Thank you. I was having a bad case of the Mondays until I got the Trueanon patreon notification

JJ

this isn’t an adult baby episode 🫤

Demented Avenger

Libertarian exit? So that’s what happened to all the preteens?

original gay pussy eatah

Brace owes me money for the podcasting studio/gun range/smoking allowed haberdashery I built for him in my gulch

aarinsanity

Kind of going through the TrueAnon libertarian archives right now. Fascinating deep dives! Just finished the series on Colonia Dignidad!

aarinsanity

I love libertarianism as a personal philosophy but for the collective it’s laughable and harmful!

Ed Carney

Libertarians are adult babies

Vampire vice

Thank God I've recently been encountering libertarians and idek how to experience them

Demented Avenger

Libertarians date babies. They make Epstein look like he’s chasing MILFs

Karl Childers

i can't hear the title of the ballard book the guest recommends at the end, sounds like SuperKahn or something? would love to know what book he's actually referring to.

BryceSprungstein

Libertarianism? Finally, we're back to catching pedophiles

Karl Childers

awesome, that would make sense, thank you

aficionado

i thought the name of the place was “My Gulch”

aficionado

particularly good ep today

pulled a muscle yearning

First they came for the podcasters, and I didn't say anything because I didn't have a podcast. But thanks to shout engine now everyone...

cstenzy

Didn't realize how much Bioshock/Rapture was directly taken from Atlas Shrugged and actual attempts at libertarian societies before these episodes lol

Begginstrip

This is my favorite cold open podcast.

Aaron Snelling

Anybody know what the name of that writer was when he was talking about platforming at the end. Machnieu or something.

TrueAnonPod

Nestor Makhno, I believe about platformism

April

Brace whispering is freaking me out so much I feel like I'm listening to the daily or something😭 (I've never listened to the daily)

Shiv

Thanks to Liz I had to look up ol, Grover Cleveland who may not hold on to this stat much longer, “Cleveland is the only president in U.S. history to serve non-consecutive presidential terms.” (the middle dude answer is Benjamin Harrison which is apparently a President we had)

archipelago_go

Super-Cannes one of the most harrowing things I’ve read. good stuff

Doug Cartel

Galt's Blood Gulch and you can only drive vehicles from HALO CE to work

jay alan

S/o coworking Brace

CJ

This is for Brace and NO ONE ELSE, do NOT look at this DO NOT yo playa are you doing icyp** in sf this weekend

Marcus

Brace out here dry snitching on his dad.

Gordon Schmidt

Jim Hougan talked about WerBell in his book Spooks. You really should reach out to him one of these days, it's be great if you had him on.

Nick

Sounds like Brace didn't have the placemat with all the presidents as a kid :-/

Demented Avenger

That's not a real name for a President. It's a placeholder name, like "John Doe" for dead bodies and stuff.

Kelson

Brace and Liz need to do a libertarian version of Gangster's Paradise. "I've been spending all my life trying to create a Libertarian paradise". Then just put it out into the world with no explanation and see if they start unironically using it.

TrueAnonPod

I had one with all the states and I think a world map one which is how come I'm so good at geography...

TowerofOil

Dr. Bra-smr BaBeldin

Parochial Nimrod

So is this stuff leading up to a burning man miniseries or what

Doug Cartel

That point about trying to use suburban homeownership to force people to become capitalists is something I kind of figured must have played a part in the development of the suburbs after 1945, but whether that's true or if libertarian psychos came up with that idea after the fact is a mystery to me

OtherRussert

JFC that New Hebrides split is The City and The City level wackiness!

Will Elliot

Brace looking himself on the mirror on this one

mario why

Anyone have a good entrance read to Ballard?

Char Kelly

We’ve gotten so many mentions of wild stories and little scoops that an episode with Brace’s dad seems necessary

Cam C

Wait… I read Altas Shrugged and Infinite Jest and I’m not a professor?! Wtf have I done with my life!?

K H

Brace was escorted to his economic activity zone by a comrade at the workers international cooperative.

K H

As a kid I put my beers down right on the counter. So I'm good at freehand drawing circles.

K H

Probably not far off. They may have designed their marketing material in the Halo Forge level maker.

K H

I can't click the link(parental controls) but I am appreciate a Metalokalypse references.

NYCM&AHole

The link is just the song “go into the water”. An under appreciated show that I’m glad they finished off with the film, even if it took 10 years.

punkademic

Is this Brace’s NPR voice?

Chris

If foster Wallace was so smart why'd he kill himself?

C

This guy seems cool as hell

Wes

Isn't this societal "exit" impulse common throughout the upper middle class they are just more limited in resources, the suburbanization and now exurbanization are just more individually feasible expressions of the same impulse.

Zach

would love to hear the Hinckle + dad + rental car story !

Ossiferous

I Feel Like Black Luigi

Joseph Belden

Hinckle rented a car that he couldn't afford to pay for. So he invited a bunch of people to one of the south of Market piers and ceremoniously pushed it into the Bay. Then he reported it stolen. As far as I know he got away with it. Statute of limitations has expired and unfortunately so has Warren.

Zach

Thank you!!!!!!!! I never knew Hinckle but I was working at Last Gasp when he died. there were alot of stories

T

I think the piece about escape and recreation of the most ballardian aspects of our society is spot on. I think it’s because, for them, they aren’t able to create a competing ideology with the current state of things (they’re rebellious in a childlike way), instead they embrace the state but only in the ways they feel supported by. so they dial up the aspects of society that have “worked” for them, and have idealized them because they’re the only aspects of society that they don’t feel rejected by. I think the rejection before being rejected and freudian aspects of their libertarian fantasies are under spoken about outside of trueanon

OG original genghis

They start the episode talking about how Donald trump’s mugshot was an event that people will remember for 100 years, but listening to this 3 years later, I had no idea what they were referring to
