Terminal Empire Hallucinations feat. Mike Rothschild (E357)
Added 2026-01-28 04:13:03 +0000 UTCTravis and Jake are joined by journalist Mike Rothschild to discuss the second time that the federal government has killed someone in Minnesota then smeared them as a terrorist, the growing paranoia on the right that opposition to occupation by federal agents constitutes an “insurgency,” the White House manipulating photos using AI, Kash Patel treating the FBI like his personal Hype House, and alleged time travel by the late Charlie Kirk.

Jake, as a person who also has mental health issues, I completely understand you disision to not own a gun. There are so many more ways to support than just the armed resistance, in reality thats like 10-15%. There is so much need for coms, first aid, and support lines. I totally believe you could do any of those in your own community. You can help install a mesh network or many other things. Most of the revolution will be done by people without guns.

2026-02-11 20:34:53 +0000 UTCIt’s very refreshing to hear Jake talk about feeling radicalized by all of this. I feel it every day.

2026-02-06 03:09:00 +0000 UTC"Replace ICE agents with occupying coalition forces and the structure maps perfectly" "I spent years dismantling this kind of apparatus, now pieces of it are in American cities enabled by local government and civil society" This isn't because Minnesotans and Afghans share the terrorism gene, it's because your distinction between grassroots activism and "low-level insurgency" is phony and exists solely to excuse war crimes against civilians.

2026-02-03 18:05:17 +0000 UTCThe green beret twitter guy rant is such a rich, unintentionally revealing text. Classic "No, it's the children who are wrong" stuff.

2026-02-03 16:21:38 +0000 UTCWhy is no one discussing a general strike?

2026-02-03 14:52:23 +0000 UTCWait, hold on. Qanon actually was a psyop but it was created by Epstein and Moot to shitcoat stuff that was actually happening but steer the narrative in a way that was pro-MAGA? This is absolutely insane. I feel like I'm in a dream state

2026-02-01 06:33:27 +0000 UTCsorry man Mike sounds so much like Steve carrell it's insane. his retch in reaction to the Kirk-Owens ship at 48:01 sounded like a drop.

2026-02-01 05:28:48 +0000 UTCNature abhors a vacuum; Julian's absence has left Jake to be the radical one saying stuff that needs bleeped

2026-02-01 05:09:51 +0000 UTCHow would Scully and Mulder be doing in the FBI right now?
Brian Sheppard
2026-02-01 04:22:46 +0000 UTCWelp I guess Qanon was right

2026-01-31 23:27:10 +0000 UTCI thought Civil War was numbingly stupid, but I forgot that we live in a stupid enough society that Garland might be our new Sorkin-prophet. On another note, I’m surprised they’re so worried about an ineffective FBI. This is probably the safest we’ve ever been from that org.
