What's wild is that Roland Emmerich double downed on Stonewall. In 2016, Emmerich blamed the failure on "one voice on the internet who saw a trailer and said, this is whitewashing Stonewall. Stonewall was a white event, let’s be honest. But nobody wanted to hear that any more."

that reminds me of how the Mormon church posthumously baptizes people

A loose and chill hang out ep as we come to you from Atlantic City after our successful appearance at the FRQNCY1 festival. We pitch some of our concepts to revitalize AC and solve America’s Trump problem in one tidy package, lament the purging of some truly wonderful cranks and goofys from twitter, then travel Into The Ray Donoverse.

530 - Auspicious Dragons (6/7/21)

"Why We Need Inclusive Nationalism," the journal Democracy declares. "Inclusion is patriotism of the highest order," cries The Washington Post. "Try patriotism," Bloomberg opinion writer Noah Smith proclaims.

Contemporary liberals repeatedly tell us – amid events that should make us impugn the foundations of the United States, like police killings and the absurd panic over Critical Race Theory – that American patriotism is inherently good, only sullied by "bad apples" and the Hard Right, and that the Center, Center-Left, and sometimes even the Center-Right, must "reclaim" this proud patriotism from the clutches of those who harm its noble reputation. In this framing, everyone, from 19th Century abolitionists to Indigenous land protectors to anti-war protesters, no matter their positions on the American project, is hailed as a "patriot," serving to make America the very best it can be.

Meanwhile, some popular PBS documentaries, NPR broadcasts, and many other forms of ostensibly "progressive" media alter the stories of radical figures and movements in the United States to promote this notion of "inclusive patriotism." Instead of highlighting and elucidating the political principles and goals of indigenous peoples, Communists, anarchists, socialists, anti-colonialists, and other activists, dissidents, and combatants throughout the past, mainline U.S. media offer a revisionist history in which these figures are either invisible or proudly American, Constitution-abiding liberals participating in some imaginary, high-minded national project.

In this episode, we examine how media routinely defang radical political figures as noble patriots in service of reformism and incrementalism; how they erase the power dynamics between oppressor and oppressed; why there can't really be such a thing as "progressive" or "inclusive" patriotism–– and why that's perfectly okay for adults to accept, and how the fiction of inclusive nationalism exist to narrow the confides to what is political possible today.

Our guest is organizer and writer Charlotte Rosen.

On today's episode, Teen (Escape From Plan A, @mont_jiang on Twitter) and Chris (Escape from Plan A, @JesuInToast) join Trevor to discuss the life and death of "The Great Awokeness". The basic idea of this episode is that the economy was good for a while, so people had money to waste and also wanted to talk about a lot of hot-button issues involving marginalized groups thanks to events in the news that were kept in the forefront via social media and protests. Now money is tight and people are out of patience for a lot of these social issues, but many in academia, politics, and media didn't get the memo and are in for a rude awakening.

Episode 267: Cop City

In recent years, television personality Mike Rowe has amassed a wildly popular following due to alleged working-class straight talk about topics ranging from the affordability of college to reasserting a culture of pride in craftsmanship and labor. From his 5.2 million Facebook followers to his cable programs, his everyman schtick, on its surface, can be very appealing: after all, who doesn’t love a hard day’s work and loathe detached, ivory tower eggheads? 

But hiding under his superficially appealing blue-collar façade is dangerous ideology, one funded by the Koch Brothers and other far-right, anti-labor corporate interests and specifically tailored to pick off a certain constituency of Home Depot Democrats while pushing political impotence, anti-union narratives and anti-intellectualism. Through a clever combination of working class affectation and folksy charm – often exploiting real fears about a decline in industrialization – Rowe has cultivated an image that claims to be pro-worker, but primarily exists to line the pockets of their boss.

Our guest is Street Fight Radio's Bryan Quinby.
