Carsten's Commentary

My barely functioning body could barely articulate anything but that's okay! In this episode, I'll explain how the economic, social, and political ideas of socialism are destroying America and will continue to if not stopped. I pin down the destruction of America to socialism and further narrow it down to five points: economic failures caused by socialist policy, groupthink and associated division, leftist media monopoly and the silencing of conservatives, the end of our constitutional separation of powers, and the cultural departure from our foundational values and ideas. Don't go listen to Vox soyboys. Please. I'm begging you. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carstenscommentary/message

Matt Lieb (sorry, called you "Mark" at points) should be ashamed, but I'm not worked up. He made my job easy. In this episode, I help you understand libertarianism and debunk an utterly awful rant about the "dangers of libertarianism." If you want to watch this crime against reason, here's the link. I go through the worst of the worst when it comes to refutations of libertarianism, which wasn't hard because often the worst of the worst involves strawmen, smugness, and stupidity, a combination that systematically destroys your entire rhetorical triangle. Did I suffer? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Yes. Am I in love with Rand Paul? Yes. Yes I am.

This was so fun! Besides the bad poems, intense repetition, hints at Marxism from kids who can barely read the Communist Manifesto, and political turmoil to be read between the lines, getting to go back to the time when good literature was less critical than producing it in bulk was terrific! I have to give a huge shout-out to my friend Kira for joining me and listening to my antics! One important conclusion- we were strange children with... interesting personalities. For those of you asking, yes, the cover art does feature a piece of art from the book which I freaked out about. It's even more haunting in person.

Poor Penelope Scottsworthy- all she wanted was to be a mean Facebook mom, but she got replaced by Barbara Porter. Either way, though, Facebook is... hard. In this episode, I pretend to be a mom on Facebook and leave some really weird and potentially angering comments and posts, including that the remains of my nonexistent children were above my refrigerator and that people must repent to the spaghetti monster. Hopefully I'm not banned. We'll see... If you're interested in the YouTube creator from the random niche of the episode (who also inspired this episode in the first place), find Duncanyounot.

Reddit can be a wild and scary place, but I'm glad you and my unscripted, blabbering self could enjoy the jungle together. Don't worry- I'd like to think I schooled some pro-choice butt. Reddit tends to be left-leaning, but that's no reason not to be a conservative on it! Don't forget to let me know if you liked this unscripted me better. I'm looking to do it more in the future.

This is barely even commentary, but it's the holidays, so cut me some slack! In this episode, I'll be giving you a detailed guide into throwing the best Christmas movie binging session ever. From food to decor to the movies themselves, you'll learn all about a part of me I try to keep hidden. Whoops, that attempt failed. Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and I hope you have a great end to your year.

The Holocaust, 1941-1945, was an act of genocide against the European Jewish population. Despite being well documented and generally acknowledged as true, some still insist on challenging both its existence and severity. In this episode, I'll be explaining the two types of Holocaust denial, the facts on how you can tell that the Holocaust did in fact happen, as well as how Holocaust denial is one part of the genocidal process. I'll also be examining some recent examples of Holocaust denial which popped up in the news. To sign my petition to end Holocaust denial on Facebook and Twitter, go here. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carstenscommentary/message

Black Lives Matter is an organization established in 2013 dedicated to fighting prejudice and violence against African-Americans. Due to large-scale backlash to the police murder of George Floyd, the organization has seen a dramatic rise in popularity recently. Though it seems great on paper, the organization manifested itself into what can only be described as the worst organization on the planet. If I could tell you its mission statement, I would, but they don't even have one. In this episode, I'll be deeply analyzing the worst problems created by BLM and similar organizations, including the destruction of history, disruption of the traditional nuclear family, victimology, affirmative action, and much, much more.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carstenscommentary/message

American politics are a dumpster fire right now, so let's burn together, shall we? In this episode, I'll be analyzing the political ads published by our presidential candidates, President Trump and former Vice President Biden. In reality, these ads are propaganda, a word which will be heavily discussed throughout the episode. I'm sorry about the audio in this one, I was recorded this on two different computers, and unfortunately one of them is clearer than the other. Be sure to vote on November 3rd and get your voice heard. For researching purposes, here is the platform of the Republican and Democratic parties. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carstenscommentary/message

One of the many stars of YouTube children's content is the Kaji Family. Their main channel, Ryan's World, has 26.6 million subscribers, and has earned the family billions upon billions of dollars in both advertisement dollars and merch. In this episode, I'm going to be looking into who Ryan Kaji, the boy behind Ryan's World, is, as well as the type of content his family makes. I will also be discussing how YouTube holds some accountability for promoting this content despite its many flaws. I referenced three great YouTube channels in this episode. You can find Elise Ecklund's channel here. You can find Moriah Elizabeth's channel here. You can find JKStudios's channel here. They are all very different, but if you want to find some great content and see into the type of things I enjoy watching, I would encourage you to check them out and subscribe. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carstenscommentary/message

On August 26th, 2020, Abby Johnson, one of America's foremost pro-life activists, delivered a rousing speech at the Republican National Convention. Her speech covered the horrors of abortion and her conversion from pro-choice to pro-life. In this episode, I am going to be explaining what abortion is and where I stand on the topic (spoiler alert: I'm pro-life). You can find Abby Johnson's RNC speech here.

Oops. The evil racist blondes have taken my show. Welp, nothing I can do about that. This is a video about Karens. I'll be looking at what a Karen actually is and a few examples of Karenistic behavior. Also, I'll be talking about Covid-19 Karens, so there's that! I apologize for all the voices I use in this episode, as well as some no-copyright-here music parodies. Here's Jarvis's YouTube channel! I reference him a couple of times in the episode, and you should check him out! Also, he has a podcast too, so... notice me Senpai. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carstenscommentary/message

The Holocaust may have ended 75 years ago, but the prejudice against the Jews killed during the event is far from gone. With an appalling increase in hateful attacks on the Jewish community, both violent and not, I'm looking into the unanticipated link between the Black Empowerment Movement and the expansion in Anti-Semitism. I'm evaluating the aggression exerted from leaders in the black community such as Representative Ilhan Omar, Nick Cannon, and Rodney Muhammad against Jews. Besides this, I'm explaining where Anti-Semitism originates from, the difference between Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism, and how we can fix the situation at hand. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carstenscommentary/message

The Paul Brothers have faced their share of controversies over the last few years. However, as they gain more and more subscribers, they (mainly Jake) have adopted a personality which favors money over humanity. In this episode, I'm analyzing Jake Paul's actions in recent years and how all of his antics throughout his career still apply today. I'm addressing his appearance at the Scottsdale Mall during a riot, the FBI raid of his home, his Shane Dawson series, how YouTube favors him, and much more. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/carstenscommentary/message
