That was an epic interview. Never forget that Asian hate comes from democrats who attack Asians every day in city streets and school boards. Lee - would love to have you in our rooftop Asians signal group chat, Mishima is a legend. https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-stop-asian-hate
Chinese father, white mom: immunized against NOWAG from birth. I've noticed over the years that there's a huge difference between the offspring of AMWF and WMAF pairings, the former tend to be much less resentful for some reason.
A key question remains: how exactly does a young man on the ethnic margins trained in martial arts navigate the every-day urban environment? The increasing frequency of violence against whites and Asians in so many of the major US cities must be relevant to Lee Fang.
I could not help but wonder if Lee Fang felt closer to Travis Bickle than to Django (of movie fame) or not.

The only cultural thing out of DC i know of is Go Go music. Most famous artists are Chuck Brown ("I feel like bustin loose" was the sample for Nelly's "Hot in Herre") and EU ("Da Butt") but i like the chorus to Body and Soul's "Dance to the Drummer's Beat". Body and Soul is best known because one if its members, Dee Barnes, got her ass kicked badly by the members of NWA.
I agree that Occupy became a cesspool for grifting opportunists. Probably like the commercials of hippies back in the 70’s where they gathered on an Italian hilltop and sang “I’d like to buy the world a Coke” while yenning for peace among all cultures and creeds. Just enjoy capitalism and drink pop, not propaganda right?
But I think today’s prominent grift arose in identity politics as something more akin to the ‘Willie Lynch Letter’ on which he describes how to most profitably manage one’s slaves. It strikes me as the same thing. Give preference to one particular identity and point out who’s at the top and bottom of the pecking order.
We’re now so “preoccupied” with pecking each other that the plantation runs smoothly as ever with maximum profits. I do believe it’s run its course tho. I guess I’m just an optimist at heart. No need to buy anyone a Coke while buying my own still feels good ✌️

Anyone else get some ridiculous song playing during this interview?

Excellent get Niccolo
Great interview!
On a D.C. tangent; ever listen to Bad Brains?
This piece totally confused me. Is it all satire? It's a very strange format and a waste of my time.

Cussing was not necessary.

Now that's what I call an interview!
I can’t tell if that was an interview or fever dream.
Perfection.
Awesome. These interviews were my introduction to your 'stack. Wish they were more common.
Any chance of getting Whitney Webb on for one of these?
