Why You Should Take The White Pill - Michael Malice - #575

**Chris Williamson** (0:00)
Hello, friends. welcome back to the show. My guest today is Michael Malice. He's an author, political commentator, and a podcaster. The 1900s saw some of the worst atrocities in human history. Evil was abound, and the bad guys were on top a lot, with the Soviet Union being one of the most brutal examples. Given this, what reason do we have for any hope in the modern world? Expect to learn just how brutal the Soviet jails and gulags were, the torture methods used to extract confessions, how the Western Press were complicit in covering up Russian crimes, the incredible heroism and ingenuity used by people to get through the Berlin Wall, why the bad guys don't have to win, Michael's justification for there always being hope, and much more. This is a period of history that I've always felt I should know more about and didn't, and after learning about it, it gives me a very new perspective on the way that the world as I was born into came about. It also does, despite being brutal and atrocious and nothing short of pure evil, for quite a lot of the examples that Michael uses, actually leave you with a pretty good sense of hope. The bad guys didn't win. They don't always end up winning. And by taking that lesson going forward, it does give us a reason to actually believe that there is always something better that we can do with the world.

I'm so nervous.

**Chris Williamson** (4:45)
Why? You idiot. Is it because of all of the cameras and lights?

**Michael Malice** (4:49)
Yeah, yes.

**Chris Williamson** (4:50)
I'll be gentle with you.

**Michael Malice** (4:52)
I don't want gentle.

**Chris Williamson** (4:53)
Yeah, I've heard that. So you were about to have an argument with me. Are you planned to have a potential argument with me?
