We’re joined by special investigator Brace Belden to look into the increasingly bizarre saga of the Black Hammer group, which recently made news as subject of a police raid, a suspicious death among their group members, criminal accusations against their leader, and now accusations of being part of a foreign influence operation. We discuss all this as well as the political value of Being Normal.

My buddy is a gay Russian who moved to the states in 2018. Bro became an American Maoist & became so mentally ill while joining multiple cults. He would probably be better just being an incognito gay back in the Родина в Москва, compared to living in the US at this point

Decolonization to me means white people should go back to Europe, but only the Anglos and Germanic

My best friend Brace on the episode! Yaay

Bob Duvall

Great stuff. Still no clue what this is about

PrinceVocalFry

I saw a guy at a brewery in Minneapolis wearing a shirt that said "De-colonize Bike Lanes" in like 2017. Incredible.

Rorie

Damn, he made it to 71 before they whacked him.

Rorie

Isn't there footage of him hanging around with separatists in Donetsk/Luhansk?

Evan Scott

Beside liz's 'radical swing voter' concept I feel like there's another person who tries way too hard to be "normal" has completely unhinged ideas of what that entails and that person becomes like a patsoc/cpi/infrared type

etienne

you know what's the most praxis thing? listening, stanning, and simping chapo

etienne

felix decolonizing america would require him to move to israel. im sorry it's just praxis

Last week I 'saved' (was a human to) a woman at the ranch I work on. She had her hip broken by a wild horse. As thanks, she and her daughter took me to the play 'Helltown' -it was wonderful, however, I had forgotten the casual snobbishness and competitiveness of the upper crust, it was kinda humiliating. I've been a communist since I was eight. I do not care about 'privilege'- they're fine. I care about those left behind. Love your brother, respect your sister, stop being children

Doug Cartel

Hammer town, CO? within 500 miles of NORAD? sus

Doug Cartel

"decolonized Europe" is basically Nazitopia, where every Volk has their "Home" and a border guard and a wall etc etc Hypothetically, anyways, since they don't ever try to square that dream of walling off every Volk with the constant warfare and conquest they also crave to get rid of un-people

etienne

you ever heard of that guy Woodrow Wilson

Doug Cartel

Dont get me started on that freak and his childish simping for the confederacy

Doug Cartel

broke: white power woke: black power sproke: dual power

whoa whoa whoa felix what the fuck, "half the language is circles" is why Han-gul is cool

TangiePower

Invite the Trillbillies on to talk about their town and part-time focus of the podcast, Whitesburg Kentucky, getting obliterated by the floods. They’re apparently under some kind of quasi martial law Katrina-style but there’s little aid or national media coverage.

brodie

Going to Poland and showing them that they don't need to put screen doors on the submarine.

vermouth

i hate when you guys talk about online i want jokes about movies

etienne

did they airdrop chris kyle yet to keep tabs on the looters?

William Beamish

you movie fans cant always have your way. we want internet

M.R. Alchemist

Black Hammer is like zoomer Shining Path

Jim McKenna

I listened and it sounds fun, but I don’t know who they were taking about.

Jim McKenna

You can sneak in by walking backwards over the border. They’ll think you’re leaving.

Eric Wiley

Warzone is the only game I like lol

james

First the pink sauce ep now black hammer!?! I’m loving this racist chapo series!!

james

Brace knows nothing of the proud boys/black hammer saga? Poor research!! Proud boys took the UHURU phrase when they were “founded”

Dan

Read 'Settlers' so you can be normal like Maoist Third-Worldists.

Justin Kirkland

One of the top ten episodes without a doubt. I knew someone who left our union to join Black Hammer, and have followed the org out of curiosity since they seemed absolutely nuts. Brace’s insights about how leftists are attracted to weird people who say even weirder things, and the need to just be normal are on point

Dan

Surprised that Brace is crediting Black Hammer with any degree of ideological sincerity; the Truanon episode on Black Hammer mostly came to the conclusion that Gazi was a grifter who spent all of that reparations money on an upscale house, and was doing cynical social-media influencer style branding. The Russian stuff and the Proud Boy connection would seem to confirm that the ideological convictions of Black Hammer are subordinate to getting the bag.

T.A. Martin

Whenever I hear the word "praxis," I hear Allen Iverson in the back of my head going "Praxis? What are we talking about here? PRAXIS?"

blackFFillip

Stop trying to make Brace Belden happen. It’s not going to happen.

Jon

Brace has the exact same voice inflections as Stav

Dick Wolf

He was upset they were shitting on the only game he’s ever liked: Warzone

Yup

Be normal and riff with yer bros about Rod Dreher

Jackm

cool reference but sorry baby he's happening

blackFFillip

his delivery is great, but at the cost of never-interesting subjects

ceifeiro

It's so ironic to hear this warning against weirdo-ism coming from the TrueAnon guy. I knew someone who was quite humane, intelligent and well-informed. He, like me, also took an interest in political theory. We got on well, but I knew he was about to become extremely annoying when he name-dropped Brace Belden. I had a creepy hunch that he was aping the guy's shock-jock persona to seem cool. It truly was off-putting.

etienne

brace's ratio of shit he saw and went through vs how normal he comes off in absolute terms is pretty off the charts

Mark Schneider

How weird that they had a "woke" phase. I always thought Gavin McGinnnis' shtick was just "racist and misogynist jokes are just fun to trigger the Libs, but I might mean it and I might not, you'll never know"-- not as open about his own hatreds as, say, Milo

stop watcherman

Felix had that boy will rollin on this one

AKorgar

Homey True Anon is popping off

AKorgar

Read Settlers and combat the true class enemy, white people working at Wal-Mart

Dreyfus Affair 2.0

William

If you were trying to not be extremely annoying yourself, you failed miserably. Brace's jokes suck and need work but at least he's not an insufferable cunt like you are

William

This is a decent 6.5/10 for Chapo. I wouldn't go higher than 7 on it. Probably in the top 40 eps, maybe one of the top 30

William

They refer to it as a "communist" thing

Hugo

Everyone talking shit about brace can meet me out back so I can suck their dick. Brace rocks Dudes rock Uhuru

Bobi Jon-son Kenobi

If America were decolonized and I were to be bought back to Europe, I’d definitely go back to Germany

Joshua Garcia

Is it better to pretend not to be miserable due to all the known reasons and instead focus on small things to pass the days knowing nothing will get better and most people think you’re crazy for caring too much?

blackFFillip

all style, zero substance dumb joke that he’s an op, but now it’s the most logical explanation

blackFFillip

when you’re definitely not mad

blackFFillip

that’s a shame because I really like Liz

Anastasia

I feel like I remember the Channel 5 video with like NO ONE giving him money and it being so awkward

blackFFillip

Stav would devour him, and I would pay to witness it

Matt Crossin

Anarchism and food not bombs are mentioned though

Zach Lemon

Gazi? I know a Gazi. Ben Gazi.

etienne

I prefer Fu. Fu Gazi.

ceifeiro

He's pissed that I didn't like his Brace impression.

Dan Z

Russian guys name is Alexander Ivanov? I'm having a hard time finding info online

etienne

Nick Mullen present at a avant-garde fash movie shooting that turned into a ritual humiliation sesh against a critical journalist, Liz Bruenig nuking her twitter because of a abortion related meltdown, Glengarry Glen Greenwald attaching his train to Alex Jones, Matt Taibbi contiuing trying to pretend he can run a news magazine... really tough time for Chapo friends-of-the-show these days huh

justdave

Mr Million practices 'ritual humiliation' for shit posting a nazi? I'll believe that when I see it

etienne

I'm totally convinced that the filming of Transphobia Is Actually Funny: The Musical that Nick accidentally found himself in was actually incredibly funny, and that the presence of Curtis "mom I told you not to call me moldbug in front of my friends" Yarvin was completely accidental and that neither party was happy with the turn of events

Dr Nermal Funkenstein

Might become a ski bum for a few years because "saving for retirement" is a punchline

Laaren

You talk like time doesn't happen

etienne

oh they're smooth operators, they have a real spider sense for putting at least 12 months between themselves and someone who's about to become cringe. it's impressive. it's just that this week specifically has been pretty spectacular for the alumni.

Zarathushtra

I like the Seafarers expansion better.

J. Sakai outside the window like a sicko saying YESSSSS!

Going to Poland to tell the guy holding a car door to roll down the window because it's hot.

SF

who cares

SF

chapo patreon commenters really ought to listen to the advice brace offers at the end of this episode 👍

SF

Anarchism is a basically stupid infantile ideology so no-one really cares Matt.

Liam

etienne
