In this spiritual followup to our previous episode on Charter Cities, we get a glimpse at Galt’s Gulch Chile. We investigate how a farming community built on Ayn Rand’s principles fell into a freaky web of lawsuits, arrests, freaks, pencil mustaches, and a shooting at a Chilean protest by an American YouTube economist in a yellow vest.

Show Brace is in on 8/29 in NYC

Yayyyyyt

Quinn Slobodian's Crack-Up Capitalism is an entertaining book about libertarian communities (or rather the attempt, and subsequent failure, to establish them). Raymond Craib's Adventure Capitalism is a another great read about the same subject.

Jaime Christley

always astonished that so many people devote their whole thing to Atlas Shrugged. I made it about halfway through and got so fucking annoyed with its bullshit I threw the book in the trash. Gary Cooper is very hot in the Fountainhead movie tho

MurseInDaPurse

I love thursdays and I love liz brace and yungchompathan who live in my phone ❤️

Michael S. Judge

so you're buying Marianne Williamson some crystal lasers and so forth

Mark Owen

Brace in the zoot suit with the reet pleat, drape shape and dup cuff.

Jack

shout out Yung Chomsky with the wet hot American summer first day of camp zoot suit drop

Mark Owen

you're the misplaced Chilean executive Brace sees, heavily advertised

Johnny B

You had me at "built on Ayn Rand’s principles"

Dick Waglin

Woman... Wo man... whooooooooaaaa man...

Jaime Christley

baby there is a Bitcoin ATM at the JFK Airport 7-Eleven/Qdoba/Wendy's/Sunoco/Tesla charging station travel stop, at least as far back as 2017

sir peepus

the only gulch I care about is Blood Gulch

Jaime Christley

you needed to be on the scene for those pronunciations

Jaime Christley

“They’re all scamming each other” - in a nutshell that’s how brazenly transparent and flimsy scams “succeed”, or at least, get the suckers in: if you think YOU’RE the one pulling off the long con, you believe you’re immune. a circular fraud squad.

Jaime Christley

come to think of it that also explains the Bitcoin and NFT waves. everyone thinks they got in early and will sell when the price blows up, and 99.9% of them end up losing their shirts

rough trade isn't an activity it's a type of person

Demented Avenger

Mario is just fucking baller. The guy scams a scammer with an ungodly obvious scam that nobody with pubes (meaning, only a libertarian's boyfriend/girlfriend) would fall for.

deranged hermit

When I lived in Utah there was a bitcoin atm at a comic/game store I hung out at sometimes. The only people I ever saw use it were sex workers (obviously withdrawing the bitcoin they were being paid in by their Mormon patrons)

Jaime Christley

This story plays out like one of the SORCERER prologues. (RIP Billy Friedkin)

Char Kelly

If Brace is allowed to get Liz bongos, then Liz is ENTITLED to get Brace a zoot suit. Sorry, thems the rules.

zo

I can’t keep pretending to know what “Lindy” means

Jaime Christley

"Lindy walk": what Rumsfeld went on shortly before Flight 77 hit the Pentagon

gulch great band

kat

used to be a bitcoin ATM in the back of a now closed coffee shop/bar in austin, tx by the name of spiderhouse. once saw a man put $2000 cash into it in probably 2016 or 2017. it was absolutely for drugs.

mexicanhalloween .

so charter cities are just repeating the utopian communities of the 1800s, first as tragedy, now as farce

Chris Ryan

There was one in my favorite liquor store in Campbell, CA and people used to break in at night specifically so as to saw that thing open

Zzz

I went my whole life not knowing that a certain outfit is called a “Zoot Suit”. Thanks TrueAnon

Char Kelly

This seriously did have Utah series energy. Which I’d LOVE to get an update on those freaks

Petrorenminbi

The solemn gong after Wendy’s tree has me howling

AfroCommie

Brace, come to London please

ggmacd

This show should partner with a team of statisticians and come up with a measure of what country's got the most freaks. I need to know how close the freaks per capita measure is to 1 in the good ol US of A because from listening to this show I can only assume it's like 0.9999 freaks per capita over there. I need to know the trade balance of freaks flowing to/from the US. I want a heat map of their geographic dispersal. I want a Freak Index to show me how various freak-related and -adjacent stocks are doing.

Great Return of the Coindexter

Eric

I’d like to hear you guys do an episode on El Salvador and The Central African Republic’s bitcoin adoption, and you know, how that’s all going.

Major bit me

Maybe, but EROI is definitely not a myth

buttface

really difficult to pay attention the whole time

Kristen

We need a curse update? Where’d it go!

Degrassi Knoll

I'll give you an acre of land if you can say Galts Gulch 3x in a row.

Graham Hoese

Please make charts with photos that I can print, laminate, and hold while listening to future episodes with lots of names and subjects. Thank you.

Jimothy Realname

makes way more sense than that "fossil" nonsense

Jenny K

As a radical leftist I have say despite it being an obvious vehicle for post ww2 style anarcho capitalism atlas shrugged is a very entertaining and interesting read. At its root its really just dystopian science fiction that didn't get the assignment.

Shiv

“It’s almost faaaaalllllll!” how I’m gonna beg my friends to don their zoot suits from now own

Shiv

own??? on

Shiv

i thought the same

Shiv

if you’re innocent to UK freaks I can happily recommend Trashfuture

Hank

Trashfuture both makes me laugh at the absurdity of it all, but also makes me sad for making me realise how full of freaks my country has...

Doug Cartel

please tell me someone was stupid enough to make a virtual currency called the Confederate Dollar

Doug Cartel

oh my god imagine calling a legal distinction designed to enrich the ruling class a 'quirk'

mario why

my name is Mario and I’m from phx lol this ep hit different

Sneakaboard

hard disagree, i think its boring and annoying

Sneakaboard

thats why people should freak out about peak phosphorous instead

Brita

Pain machine ❓⁉️

P Chezani

Oh god, I thought that opening thing was Liz doing a fun bit. But no, Tatiana Moroz is real and the bitcoin jingle is real. These people satirize themselves.

Andrew Bates

wtf is the deal with the RSS lately?

TrueAnonPod

It is in fact the subject of an entire series of classico trueanon episodes

TrueAnonPod

Back in my day we just called it Marriage

TrueAnonPod

Curse update? What gives you the right to know how my marriage is doing?

TrueAnonPod

No I have it locked ina b ox. I was given the all clear by an experimental jazz musician.

Real Shady Shit? Not sure. Maybe ask my wife.

The last few episodes of the anarchist are gnnnaaarrrrlllyyyyy

Katerina

Haven't missed an episode yet. Just love listening to you guys! Thank you!

Sean Carton

Inspiring! In fact, so inspiring that Claire (the other Commissar in our Patreon Sharing Collective) demanded that I share this look into one likely scenario about a future Mars-based Utopia founded by some very awesome billionaires (and one ex-girlfriend). https://youtu.be/WnAuIeg2oc0?si=KQueIVhxFhs7Abyu

Maya Sarder

Anyone else wake up to Brace’s version of Holy Diver stuck in their head..?

Rj

First time, long time: very funny to hear the link to the very bad HBO doc The Anarchists, Brace accuse the guy of being an obvious alcoholic, and then say "I haven't seen the end" when they guy drinks himself to death lmao

xannie mae

reference to the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, the dysfunctional month-long occupation protest that popped up in Seattle during the larger national George Floyd protests

Sneakaboard

Its very annoyinf when people say there was a 'shootinf at CHAZ' because there was just a shooting in the same neighborhood and there were fewer shootings in the neighborhood and the whole city during the time CHAZ was going on than during the same period for years prior. CHAZ was dumb, and corny, and a mess, and extremely annoying, but it didnt kill anyone or lead to violence which is a narrative thay gets pushed here locally all the time.

Sneakaboard

Sorry to be clear I don't think anyone said that, but its something that people say here, including the self identified 'radical', in WA all the time and it makes me insane.

Pain Machine changed their name to "A Wife" after completely dominating the thrash/groove/blackened nu-death scene of mid-2000s Dithmarschen, Schleswig-Holstein

Brace I luv y but the small caliber bouncing around in the skull thing is boomer mythology.

On some OG shit

ch

it is genuinely hilarious that the "brand" name of the clothes at Brandy Melville is called John Galt
