness. Quinta recommends Ava Kofman's profile of Curtis Yarvin in the New Yorker as a masterclass in the art of meticulous evisceration.

The New Yorker staff writer Ava Kofman joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss her recent Profile of the iconoclastic right-wing blogger Curtis Yarvin. They discuss Yarvin's desire to end American democracy by installing a monarch, whether his provocations can be seen as trolling, and how his writings have found a receptive audience among conservative politicians and the tech élite. “Obviously, Yarvin's influence on the right is great, and maybe can't be overstated,” Kofman says. “But, at the same time, a lot of these ideas he's getting from having conversations with powerful people in Silicon Valley and with powerful people in Washington.”This week's reading: “Curtis Yarvin's Plot Against America,” by Ava Kofman “Democracy Wins a Referendum in South Korea,” by E.

In this episode of Hawk Podcasts, we dive headfirst into the bizarre and disturbing world of Curtis Yarvin, a.k.a. Mencius Moldbug—a man whose anti-democracy, neo-reactionary ideology is beloved by Silicon Valley elites like Peter Thiel, Mark Andreessen, and even JD Vance.Yarvin wants to replace democracy with a CEO-style monarchy. Yes, really. No elections, no opposition, just top-down autocratic control led by billionaires. We explore his connections to the Trump world, his shockingly racist writings, and his role in inspiring Project 2025.Along the way, we call out his bizarre terminology—“SovCorps,” “Patchwork Sovereignty,” and his casual praise for slavery as a “private welfare” solution. All from a man who claims he's not a white nationalist... even though he had to write essays explaining why.This is Part 1 of our Yarvin takedown. We'll laugh, we'll rage, we'll realign our chakras—because it's that wild.

Happy Russia Military Transport Aviation Day, everyone! This June 1st, all Nazi hunters celebrated as Ukraine destroyed 34% of Russia's warplanes. We're throwing a Gaslit Nation block party, featuring an old friend from the war, warning the world what comes next.  Splitting his time between the frontline in Ukraine and his animal sanctuary in South Africa, conservationist Lionel De Lange runs aid to animals and people alike on the frontlines of Russia's genocidal invasion, including shooting down drones at night. We discuss how World War III has already started; Russia's recent attempts to bomb Chernobyl to weaponize its radioactive waste against Ukraine and broader Europe; the recent disappointing elections in Poland; Zelensky's brilliant Operation Spider's Web that will live in history books; and why Putin is a dead man walking.  This week's bonus show focuses on how to protect our rights in a time of lawlessness, featuring insights from Leah Litman of the Strict Scrutiny podcast and author of Lawless: How the Supreme Court Runs on Conservative Grievance, Fringe Theories, and Bad Vibes, and why everyone should watch the livestream of George Clooney's Goodnight, and Good Luck on June 7th.  Thank you to everyone who supports the show – we could not make Gaslit Nation without you!  Want to enjoy Gaslit Nation ad-free?

Cathy Young's new hit piece on Curtis Yarvin (aka Mencius Moldbug) doesn't mince words. Titled The Blogger Who Hates America, it describes him as an "inept", "not exactly coherent" "trollish, ill-informed pseudo-intellectual" notable for his "woefully superficial knowledge and utter ignorance". Yarvin's fans counter that if you look deeper, he has good responses to Young's objections: Both sides are right. The synthesis is that Moldbug sold out. In the late 2000s, Moldbug wrote some genuinely interesting speculations on novel sci-fi variants of autocracy. Admitting that the dictatorships of the 20th century were horrifying, he proposed creative ways to patch their vulnerabilities by combining 18th century monarchy with 22nd century cyberpunk to create something better than either. These ideas might not have been realistic. But they were cool, edgy, and had a certain intellectual appeal. Then in the late 2010s, he caught his first whiff of actual power and dropped it all like a hot potato. The MAGA movement was exactly what 2000s Moldbug feared most - a cancerous outgrowth of democracy riding the same wave of populist anger as the 20th century dictatorships he loathed. But in the hope of winning a temporary political victory, he let them wear him as a skinsuit - giving their normal, boring autocratic tendencies the mystique of the cool, edgy, all-vulnerabilities-patched autocracy he foretold in his manifestos. https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/moldbug-sold-out

(A Szovjetunió felbomlása után Mihail Glinka Hazafias dal – Patrioticseszkaja Pesznya – című műve lett az orosz himnusz, de szöveg nélkül. A 2000-ben hatalomra került Putyin kifogásolta, hogy a sportolók nem tudják énekelni a szövegtelen himnuszt, ezért végül azt a megoldást találták ki, hogy visszahozták a szovjet himnusz dallamát, és Szergej Mihalkov írt rá új, kommunistamentes szöveget.) 13:30 A birodalom vándorlása.

Romantikus titanizmus. 29:00 Zsirinovszkij vs. Trump.

Zjuganov kommunista pártja nyerte az 1995-ös Duma-választást, Zjuganov maga pedig az óriási médiaellenszélben szűk második lett a semmiből visszahozott Jelcin mögött az 1996-os elnökválasztáson. 33:40 Jelcin táncoltatták. Trump magától táncol. 35:37: A szövegben az 1995-ös orosz elnökválasztás hangzik el, valójában az elnökválasztás 1996-ban volt, 1995-ben parlamenti (Duma-)választások voltak. 39:30 Elon Musk és Lázár, a fehérbohócok. 44:00 A mesterséges intelligencia fejlesztésén múlik a világ valódfi sorsa, az ukrán háború senkit sem érdekel.

The Tech Bros., like Elon Musk and JD Vance puppetmaster Peter Thiel, see Trump as a means to an end: to build their own tech-state fiefdoms as they usher in the A.I. age, at the expense of us peasants. But can this unholy alliance survive Trump's disastrous trade war? And why do they fetishize hating Ukraine?  This week's special guest, Adrian Karatnycky, has been on the frontlines fighting for democracy both at home and abroad. In his critically acclaimed book Battleground Ukraine, Adrian traces Ukraine's struggle for independence from the fall of the Soviet Union to Russia's genocidal invasion today, drawing important lessons for protecting democracies worldwide. He has worked alongside civil rights legend Bayard Rustin and the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of unions in America. He also supported Poland's Solidarity movement, which helped bring down the Iron Curtain, and played a key role, along with iconic Soviet dissident, writer, and Czech statesman Václav Havel, in preserving Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in the 1990s, when many thought the Cold War had ended.  In part two, we discuss the PayPal Mafia's war on Ukraine as part of a broader global assault on "wokeism" (a.k.a. Empathy and democracy), Adrian's impressions of meeting Curtis Yarvin, and how the war in Ukraine can ultimately end. For part one of their discussion, available in the show notes, Andrea and Adrian explore how Europe and the free world can survive the chaos of Trump's America First isolationism and Russia's weaponized corruption and election interference.  Thank you to everyone who joined the Gaslit Nation Salon live-taping with Patrick Guarasci and Sam Roecker, senior campaign advisors for Judge Susan Crawford, discussing their victory against Elon Musk in the pivotal Wisconsin Supreme Court race.

This week, Imara unpacks this dangerous new force in American politics with journalist Gil Duran. First, Gil traces the influence of Curtis Yarvin's extreme beliefs on Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and JD Vance.

"If Americans want to change their government, they're going to have to get over their dictator-phobia." That's neo-reactionary philosopher Curtis Yarvin in 2012, when he outlined a strategy that's eerily similar to how Trump and Musk are now destroying our government.  The "dark enlightenment" blogger, long a transgressive darling of the New Right, has in the last two months enjoyed a fresh round of mainstream exposure.

How do we fight back against the broligarchs? Journalist Gil Durán, of the must-read newsletters Nerd Reich and FrameLab, shows the way, in this week's Gaslit Nation.    Jean-Paul Sartre's famous line, “Hell is other people,” from his play No Exit, written in Nazi-occupied France, captured a grievance that mirrored the era's ideological clashes—fascism, communism, and isolationism, often overlapping and competing, fueling Stalin's genocides, the Holocaust, and World War II. The solution to sharing society with others, it seemed, was elimination: kill them.    This is why democracies rely on tolerance—you don't have to like my existence, but you must let me exist in peace. Yet today's tech oligarchs, having amassed unimaginable wealth, would rather invest billions in creating tech colonies and new religions to justify mass murder, enslavement, and C.E.O. king fiefdoms than address world hunger, provide free education, and strengthen social safety nets. Their vision isn't coexistence—they're building an anti-empathy billionaire bunker cult.    Gil Durán, a San Francisco journalist and former editorial page editor of The Sacramento Bee and The San Francisco Examiner, has a front-row view of the rise of the broligarchs, analyzing their fascist justifications for cruelty in his popular newsletter, Nerd Reich. Durán spent over a decade in California politics, serving as chief communications strategist for Governor Jerry Brown, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Attorney General Kamala Harris. His work has appeared in The New Republic, Esquire, and PBS. He co-founded Framelab, a newsletter on politics, language, and the brain, with Dr. George Lakoff. Most importantly we discuss: how do we defeat the Nerd Reich and the Vichy Democrats?    This week's bonus for our Patreon subscribers at the Truth-teller level and higher continues with Gil Durán of Nerd Reich, examining Democratic leaders as controlled opposition—public allies secretly serving the oligarchs.
