The Anarchists Ep. 5: Go die in a f****** hole b**** (preview)
2019 is a complicated year for Anarchapulco. A person just got murdered, another one was nearly killed, and people will *not* stop gossiping about it. Chill out, people. Let's get this freedom. Nathan and Lisa discover the limits of a free market while on someone else's private property, and for some reason can't seem to shake all the hierarchy within anarcho-capitalism. Finally: we say farewell to a true warrior, and the documentary itself turns against Jeff Berwick in a devastating way Help us do the show for only $3.11/month at http://patreon.com/miniondeathcult and get a bonus episode every week, as well as instant access to hundreds of hours of previous bonus content, directly in your podcast app or browser
And then Thad starts trying to shame people from the stage into quote, like, giving Lily help, which I'm not sure what that means.
Um, yep.
Inviting her onto your podcast, I guess, is how you can offer material support to Lily.
Um, he's shaming them and he's like, come on people!
I thought we were a crypto community!
Which again, just made me fucking die.
Because what sucked is, I think this poor guy found success in this, right?
So I think he really thought that if shit hit the fan, he would be able to rely on his community, and then he saw all the people he looked up to not get help, and he's not!
Giving any like actionable suggestions here.
He's not helping really at all.
He's just shaming, which is a common problem.
A lot of people do that.
Let's be real.
Um, but yeah, it, he means it.
He really mean he, he looks genuinely upset.
He, he looks like he really is like kind of brokenhearted, which I don't feel bad for him.
It's just, it's just funny.
It's just like, fuck man.
You really thought you really fucking thought that's, sad dude yeah well he's okay so he's a youtuber right he's a youtuber with his own like online libertarian university right yeah so he's not He's bad that.
He's not doing activism.
He's still a fucking capitalist.
Yeah.
He's still a businessman or whatever, but he also happens to be maybe a true believer.
But it's like, just like we've been trying to tell Lily and John, the thing you believe in that you're, you know, that you're actually serious about, unlike Jeff and Nathan and Lisa, It doesn't exist.
Like Nathan and Lisa and Jeff are smart enough to get out of this belief system what is actually available, which is the accumulation of wealth.
You're interested in a part of the system, a part of the politics, that's fake!
That's like a thin veneer to try and pretend like you're not a sociopath for pursuing this system.
Yeah, I mean, because you're not acknowledging the giant thing that is the capitalism, because you really thought that, like, community was, like... No, man, I... Don't you remember when I gave you fucking two-for-one firecrackers the other day?
They were your favorite.
They were dark chocolate pretzels, and they were heavy grams.
I gave you three extras.
I didn't charge you, and now you won't let me live with you.
Like, you're supposed to just let me live with you.
Like, if I have it, it's yours, but if you have it, it's not mine.
That's pretty fucked up, dude.
Thad also tells us solemnly, it's very easy to escape governments, banks, and states if you're already a Bitcoin millionaire.
If you're like John and Lily, you got no resources, nothing.
It's hard, turns out, and dangerous, in fact, to be an anarchist in Mexico.
What's that word that he's trying, that he's like skating around?
There's a word there.
I'm not, I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
Cause like he's, this is, it's hard to parse out because this is the most real anyone's been in this entire thing.
And it's like, you know, I like almost, I'm just kind of a little bit grateful for this moment, even though it's definitely, you know, super tainted and weird, but like, yeah, this is the, this is the most real anyone's been in this whole thing.
Well, you're saying people with more financial resources have an easier time in life.
Whoa, that's crazy.
And you're saying people with, with zero resources have a hard time?
What the heck?
I thought that they could just create.
I thought that they could just use their brains to create food and shelter for themselves.
Yeah.
Well, and then, uh, yeah.
Cause that's not how it works.
Unfortunately.
Right.
It was just like this whole capitalism thing.
Um, which I love how it goes from that example to the next example, which is like from this, like they're running for their lives because of this.
And the next example is, uh, you can't set up your table for bootleg shirts here.
Oh my god, well before we get into this, I just love this idea.
It turns out it's easy to... He literally says it's very easy to escape governments, banks, and states if you're a Bitcoin millionaire.
Yeah, no shit, man!
Duh!
It's almost like the rules don't exist for wealthy people!
It's almost like the government that you're complaining about doesn't lay a finger on you if you're a fucking millionaire.
It's almost like the banks work for you if you're a millionaire.
