It was a superb stream. You were on fire Morgoth. No idea how you and Woes had the stamina to do 7 hours, but the time flew by. Huge thanks to you both. Happy New Year to everyone on the Substack.

LadyofShalott, could you please do me a favour. I have made my first substack post, but I can't tell if my account is visible in search yet or even if Substack is letting users view my posts. I've probably messed something up, so any advice would be appreciated. I don't want to post direct links on here as that feels like spamming. Thus use of that word probably ages me!

All visible! Read and subbed - I’ve also commented. Superb first post. You have set the bar very high for the rest of us lol. Congratulations - may the road rise to meet you in 2023.

You are an angel. I wish I could put on my Dad's best suit, buy you chips and take you dancin'! I'm starting to get Millenniyule withdrawl symptoms. Not sure how we all coped before it started!

Ah bless you, you are kind. What a lovely comment...I too felt a bit lost today without a Millenniyule stream to tune in to! It was a public holiday down here in Melbourne, very warm and sunny. Christmas/NY in summer is utterly bizarre and quite wrong to anyone who’s grown up in the northern hemisphere. I am swotting up on Tolkien this evening. Nathan C J Hood is having a Tolkien quiz in his channel on Monday evening (your time) - he had asked me to be one of the Champions of the Chat but the prospect of going up against Apostolic Majesty and Praise of Folly was too much. I read the books when at school and uni and have a reasonable knowledge, but the level of expertise amongst some people in our sphere is terrifying. I will be the mod in the chat, that is enough for me 😊

I've spent Christmas in Auckland, fairly recently, so I do know what you mean. I imagine the Tolkein quiz will attract a number of people who are desperate do to well, while giving the appearance of not particularly caring about the result!

If you are ever stuck for an answer, go with 'Never laugh at live dragons!'.

You think you've spent long a long time on this stream, Morgoth, but I've already listened to it all twice and I'm currently on the 3rd play.

So at least one of us is putting the hours in!

Haha I'm going to be doing a hard stop at three hours next year.

Really looking forward to catching up with this. Remember listening to your post Brexit stream live back in the day.

That being said, can't help but feel that all this cross decking with the AA circle is just us humouring the slow kids. Some of the takes from that lot would have been stale in these circles in 2015, let alone 2022. That's without even mentioning such wretched creatures as "Evelyn" and "Scrump". I don't know how the AA simps expect to be taken seriously.

Sometimes it seems that they only flirt with this part of political spectrum because it makes them feel a bit edgy, a bit naughty. They will always return to being Sargonesque contards.

What a stream! You and Woes are like brothers. We are incredibly lucky to have you both.

I'm only three hrs into it, but it's been great so far. Needless to say, I'm already looking forward to more excellent content in the NY. Wishing you all the best for 2023, Morgoth.

I'm planning a video essay which I mentioned on the stream, then next week I'll be discussing Spengler's Man and Technics with Auron Mcintyre.

So coming back with a bang after my Christmas break. Happy New Year!

On the Kanye issue. In America in a gym that is 50/50 black and white there is a fair amount of open discussion of the issue in the sauna and the joke “hey you can’t say we control everything! You’re getting cancelled from everything” goes over very well. A Zooner Hispanic girl I know showed me an argument she had with a black guy defending mustache man as an “animal rights activist.” Microcosm but certainly making waves with some communities.

Awesome stream. Really enjoyed the 21st century 'victory gardens' thought experiment. I don't see many non-whites at my local allotment 🤔

Was busy away.

Just finished listening that was an absolute blinder mate. Best thing I've heard in ages.. you two need to do a monthly reveiw of events or something..

I watched the full thing yesterday 10am-6pm, excellent stream as always and can’t wait to hear the upcoming script you mentioned at the start of the episode.

It is a good stream to fall asleep to. I’ve fired it up several times while in a state of insomnia and it has thankfully worked! All kidding aside it was a great stream on the state of affairs in the world today and those responsible for the breakdown of Western civilization. As you’ve stated “power needs coordination.”And I believe the war in Ukraine is where the future will be decided. The globalists are all in now. It’s the final battleground as more people become aware of the senseless wars the illegal plundering and the toll of worldwide (especially European) genocide that has been going on for decades. Much appreciated for your opinions on this marathon stream.

I had not thought it humanly possible for two people to do a 7 hour live stream that would leave the listener wanting more. I was wrong.

Expand full comment

Haha It'll be a long time until I do another like that. It was exhausting to be honest.

Your takes on Dostoyevski and Cervantes were also highly enlightening. I think if you did some content on older literature also it would be very well received.

It was legendary. Missed the first hour but stayed for the rest, got to bed about 3AM. Planning on firing it up again

Wow 7 hours. Watching this now!
