Connecting The Dots Of Chaos - Michael Malice - #277

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, beautiful humans, welcome back. My guest today is Michael Malice, an author, political commentator and podcaster, and also my road trip buddy for a journey that we're taking out to Russia later this summer. The first few weeks of 2021 have been madness. Michael joins me to try and connect the dots of chaos and give us an insight into why the world is slowly turning upside down. So today, expect to learn what a modern anarchist's perspective is on politics, what Michael thinks about the Wall Street bets and Gamespot debacle, what his predictions for a Biden presidency are, why the Capitol Hill siege will never be forgotten, and much more. You're also going to get to hear him take the piss out of the way that I say Russia constantly throughout this episode. So yeah, enjoy that, I suppose. I absolutely love having him on. He's become such a good friend since you first heard him on the show nearly a year ago now. And I can't wait to go and visit his homeland later this year. In other news, this episode of the podcast is brought to you by brand new sponsor, DW aligners. You may have seen invisible aligners already. You may have considered getting them, but during a pandemic, you might be thinking that it's too logistically difficult or expensive to do. Well, you're wrong. Diamond White's invisible aligners are 70% cheaper than traditional invisible aligners by reducing your trips to the dentist. You track your progress using Diamond White's self-scan unit, which uses artificial intelligence and their team of registered dentists to ensure that you're moving forward correctly. They've had over half a billion scans and counting. Within three to six months, you can have the perfect smile that you want. It's an easier, quicker and cheaper way to get the smile that you've always dreamed of while still receiving all the support and expertise you would traditionally. They also offer great finance plans, and it's 70% cheaper than other invisible aligners. The digital system means that often they can skip regular trips to the dentist, just using an at-home impression kit, digital scanners around the UK, and a dental monitoring system, so that they can create a fast treatment for a fraction of the price compared to traditional methods. Their custom-made invisible aligners slowly move your teeth into the right position, you change them regularly, and they have incremental movement to recreate the straighter smile you've always wanted.
So, head to dwaliners.co.uk, and you can get 10% off an already ridiculously cheap price with Wisdom 10 That can save you up to £230 off the treatment and £10 off your initial impression kit. Initial impression kit is less than £100 already, so you can get it for £89 to just get your impressions done. Head to dwaliners.co.uk, they've got an FAQ on there, they've got Dr Richard Marcus, the co-founder, they've got all of his information on there, plus reviews and everything else that you would want to know. Honestly, given that you're probably not going into the office and sat around at home, not seeing anyone, now is the perfect time to start an Invisible Aligner Treatment and dwaliners.co.uk and the code Wisdom10 mean that you can get started and have that perfect smile within three to six months from today. dwaliners.co.uk. But for now, it's time for the wise and Russian, Michael Malice.

What do you mean?

**Chris Williamson** (3:39)
You've been trying to copy me.

**Michael Malice** (3:42)
Yeah, not copy you, but you say words in a unique way.

**Chris Williamson** (3:47)
Russia.

**Michael Malice** (3:48)
Russia, yeah.

**Chris Williamson** (3:50)
It's the word, Russia. That's it. Man. Here's what it is. How are you today? You good?

**Michael Malice** (3:59)
I'm very good.

**Chris Williamson** (4:00)
Yeah, man. I'm excited to have you here. I want to try and get a proper understanding of your political position. And we're going away to Russia later this year. And I feel like I need to kind of really get my teeth stuck into what you believe. So what are the principles of your political position?

**Michael Malice** (4:23)
Well, one of the principles is that you don't need to get into what I believe, because I think it's a very insidious concept that we have to be friends with people who agree with us or to discuss politics at all. There's this concept that, you know, politics have to permeate every aspect of every person's life and, you know, they have to constantly discuss this, something I'm completely opposed to. I think it's really a horrible idea. And it's tribalism, which I'm not entirely opposed to at its worst. If, you know, if someone is, if you're having an emergency at home, you know, you don't quickly run a scan, oh, well, I want to call this person, but they voted the wrong way or something like that. So my political views, and you're referring to anarchism, it's simply being against politics as a mechanism of resolving disputes. And, you know, everything just follows as a consequence of that. It's, I mean, we can unpack it, but that's basically it in a nutshell.
