Vigilante Wish w/ @PYeerk
Host of the Bistro Californium podcast sits down with me to discuss Death Wish (1974), Citizen Vigilante (2026), and recent political events in the UK from the Rupert report to the murders of Henry Nowak and Ann Widdecombe.
OH NOOOOOO PEOPLE ARE HONESTLY POINTING OUT MISTAKES THAT INFLUENCED THE OUTCOME OF A PARTICULARLY HIGH-STAKES ELECTION CYCLE!!!! THEY’RE TROONING OUT!!!! THEY’RE NOT TRUSTING THE PLAAAAAAN!!!
You must understand that Americans, like anyone, are self-interested. If you risk their access to Mexican food, they’ll punish you. If their gas is more expensive, they’ll punish you.
They are not ideologues, nor was this actually about whatever pet issue literally everyone, depending on their personal brand of pet issue, will claim it’s about.
We need to generally be playing a very tight game, and whatever trauma we have from leftist or neocon (tautology) cancel culture has convinced us to entertain people within our coalition who are at best unstable and at worst just subversives. No successful political movement has ever done that, much less an insurgent one.
Fortunately, these people don’t have any real influence. But if we treat them like they do and engage in their ideological masturbation rituals then we risk distracting from what Americans actually care about, which again are simply QOL increases and not having their liberal sensibilities too offended. Fair enough.
So proud to get an “I voted” sticker that’s written in 7 different languages, most of which are non-European. I definitely don’t take it as a “fuck you” to our civilization.
George Floyd OD'd
Kyle Rittenhouse was defending his life.
Pelosi jokes were more about the gay sex part.
Why is "All Lives Matter" a bad thing to say?
Traffic blockers are a threat to all of us.
Charlie was murdered for speech.
Democrats truly are cancer.
There’s two ways to interpret Gone Girl: one is as a men’s rights cautionary tale, the other is as a feminist revenge fantasy. I guess what makes it great is that it works well as both, however I say men should stay the fuck away from women who see it as the latter.
