284・What If All the Bad Things Were Good Things Instead?

[ ♪ The Beach Boys' "Wouldn't It Be Nice" ♪ ] Back with another one, we circle the drain with some of The Newz (some embarRICEment and all still mostly quite bad), briefly exploring Josh's own week of manospheric self-improvement (stay tuned for more!), and eventually reaching a discussion about the documentary Louis Theroux: The Manosphere, causing us to wonder: Why is this still relevant? What year is this? Who are these people? Do they actually like sex, even a little? Do they enjoy anything? Is this any different from any other snake oil sales associate kind of scheme from the dawn of mammalian resource hoarding? Which of these guys is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost? And why can't we harness nihilistic grifter energy for good? Why so much bad and not so much good, huh?Recorded on Saturday, March 21st, 2569 around 11.00 AM Korea Standard Time. Commiserate on Discord: discord.gg/aDf4Yv9PrYNever Forget: standwithdanielhale.orgGenral RecommendationsJosh's Recommendations: 1) A Different World (plus an exhaustive LLM-generated response to my question about the strange half-remembered sensation about the show and its cultural legacy) and 2) Ben Norton | Oil war: US war on Iran aims to save petrodollar and global dollar dominanceTim's Recommendation: None (Editor's note: but here's the upside to nothingness)Further Reading, Viewing, ListeningShow notes + Full list of links, sources, etcEternal thanks to Rm Brown ("King of the Soundboard")More From Timothy Robert BuechnerPodcast: Q&T ARE / violentpeople.co Tweets: @ROHDUTCHLocationless Locationsheatdeathpod.comEvery show-related link is corralled and available here.Twitter: @heatdeathpodPlease send all Letters of Derision, Indifference, Inquiry, Mild Elation, et cetera to: [email protected] us Fan MailSupport the showSupport: patreon / buzzsprout
