Backyardism feat. AmyeC3

Backyardism feat. AmyeC3

Streamer and housing activist AmyeC3 joins the boys (@djtomhanks & @_TonyWestside) for a long talk about housing, activism, and online political subcultures. 

  • She gives us her origin story and we compare it to Tony's journey away from centrism, trading insights about deprogramming liberals
  • We touch on the wisdom and timelessness of the immortal science of Marxism, and praise our nuanced takes on ideological labels
  • We consider impediments to decommodifying housing, and the ways COVID is tied into the problems plaguing our cities
  • Normalizing America's brutal perspective on land/property ownership
  • NIMBYism and Landlord Radicals 
  • Gentrification
  • College Snobs
  • Our Favorite Conspiracy Theories

There's obviously much more, and hit up our Patreon for part 2 of the conversation later this week where we go into depth about the nitty gritty housing problems plaguing the country, Amy's substack, and the villainous Debate Bros poisoning online politics. Our conversation was so great we decided to make it a weekly workshop on legal problems facing tenants around the country. Join us for FIRE every Wednesday night on Amy's stream at 10pm eastern. When that's over, you can join Matt & Tony every night around 11:30 est at the Unelectable Airwaves twitch stream where we talk about overthrowing governments, hating the cia, and achieving star trek communism. twitch.tv/UnelectableAirwaves

Matt Binder (@MattBinder) joins the stream and the boys sit down for a nice long convo about the infrastructure boondoggle, electoral strategies, parent stuff, Peter Thiel $, Youtube's evolution, Twitch chads, punk rock chuds(lol), conspiracy theorists vs. oppo research, dum dums across the aisle, and the poor kids looking to streamers for father figures. Oh yeah: and Tony spends 15 minutes defending cryptocurrency.

Kitesurfing to Oblivion w/ Owen Symes

Kitesurfing to Oblivion w/ Owen Symes

Matt (@djtomhanks) and Tony (@Tony_Westside) sit down with Owen Symes (@Owen_Symes)  to discuss his book about the Obama years, Our Man In Washington.  We go over some of the highs and lows on both the foreign policy and domestic agenda, as well as the lessons the left should take away from these critical 8 years.  Was it all a cynical deployment of 'hope & change' rhetoric for weary Americans, or did Barry run up against very real material constraints on implementing a progressive program in the US?
There's also some insights about salvaging the country before climate change further wrecks our social fabric, and a discussion of the progress we've made since 2008.

All the Statues Are Now Tom Delonge

All the Statues Are Now Tom Delonge

The long-awaited Congressional Report on UFOs has dropped. Luckily, Matt & Tony are back to review the document and talk all things aliens and flying saucers with guest researcher Michael Weinstein (@fToRrEeEsSt) .

-What kind of data does it contain?
-Have we been leapfrogged by another country?
-Is it an op? If so, what kind?
-Is it about funding for space force?
-Why are the skeptics so butthurt?
-Lost civilizations? Lizard people? Mothman?
-Is it aliens? Seriously? What the hell are they doing here? What would alien contact mean for geopolitics?
-Why is Mick West acting in such bad faith?
-Who is Jack Sarfatti?
-Was Roswell real? Why was Stanton Friedman right about everything?

We also go over spacetime metric engineering, the advanced physics that could explain what we're seeing. Then we talk about possible breakthroughs that could be taking advantage of them, and how the technology would shape our future.

The Joke Is On Someone That Is Not Me w/ Alex Ptak

The Joke Is On Someone That Is Not Me w/ Alex Ptak

Alex Ptak (@PtakJokes) comes by the stream and we discuss the cringefest inauguration and early days of the Delaware restoration. We then get into a long talk about aliens, ghosts, CIA weirdness, and the state of conspiracies post Q riots. Alex tells some jokes and we watch some of his clips as he regales us with tales of his early days in comedy and podcasting.
Then, we (TW) delve into the #FRAUDSQUAD and #FRAUDPOD phenomena, giving our nuanced and accurate opinions on vote forcing and whatnot. We segue into our memories from the Bernie campaign, and give our takes on what will become of the legendary coalition. Finally, we plot a course for the modern, sophisticated left wing activist in our neoliberal hellworld.

Money Laundered American Dreams

Money Laundered American Dreams

We welcome Nia Cole (@_Cola_Splash) to help us finish up talking  about the Bay of Chuds. We discuss possible outcomes: Patriot Act 2.0? Censorship on MSM and permabans online? But how will the Dems turn this into a loss?

Then we pick Nia's brain for a discussion of MMT and try to figure out our options for gaming the deep state and bankers. What happens if the dollar is no longer reserve currency? What's up with Bitcoin's bubble? Can we outlaw billionaires?

Ted Talks: Luxury Space Comms vs. AnPrims

Ted Talks: Luxury Space Comms vs. AnPrims

Everything you ever wanted to know about Ted 'the Unabomber' Kaczynski, and frankly probably a lot more you never thought about. We're joined by returning guest Tom Mahoney (@PsychAnarch) to break down Ted's ideology, his motives, his activities, and his legacy.
Then, we use Ted's work as a jumping off point to discuss competing visions for a post-capitalist future. Matt (@djtomhanks) argues for the Star Trek fully automated luxury space communism path, while Tom defends the honor of the anti-tech Anarcho Primitivists. We get into scarcity, oligarchy, propaganda, technology, misanthropy, plagues, panopticons, and all your favorite utopian concepts and dystopian motifs.

Serial Killing? In This Economy? (w/ Maria Guido)

Serial Killing? In This Economy? (w/ Maria Guido)

Maria Guido (@Sandernista412) from @WorstWeekYet podcast returns for a special episode where we journey deep into the heart of the American serial killer. We try to find the common elements of their lives, and figure out what makes them kill. Why are almost all of the victims regular working class folx? Why haven't more killers sought to redress capitalist exploitation?

We cover Edmund Kemper, Ted Bundy, BTK Killer, John Wayne Gacy, Jeffrey Dahmer, and the Nightstalker himself, Richard Ramirez.

The Real Mandela Effect w/ Ed Opperman

The Real Mandela Effect w/ Ed Opperman

We're joined by legendary investigator and radio host Ed Opperman (@oppermanreport) to discuss his life digging into the empire's dirt. We find out a bit about his early days with the NYC yippies, and discuss how that led to his career. Ed gives us a rundown of the ideological split in the conspiracy research camps, and the ways the efforts have evolved since he got involved.
We follow up with a discussion of COINTELPRO, and speculate on how it might be utilized in modern activist circles. With big money involved in our politics, many agents of empire are seeking to manufacture their own narratives and propagate them in media outlets. We give a nuanced summary of current developments on the American left and consider missteps as well as successes.
We then get to our thoughts on Trump's declassifications and the UFO videos, and what that has to do with the ongoing hysteria re: the election. We theorize on what this means for the American empire's dependence on the MIC.
We finish up with Ed's favorite topics, and get to his research on Hunter Biden's laptop and the elite blackmail racket. Check out Ed's website and listen to his show on Spreaker.

Join us for a long stream about monoliths, vampires, UFOs, and phantom time pax Romana conspiracies, as well as some of our favorite sci-fi and horror books, movies, and TV, and figure out how the based anticapitalist sentiment will be co-opted by the ruling class. Next we discuss Neera Tanden and Boe Jiden's cabinet's ghoul to progressive ratio, determining it's not great but may have some silver linings.

We also manage to chat about the early incarnations of today's internet, as well as the superhero movie reviewers and subcultural divisions that have formed since those heady days last decade. We touch on starting beef vs. building chud coalitions like a Greenwald, the Tumblrification of everything, weaponization of everything else, and even demonstrate how to handle old tweets like a Chad Matt.

Enjoy the episode and join us on Twitch.tv/UnelectableAirwaves at 11pm (est) nightly for the based tonight show, where we go over the day's events, simp for AOC, and dunk on people that deserve it.

She gives us some insight into what the new administration will mean for young people in state custody, and teens trying to stay out of the school to prison pipeline. Maria gives us her plan for leftists to focus on local District Attorney races to affect the most change bang for your buck, and talks about opportunities to revamp local politics.

We also preview Maria's podcast Worst Week Yet (@WorstWeekYet) and wrap up election discourse with some conjectures about angry chuds in Western PA, Trump's potential pardons, and other assorted crank activities in the final days of the MAGA White House.

We're joined by @MSDNC mastermind Hunter Penn (@hunter_penn_h) to discuss censorship, poll watchers, presidential retweets, and the art of political memes. He gives his thoughts on other famous Hunters, as well as his experiences on the ground in Minneapolis during this summer's precinct-torching George Floyd protests. We also follow up on his city's efforts to defund the local police, and how Ilhan Omar fits into Minnesota politics. We finish up with a conversation about the upcoming election and walk through some best case scenarios for the left's future.

Apologies for the sound levels. The interview took place on our Periscope stream and we are slackers that forgot to check the levels. We tried to fix it in post with some compression magic, but Matt (@djtomhanks) still sounds like he's trapped in Tony's (@_TonyWestside) basement. And while we're apologizing, sorry there was no episode last week-some guests fell through and we streamed every night instead. We're working on a best of livestreams episode, so check back later this week for more content.

Masked Florida Man Throws Shoe

Matt (@djtomhanks) and Tony (@tonywestside088) catch up with Florida activist and ex-Bernie staffer Thomas Kennedy (@tomaskenn) about his recent experiences advocating for a responsible Coronavirus response, and owning Ron DeSantis really hard. Will the culture war doom residents of the American Riviera?

Then we relive our experiences on the Bernie campaign and discuss what worked, and what needs to be reconsidered moving forward. Are we optimistic about the left's prospects in national politics?

We briefly touch on the struggles of undocumented immigrants in the pandemic, and the dystopian power moves going on with DHS, CBP, and ICE. What's up with the secret police?

Afterwards, we pay tribute to Michael Brooks and consider his legacy with the American and International left.

@djtomhanks and @tonywestside088 do a history thing, talking Juneteenth, the 13th Amendment, and how America screwed up Reconstruction.   

Then we nicely segue into the Coronarally in Tulsa, and how lame it must be to lose to Joe 'No Vibin' Biden. This leads to a discussion of whether white supremacy is waxing or waning in the imperial core, and whether boomers can be further victimized by the right's new culture war villains.

Also are statutes a psyop?

Pandemicemonium w/ guest Psycho Neoliberal Tom

On our last pre-revolt episode, @djtomhanks and @tonywestside088  have an aborted interview with Zerzan acolyte and legend of the hardcore scene, Psycho Tommy McHoohaa. Turns out, he's an anarcho-liberal. To hear the rest of our talk, check out his new pod Hard Nukes Only.

After he takes off, we complain about Biden, Central Park Karens, and the mandatory vaccine crowd for a while.

We also have a nice conversation about leftist psyops and MKUltra communes in there somewhere.

Bonus: Texas Delegate Hijinx

We talk with El Paso organizer and Bernie delegate JC Tirado about his work on the Texas Democratic Convention and ask the question that's on everyone's lips: why are Biden supporters so incredibly toxic and privileged? Then we look ahead at the future of DSA and the left in the Southwest.  
Hit us up and weigh in on the new name. @djtomhanks and @tonywestside088

We Need to Make People Understand that Nobody Cares About Them

We Need to Make People Understand that Nobody Cares About Them

We discuss post-Bernie goals for the left: 

Then we discuss the future of the Democrats: they're doing a lousy job even pretending to give a damn about working people. Not only are they failing at the low bar of protecting the hard fought concessions we've wrested away from the elites, they're complicit in ushering in our new disaster capitalist reality. So @djtomhanks is confused about why anyone even signs up to play for the #BlueMAGA team. Can @tonywestside088 explain it?

"It's an easy call: Re-open the health care exchanges."

@djtomhanks and @tonywestside088 talk about the best ways to keep essential workers from organizing, and weigh in on whether employers should provide hand sanitizer during the pandemic.

We game out some recovery options and try to figure out what the hell the neoliberal establishment will try next.

@djtomhanks and @tonywestside088 got the rona...on our minds. But so does Joe Biden.  Or at least we think he has it on his mind.  Or what's left of his mind?  Idk, is he gonna make it?  Why is he hiding? 

Will America see Bernie's real leadership on display and implement his decisive and forward-looking recovery plans?
