Thoughts on My First Substack Article Please - It's About Elon Musk Posting My Old Troll Bait

Prison is hell on earth. I talk about it at length in this article that I actually published from prison (not to toot my own horn or anything, but I was obviously pretty brave to do so): https://medium.com/@MoonMetropolis/how-prison-made-me-hate-the-police-a0ae6f3b957b


Yes. I was cellmates with Viktor Bout in the SHU at one point. That was probably the most high-profile person who I directly encountered in prison. I was at Chicago MCC at the same time that R. Kelly was, but I never personally encountered him (although I was cellmates, at one point, with the nutjob who would later make the news for beating up R. Kelly).
Tell me more about Bout
 
Details on the events leading up to my arrest can be found in my 2019 public statement: https://medium.com/@MoonMetropolis/first-public-statement-from-joshua-goldberg-8bb061aa56a0

As for Viktor Bout, this is what I wrote about him in my post-prison AMA on the Sharty:

He was my cellmate in 2015, in the SHU at Miami FDC. He was in the SHU for spitting in an inmate's face, as he had a hair-trigger temper. He spoke 9 different languages, and he told me how the movie Lord of War was based on him and how he had letters from US presidents. He was devoutly Jewish, and complained that Miami FDC was not a place where one could "be a Jew" (the cell that we were in, it should be noted, had a huge swastika with "WHITE POWER" graffitied on the wall in pencil; when I asked Bout about it, he said that it was put there by "someone who believe in 'white power'"). He was a whiny little bitch (and obsessive clean freak) who threw petulant hissy fits about every single petty little thing that I did, often bitching and moaning to the guards, who obviously didn't even remotely care. At one point, I told Bout "you're a fucking asshole" and he then tattled to the guard "he is again saying I am a fucking asshole." The guard told him that "it's just words" - the kind of thing that you would tell a kindergartener. Bout was so cantankerous and annoying that, eventually, I had staff move me into a different SHU cell by myself. You would probably expect someone nicknamed "The Merchant of Death" to be a profoundly terrifying individual, but he was really more like a caricature of an anal-retentive old Jew with severe OCD.
 
No. If I had my way, there would be zero pictures of me online, and I want to make sure that there are never again any pictures of me online. I shaved my head so that nobody would be able to recognize me IRL. I don't want anyone online being able to recognize me IRL.


Yep. Well, 9 years (you serve 85% of your sentence in the feds), but that was more than enough.

When I was in prison, I often said that there are no friends in prison. However, what a corrections officer once told me is perhaps more accurate: "There are no friends anywhere." There are no good people, and there is absolutely nothing worth liking about people. Prison is just a microcosm of society at large. Prison is human nature in its purest, rawest, most unadulterated form. Once you've experienced prison, you will never see the world the same way again. Prison is, as alt-righters would say, something that "redpills" you. Before I ever went to prison, I didn't think that my worldview could possibly get any more nihilistic or misanthropic. I was wrong. After experiencing prison, I now have seen firsthand what humanity really is. Human "civilization" is a complete sham - just the same dog-eat-dog prison pecking order dressed up in a shiny exterior to appear more palatable. Prison simply strips away that shiny exterior so that one can see the world as it really is. In the world at large - just like in prison - the only people destined to rise to the top are the most ruthless, heartless, amoral psychopaths, hence why the world is run by ruthless, heartless, amoral psychopaths. The only real difference between the people running the world and the inmates running prisons is that the latter don't pretend to be anything other than vicious, predatory criminals. They aren't nearly as skilled at dressing themselves up in "civilized" clothes.

I posted the above paragraph elsewhere recently and was, of course, immediately called an edgelord a million times. But it's just me being honest.
>goes to a place where all the worst people are kept
>people there act like bad people
>extrapolate their actions to all of humanity

I don’t like humanity much either but this is quite silly
