neoliberalhell (neoliberalhell)

For their inaugural episode, co-hosts Ana (@neoliberalhell2) & Matthew (@matthewdonovan__) explore the subcultural phenomenon known as "otherkin". This is a term coined in the early '90s referring to a subcategory of people that believe that they are not entirely human. In layman's terms, imagine a dude who thinks he's part Harry Potter, or part sofa. So many possibilities! 

Ana & Matt also share some personal anecdotes about the kin in their lives, and answer the pressing question that no one wants to address: If someone identifies as part-deer, are we allowed to hunt them? 

All this and more...on...NEOLIBERALHELL (it's actually all lowercase but that was just for effect). 

welcome to the neoliberahell podcast,

where we feed you poison...so you buy our cures...

enjoy your stay

This week, Ana and Matthew s**** w*** and hash out some more Dimes Square related drama and happenings with the infamous gonzo journalist at the center of the scene, featured recently in Air Mail, M Crumps (aka Michael Crumplar).

He gained simultaneous infamy and respect from different sources with his piece called My Own Dimes Square Fascist Humiliation Ritual, detailing his very awkward and puzzling experience on the set of Peter Vack's upcoming film www.rachelormont.com, in which he was berated by Peter and a large audience of extras for his criticism of Peter's sister's film, Actors, which he called transphobic and distasteful. 

Ana and Matthew get into that more specifically on the Patreon extended version, but the first half is mostly spent on his origin story and dishing on various Dimes Square adjacent subjects like: Theil bucks, Urbit / Curtis Yarvin, Red Scare, Milady NFTs, NPCC, Forever Mag and Angelicism. If you don't know what any of this shit is, please consider listening and finding out! Enjoy :)

On this segmented special episode, Ana & Matthew dive into the concept of "clout". 

They start off one-on-one by discussing the origins of the term and it's evolution, and react to some clout-themed cultural touchstones. Then, they take their theory and turn it into praxis at the [redacted] Club where they were tasked with hosting for the night. This segment is the first Neoliberalhell live pod and they ask lawyers, randos and NLH orbiters "how do you get clout in NYC?". 

THEN, after that, they do a postgame of the night and realize that clout is more sinister and vapid that they had originally thought. 

As the editor of the show, I really enjoyed this one because you get an entire pre, intra and post clout event experience in real time. This was one of the more fun episodes we've ever recorded so we hope you enjoy it!!!
