Summary

A closer look at the content and constellations of Josh Rainer Goldstein, who livestreams himself eating raw meat.Presented in three parts: An analysis of how the content is self-centered, ableist, misogynistic, and contribute to structural racism and epistemological confusion. An exploration of the deeply Freudian aspects of Goldstein’s account: its frenzied death wish expressed in an oral/anal fetish of raw meat and body perfectionism. The larger psychoanalytic question is: why are these displays gratifying to his followers? What does Goldstein allow them to feel, without shame? Part of it giving absolution for reactionary behaviours that feel good: consuming huge quantities of meat, and fantasizing about being surrounded by dozen babies on a homestead. In this part we also meet Goldstein’s mom. A letter that confesses how warmly I feel towards Goldstein: towards the understandable needs that get hijacked by the politics he’s gotten messed up in. How can we control what we’re exposed to, after all? Show NotesEating Raw Meat, Dreaming of Fatherhood — Matthew Remski on MediumGoldstein’s raw lamb mukbang.“You own your land.

Dear raw meat guy,

0:41.8

perhaps you saw the article I posted to the Conspirituality Report this week

0:47.2

about the social media content of Josh Rainer Goldstein, who livestreams himself eating raw meat

and philosophizing in the mode of what I've dubbed muscular Conspirituality.

Now, if you haven't read that article, it's in the show notes for this bonus episode.

And you might want to actually pause this and read it first to get a starter pack delivery on this

content. I'm going to use this bonus episode to go a little deeper into the Goldstein material,

1:19.9

a little more speculative, a little more intimate, a little more empathetic.

I'm going to try to do three things, two of which didn't quite fit into the media review format.

1:35.7

First, I'm going to review the research of the article and just name straight up

1:41.2

how Goldstein's views are self-centered, ableist, misogynistic, and contribute to structural racism
