Ep. 65: TOWN BIZ Live! From Kushington feat. @chebizarro

1 hour 1 minute

Poolhouse met up with friend of the show Biz in downtown Oakland, which for some reason Poolhouse insists on calling by its “colonial name”(?), Kushington (??). After catching up over drinks, this spunky duo was unleashed on the streets in front of historic City Hall, the actual birthplace of Kamala Harris (???). Armed with a microphone, Poolhouse and Biz captured this irreverent conversation, Gonzo-style, for the benefit of backklashistas worldwide.

Shout out Tarq of the Void for tipping Poolhouse off to this fascinating article, The Left Has An Authoritarian Problem (But Doesn’t Know It), which becomes the initial backdrop for this electric episode’s discussion. Biz draws upon his experience and wisdom to offer insights on the current landscape of “dissident” politics, providing clarity on a number of contemporary currents.

Why is the e-right so obsessed with Bukele, and what is all of the interest in over central America really about? Is libertarian fascism the final boss of technocracy? Is forensic science real? And what the fuck is Urbit, and why on earth does Lomez so inexplicably invested in its success?

Get ready, this megawatt-powered backklash episode is coming at you in a mile a minute, bursting at the seams with piss and vigor. Come for Biz’s demystifying analysis, stay for Poolhouse’s savage Peter Thiel takes, as they come to you ALL THE WAY LIVE from nitty gritty city streets of The Town.
