As is my custom on Fridays, I listened to the ZMan\u2019s Friday podcast today<\/a>.\u00a0 It was a little bit of a departure in format and content for him.\u00a0 He did a free form rant about whatever he wanted to talk about.\u00a0 He hit on the Canadian Trucker Protest and had some good things to say about that.\u00a0 He discussed the economy and the strange way the numbers on unemployment, industrial output and the stock market performance now seem completely disconnected from the past relationships these factors had on each other.\u00a0 He discussed the Joe Rogan nonsense as it related to anti-white racism and he talked about the recent nonsense about there not being enough black head coaches in the NFL.<\/p>\n

But one thing I noticed about his comments in general was that there is definitely a sense of exhaustion with talking about things that the powers that be completely ignore but which are obvious from simple logic.\u00a0 He says he\u2019s fed up with commenting on the fact that manufactured outrages like Joe Rogan saying politically incorrect things ten or twenty years ago are obviously manufactured.\u00a0 He no longer wants to try to educate anyone who still doesn\u2019t get these things.\u00a0 And he mentioned that some of these things are finally, finally percolating up to the \u201clegitimate\u201d circles of the media and politics.\u00a0 He even stated that some of these circles read his stuff regularly and even contact him from time to time.<\/p>\n

And that I find very interesting.\u00a0 I\u2019m trying to imagine a podcast with the ZMan and, for instance, someone like Michael Anton or Curtis Yarvin discussing the real solutions to the mess we\u2019re in.\u00a0 Now how that would come about is not clear to me.\u00a0 The ZMan has blasphemed against the blank slate countless times.\u00a0 Speaking to him is a sin comparable to throwing puppies and kittens into a shark tank.\u00a0 It\u2019s a crime that will not be forgiven.\u00a0 But it is a fascinating idea because that kind of a conversation is exactly what needs to occur.\u00a0 The dissident right and the mainstream right need to equilibrate.\u00a0 Those two groups need to talk.\u00a0 Once the mainstream is allowed to talk about these issues, they can start to address the reality of where we are today.\u00a0 Most of our problems have to do with making believe that nonsensical things are true.\u00a0 We think that women can be soldiers and men wearing sundresses and wigs are women.\u00a0 We\u2019re willing to let children decide to have life altering surgeries based on things they\u2019ve been told by crackpots.<\/p>\n

Now I doubt that the ZMan will ever talk to Tucker Carlson but I do note that Tucker Carlson is starting to sound a lot like the ZMan.\u00a0 And that is a very good and hopeful thing.\u00a0 In the same way that the COVID wall is crumbling, the whole Leftist infrastructure is starting to alienate large swaths of the population.\u00a0 And maybe, happening at the same time as the economy tanks and crime engulfs the Democrat cities there might be a chance that enough people will be fed up to allow real change to occur.\u00a0 The real solutions are somewhere between the apocalypse desired by the dissidents and the nothing provided by the mainstream.\u00a0 But a genuine dialog between the two is what is needed.<\/p>\n

Anyway, that\u2019s what the ZMan\u2019s podcast got me thinking about today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
