Summary

It’s a busy start to September, and now that we’ve all renewed our dhimmi permits, we can enter the no-go zone of Whitechapel to record and episode. This week, Riley (@raaleh), and Milo (@Milo_Edwards), and Nate (@inthesedeserts) joined journalist and writer Oscar Rickett (@oscarrickettnow) to discuss his work reporting on ayahuasca entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley and, more importantly, on the demise of predatory UK usury magnates Wonga. Hussein (@HKesvani) dialed in from exotic Vancouver, fatigued and red-eyed from another night of gaming. You can read Oscar’s piece about ayahuasca in the Guardian here: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/aug/31/ayahuasca-tourists-risk-death-henry-miller-colombia You can commodify your dissent with a t-shirt from http://www.lilcomrade.com/. You can also purchase useful kitchen implements from our socialist cookware sponsor, Vremi (https://vremi.com/).

0:00.0	Hi, welcome to the Trash Future Shopping Channel podcast where we're talking about all of the
0:07.7	purchases you can make to protest the radical Islamic mayoralty of Sadiq Khan.
0:13.0	I, for one, am protesting the creeping Islamization of London by wearing exclusively yellow
0:18.6	bikinis, which also protests protesting fat shaming.
0:22.7	I am joined in solidarity in this effort by a large, sexy balloon that cost upwards of
0:29.1	50,000 pounds for some reason.
0:31.4	Yeah, I really care passionately about protesting Sadiq Khan and showing that his brand of radical
0:36.9	Islamism is not
0:37.7	welcome in London, which is why I have had a custom-made designer Italian suit made entirely
0:43.6	out of Serrano Ham. It has sent me back around $7,000, but you know, like that's the price you
0:50.1	pay for showing the Islamists that, you know, they're not going to get away with it.
0:53.6	Well, I mean, I'm an American college student. I'm here on study abroad, but I really care deeply
0:57.4	about fighting the Islamization of Europe. And so, you know, for me, I think the most important
1:01.2	thing is I opened up a Sharia compliant bank account, but I've made sure to constantly violate my
1:05.3	overdraft fees so that I'm just paying through the nose, but it's all right because at some point, this bank is going to be shut down if all of its clients just fail to correspond with the rules. So, I mean, it's like
1:15.4	a little trickle, but at some point, if enough people do it, it's, you know, terminal mass.
1:19.6	I'd like to congratulate Nate for being the successful recipient of the Milo Unopolis
1:24.7	White Boys Scholarship to study abroad.
1:30.1	A man who is
