Is Anarchy The Answer? - Michael Malice - #329

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is none other than Twitter's low-key Michael Malice. No matter your perspective, politics isn't working very well at the moment. The world is divided along more lines than we can count, and the powers that be don't seem to have the electorate's best interests at heart. So is the solution just to tear it all down? Today expect to learn why Michael refuses to vote, what the hardest question for anarchy to answer is, why a democracy doesn't give you choice, why I've been forgetting words recently, what we're going to do about our cancelled Russia trip, and much more. Honestly, when I first started talking to Michael about his perspective on anarchy and how the ruling class don't care about the people that are below them, I thought, well, this is kind of cute, but really it's just a fiction and a theory. But more and more we're seeing the mask slip. You know, this situation with Facebook flip-flopping around the COVID origin story and more and more there seems to be opportunities for my faith, my well-intentioned British faith in the people who look after our countries to just be completely undermined and Michael's arguments become more and more convincing every time that I speak to him. In other news, this episode is brought to you by brand new sponsor Element. Element is a tasty electrolyte drink mix with everything that you need and nothing that you don't. It's a healthy alternative to sugary electrolyte drinks. You have a grab-and-go stick that you mix with water and it replaces essential electrolytes with no sugar, no coloring, no artificial ingredients, no BS or any other junk. I have had an Element stick every morning for over a year now. It's what I have instead of having caffeine first thing in the morning because your adenosine system that caffeine works on isn't active at that time. So you can reduce your caffeine intake and feel more awake and get better hydration all in one go. I have it every single morning. That in ice cold water with a little bit of lemon is such an awesome way to start the day. And it's reduced my caffeine consumption, which means I'm sleeping better. Element is the exclusive hydration partner to the Team USA weightlifting. It's relied on by tons of Olympic athletes, high performers in the NFL, NBA, NHL, Special Forces, Navy SEAL Team, FBI, Sniper Teams, and Marines plus tech leaders and everyday athletes around the world.
