Yeah this whole pod is especially prescient now considering the online accult developments

Great episode. Matt is a pleasure to listen to, even when not frothing at the mouth over prestige TV or McMeghan.

IIRC the first use of "privatisation" was to describe Nazi economic policy in The Economist

“ Like Russian Roulette, we’ll get more empty chambers! “ Katie is so damned funny! 

Please  ear un  ind that 
the ‘ Corruption Cry ‘ was used by both MBS and JB to lock up Lula da Silva!! 

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.
