Wokal Distance AKA Michael Young is a cultural researcher at the Center for Renewing America.

We discuss the history of American culture and counterculture—specifically how the cycle of commodified non-conformity is used to control the masses and expand the very capitalism that its proponents (originally the Critical Theorists) sought to undermine. Also, where does this leave the “ascendant” cultural right? If it’s all just a cycle of faux rebellion, where is there to ascend to?

The books discussed are The Rebel Sell by Andrew Heath and Joseph Potter, and The Conquest of Cool by Thomas Frank.

Talking movies and culture with the best film reviewer in the game, Jack Mason host of The Perfume Nationalist podcast which pairs a perfume with a work of art, usually a movie or book, and reviews them both concurrently.

We cover his fantastic reviews of Terrifier 3, Nosferatu, and Red Rooms, as well as male/female dynamics in the creation of art, the restriction of male sexuality, and also the three years he spent as a copy editor of female romance/lust novels in the vein of 50 Shades of Gray.

My understanding of USAID was my original red pill, and came as a result of reading Confessions of an Economic Hitman while working as a legal intern at a M&A law firm in Vietnam.

This is a solo episode of The Carousel discussing USAID, patronage networks, and the new Government NGO Tracker, which is being widely misinterpreted and mis-used to falsely accuse people like Richard Hanania and Christopher Rufo of being USAID recipients (certainly not defending Hanania, and I think he probably is compromised in some way, but still I’m going to be loyal to the truth).

Ultimately, I believe the greatest evil of USAID-style patronage is the vast astroturfing, and thus destruction, of art, as seen on display in this viral video involving comic Natalie Cuomo. Listen to episode for full discussion!
