#25 KANYE WEST! (ft. Felix Biederman)

Matt Christman of Chapo Trap House drops by this week to talk about his humble Midwest origin story, what gets him riled up most, the unending quest to post, whether political satire is dead, the millennial move towards socialist politics, why sophistication is stupid, and his morbid predictions about the supposedly imminent Blue Wave.  The outro music is “I Love My Shirt” by Donovan.

72: Matt Christman

bonus: Matt talks about being an "insufferable" Civil War History nerd when he was in middle school. https://www.patreon.com/posts/22742080 Related bonus: Matt Karp, who will be joining Matt Christman for our live  taping Civil War History-themed Katie Halper Show (date, TBD)talks to me about why the Dems are  "handcuffing themselves before the battle".
Matt talks about fascism, pseudo-woke gatekeepers, how and why Chapo appeals to the audience it does, and how the Left can maybe win. He also trashes some really stupid and counterproductive liberal hot takes like "economic anxiety doesn't influence people's politics," universal and class-based programs are only good for white people etc. He posits that for fascism to be here, we'd need a more robust Left, which we don't have at the moment. We also reminisce about the live Katie Halper Show taping with Chapo Trap House, which was the first time Matt met Felix in person, and which Matt still considers "one of the best" times of his life.

Matt Christman on the history of fascism & the liberal hot takes that enable Trump

And introducing…the day we’re always never forgetting, it’s 9/11 in popular music! Yes, since we started this show, we’ve noticed almost every musician we’ve covered who’s lived through 9/11 has had BIG THOUGHTS about that important day. So for this year’s 11th of September we brought in Chapo Trap House’s Matt Christman to take a complete survey of how 9/11 broke the brains of the America’s musicians, just as it broke the brains of every American.

Songs:

Psy - Kill Those Yankees
U2 - Where the Streets Have No Name (live at the Super Bowl)
Limp Bizkit - Rollin’ (Air Raid Vehicle)
Tame Impala - Feels Like We Only Go Backwards
Cake - Comfort Eagle
Darryl Worley - Have You Forgotten?
I Am The World Trade Center - Metro (Brooklyn Mix)

Matt Christman's Softcore History 2: Young Stalin

Anthropologist Marc Edelman explores the intersections of poverty, capitalist predation and authoritarian populism in rural America - as financial capital picks clean the remains of large swathes of community and individual wealth, the impoverished working class finds itself isolated from community and politics, and turns its rage outward, but never upward.

Marc wrote the article How Capitalism Underdeveloped Rural America for Jacobin.
