Pretty stupid theorizing on the future of the USA. "Super federalism"? Texas is literally threatening secession over the January 6th Committee and transgender bathroom politics.

just two apes smashing a microphone and hollering over it like the gotdang black obelisk from 2001 a space oddessy

Boric was always a lukewarn lib that got voted in because the right were terrified of giving the victory to the Communists whose candidate was the favourite to win. the cpch had basically all of the popular momentum

Hyper-federalization is already happening,  The Capitol building alone has 20,000 employees, and just 535 of them are elected to their positions. In 1790, MA had 8 representatives (for 380K people) in the House. In 2022, MA has just one more representative (for almost 7M people).

Authoritarian rule in the USA will not be administered by the professional military.  The proxy war in Ukraine is being administered by the national security state and not the pentagon.

We’re getting absolutely zooted on microplastics for today’s ep, then looking at Bill Clinton’s “if I didn’t do it” article in the Atlantic on his true intentions behind NATO expansion in the 90’s, and another piece on what the Democrats can do to recapture Gen Z for the midterms.

632 - They Droop Horses, Don’t They? (5/31/22)

Between a piece on “the left’s” positions on Ukraine, the NYT’s coverage of the death of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, and Rebecca Traister’s new profile of Dianne Feinstein, the theme of today’s episode is “looking the truth in the face and ignoring the most obvious conclusion.”

638 - Real Matt & Felix Hours (6/21/22)

The boys mourn the loss of former Japanese PM Shinzo Abe and reflect on his life and career and speculate as to why someone smoked his ass with a 2-liter pepsi and pack of Mentos. They then discuss Elon "Mr. Too Damn Follow Through" Musk's backing out of buying Twitter, Hunter Biden's latest antics, and President Brandon's cratering approval rating.

644 - Hunter Gatherer (7/11/22)

"Increasing Numbers of US Students Look for a ‘Real’ World," read a 1965 headline from the magazine Moderator. "Academics: Get Real!," the Harvard Business Review implored in 2009. "‘Defund the police’ runs into reality," the Washington Post warned in 2021. "As Latin America Shifts Left, Leaders Face a Short Honeymoon," the New York Times declared in 2022.  

We're often reminded that anyone who espouses some degree of left-wing politics – whether a student, activist, political leader, or anyone in between – is at odds with the "real world." Academics, especially those in the humanities, sit in their ivory towers. Organizers and demonstrators against state violence have their heads in the clouds. Elected leaders campaigning on elevating living standards don’t know what they're in for.

But who's in charge of determining what’s ‘realistic’? Or what "the real world" is exactly? Why is studying theory, fighting for better healthcare, or working toward poverty reduction any less ‘real’ than plugging away at a spreadsheet for a weapons manufacturer or venture capital firm? And how did this pat and folksy concept of the "real world" emerge as a go-to dunk on eggheads and activists?

On this episode, we seek to answer these questions, as we examine the canard that anyone to the left of a Goldman Sachs executive isn't living in or contributing to the "real world."

Our guest is Street Fight Radio's Bryan Quinby.
