Welcome to Impact Theory, I’m Tom Bilyeu and in today’s episode my guest Michael Malice and I dive deep into the realm of societal norms, politics, and cultural dynamics to help you break free from the "factory settings" of default societal beliefs.
Michael Malice is widely known as an anarchist, author, and podcaster who challenges conventional views on political authority. Through his work, he pushes for a deeper understanding of the structures that govern us.
Together, we debate the impact of governmental actions on society, delve into the psychological underpinnings of human behavior, and ponder the potential of anarchism as a viable societal framework.
We also touch on:
- Transient cultural issues like transgender bathrooms and miniskirts
- Peoples’ resistance to thinking beyond societal norms
- Effectiveness of inflicting personal consequences in political change
- Mao, North Korea, and USSR historical context
- Implications of an anarchist system
- Voting as a ritual versus a practical tool for change
- Inevitability of hierarchy
- Anarchism and political legitimacy
- Thinking from first principles
- Intellectual curiosity in communication
- Armed populations as a defense against government overreach
- The status-seeking nature of humans and its manipulation
- Media narratives and trust
- Human behavior and political dynamics
- Risk of global hegemony and practical limitations
Whether you're a skeptic or an advocate of anarchism, prepare to have your beliefs examined and your assumptions questioned.

POWERFUL QUOTES FROM Michael Malice:
"I think the world would be a lot better place if more people understood that political authority is inherently illegitimate and that we are all individually responsible and accountable for our lives and for our communities and things like that."
"Because instead of wondering why the Republicans doing this, why the Democrats doing this, you know, a, it's for power, and you also know, b, they don't believe what they're saying even as they're saying it."
"Americans are still fundamentally naive about the nature of evil. Americans, maybe westerners more broadly, think evil is someone with a wacky mustache pounding a podium, talking in a crazy language. They don't realize evil is that next door neighbor who will be delighted to turn on you and your families, the cops, simply because it's going to make them feel important."
"Isn't it so much better when you win peacefully? Isn't it so much better when there aren't millions of dead people and orphans and widows, when the bad guys just go home and they're like, you know what? It's a wrap. And just overnight things get freed."
"Corporate America has done a far better job of promoting Maoism than the Chinese Communist Party ever dared dream because capitalism is so efficient."
"My opponents don't value my life at all, or they see the world in ways that are so fundamentally opposed to my own that there's really no point in talking, because even best intentions, we're gonna be talking past each other."
"There's lots of people who'd rather be poor and freer and live in a country that aligns more with their values than wealthier and subjugated."

A poignant illustration of this idea is Tom's failure to understand or even recognize his unconscious obsession with and insistence on identifying with the collective "we". The anarchist philosophy values individual responsibility as fundamental and sees subjugation to the oppressive collective as fundamentally evil. Michael is trying to nudge Tom to recognize this principle because he knows that principles can be defined but will never be understood until they are discovered for oneself.... Especially when dealing with deeply rooted indoctrination.

Sinclair was one of the men who lied to produce the USDA and FDA. Along with Dr. Harvey Wiley- who worked for the Bureau of Chemistry and coherced the government into allowing food colorings to be accepted. These 2 gentlemen acted on LIES to the American people that “small butchers processorsand meat packers were supplying meats and meat products containing human remains. There was NEVER any test ran nor any conclusion to prove there were. They attacked small farmers butchers and packers until they shut their doors. Sinclair pushed their socialism through “The Jungle” his most praised work…… this book explains their thinking in the meat industry and their thinking on communities all together. This caused meat prices to drop 50% in 6 months in some areas ONCE The Jungle was published!!! Do not quote Sinclair unless you KNOW his work. He was a socialist so was Wiley and neither of them were doctors nor had any proper accreditation to even make the claims they made in 1906!!!!!!! Now “consumers had more trust in meat distributors”… yet they had the upmost respect and loyalty to their local farmers butchers and packers from the start. They all needed each other. The cities then expanded and the “need for these government managed/overseen farmers and distributors” by consumers. Yet it is difficult to understand these things when you have never discovered these things but quote socialist on a video pertaining the ideas and philosophy of Anarchism…. You don’t understand do you?

The Gulag Archipelago is an epic story of my grandfather’s hell and other millions like him. It took me 6 months to read it in small portions so my heart would not break. I knew very little from my grandfather because after he was released, he had to agree that he would never talk about it. He said very little; that he was there 6 years, that only 20% survived, that it was so cold that by the time spit reached the ground, it was already frozen, that the food portions were 1/2 pond of bread and one herring a day, that they worked cutting wood, berried dead bodies only in summer months when the ground was not frozen. He did not say more, but he screamed in his sleep often.Only after he died, my grandmother said that people there ate dead people. His greatest wish for us was that his grandchildren would never be hungry. I, on the other hand always knew that you should always be the most aware of your stupid neighbors. Stories of the Gulag Archipelago's caliber could caution privileged generations who never had to experience the horrors of what humans can do to one another. Perhaps the eyes could be open then, and gratitude, respect, grace, kindness, and generosity would have a chance to develop.

That was not her point at all. Her point was that everyone inevitably creates emotional bond with "the truth" and is capable of joining and participating in any sort of totailitarian society and comiting even attrocities against any percieved treath. "Nazis" were not special in any way,they were you and me in a situation where we see one group or few groups as the threath - like vaccinated vs unvaccinated where we percieve "the others" as a treath to us and are ready to use force to "defend ourselves" but only one side has The State on its side and capability to commit atrocities or implement terror.That's why Michael's ideas are important,to prevent state's terror state should be abandoned otherwise it always becomes (or is from the begining) totalitarian,that's how we humans normaly behave. She (H.Arendt) was ostracized from Jewish intelligencia for her comments about the "banality of evil" after Eichman's trial in Israel where she was dissapointed and against those show trials where particular people are portraid as particulary evil and "special". Outside of a few psychopaths all humans are "normal", but capable of similar cruelty regardless and should be treated "normaly" like everybody else guilty of the same crime. Eichman hasn't killed anybody personaly so why should he be executed but thousands of "murderous" soldiers let go? That was and still is controversial idea since we all give highest blame to the leaders for evil commited but not to the foot soldiers who bring those terrible ideas to fruition. And all those foot soldiers are normal people too so there's no "justice" possible,only revenge. And to do that "reasonably" we choose to punish leaders most severly. She sees that as similar behaviour but from "our side",we punish percieved symbols of evil to create symbolic revenge which might also be evil in itself. See also Mattias Desmet's "Mass formation" about the subject.

I stopped looking for explanations ever since I started reading the Bible. As a kid I never followed and I always questioned why? Why is it so easy for people to be persuaded into doing things that are obviously immoral? I’m not saying I’m special, we all have family, friends, and coworkers that will agree on bombing children in Gaza. Why? It doesn’t benefit you to agree with such approach. It’s obviously immoral. Are they scared to be ostracized? Is there repercussions for disagreeing? Yes. But Why? Logically asking questions and criticizing actions can only benefit the nation from making further mistakes. So the conclusion for me is very simple. It’s just Evil. Evil from a Christian perspective. The same evil that tortured a innocent man to death for a degenerate collective. There’s nothing else that can explain it. You look through out history the same events happens over and over again. It leaves me dumbfounded. And I’m pretty fucking dumb. Leaves me asking the same questions every single time. How could you? And why would you? It’s just crazy honestly. It’s actually not that deep. I think people keep digging to try to reason with their own soul. Anarchy isn’t possible. But an overpowered government is worst. The sooner we can collectively agree on Morals the sooner we can get back to normalcy.

The next question can you have power plants, hospitals, roads, ambulances, sewer plants and water plants for fresh water in an anarchy society? The Final question would be There are approximately 100 uncontacted tribes Left on Earth where it's literally illegal to walk up and say hello (because the diseases you may carry will wipe out half the population after the first encounter) are these examples of anarchy or they simply small governments

@TheBrianna4555 Ай бұрын

You pay for it from a company the same way you buy shoes and eat burgers and everything else you want. What the fuck is this question? You are sitting here and telling me that nobody could figure out how to filtrate water without government? There's all this demand for fresh water from billions of people but goddamnit there is no government so I guess I'll drink sewer water because nobody has the mental capacity to start a company that makes clean water and sells it in a bottle. Holy shit dude lol. Your lack of basic logic and critical thinking is shocking. Do not vote. Also, just because you are clearly a deeply unimpressive doesn't mean everyone else is.

@dralel1381 29 күн бұрын

Tribes typically do have a hierarchy and/or governing body. As long as the people volunteer into the system, with no coercion to stay in the system it's kosher. We had amenities such as education, roads, electricity, water, far before we had taxes maintaining such things. If your interested in reading about such topics, here are some books. 'The Privatization of Roads & Highways' by Walter Block And 'Economics and the Environment: A Reconciliation' by Walter E. Block Edit: got the author wrong.

1:00:42 the discussion on the asymmetry of imparting bad/unhealthy ideas vs good/healthy ideas is very interesting.

@atlasshrugged9735 7 күн бұрын

@dralel1381 It's an argument for the status quo whatever that status quo may be. Ancharism (decentralization), like communism (centralization), are extremes. One should ask the question, if anarchism (or communism) is the best way to organize human affairs why didn't humans adopt it and keep it? That's how we started out is it not? In small independent familial tribes (a form of anarcho-communism). No government existed, and yet here we are. I'm not making an argument for or against anything, but for some reason we aways end up right where we are at in terms of hierarchical systems. I'm always skeptical of people who claim they have the answer to how humans should arrange their affairs for the maximum benefit of all. Should vs. reality are rarely the same.

I love you, Michael Malice. Your clarity is delightful. Big question: what is your view of international power competition? I am libertarian bordering on anarchist. However, it appears to me that the strong dominate the weak.

@johnnyshanksalot8358 Ай бұрын

Michael definitely won't answer YT comments but who's more likely to exert power over you, some foreign nation or the very 'security' apparatus that you speak of? Does an invasion/occupation of a 1st world nation in 2024 by such a nation actually seem feasible to you? What would be the upside for them vs the nightmare that they'd encounter because of (unrestricted) modern technology?
