Man, another way too long recording that I will never have time to listen to. People need to learn to keep these 10-20 minutes long. :(
That’s a good interview Rania and BTN are really good. Especially like at the end and his thought of the current political subject being a consumer brand that is reified into an identity through one’s choice of media consumption. This is in place of actual political action as that realm is foreclosed in contemporary America. The foreclosure of the political opens the culture war because it is the only arena that can be contested. His conclusion that we can only imagine punishing a political enemy (much like Conan the barbarian we long for the lamentation of our enemies lol) and the right stands to gain in this moment because they’re so clear about who are the 'enemy '.
Nah im not going to listen to Matt rant about identity politics
