Highway To Hell Part 1 ft. Matt Christman
Manage episode 320651790 series 2872002
Canada's reckoning with its right wing "uprising" continues, so Riley and Dan brought on Matt Christman to talk about the meaning civil unrest takes on in an age of extreme alienation, how the Trucker became a symbol of the libertarian ideal in the (North) American consciousness, and how it came to be that the mass lumpen Canadian right will only accept Donald Trump as their Prime Minister.
In Part Two, out next week on www.patreon.com/dabottlemen , we discuss how the way we protest is a product of media consumption and "politics" as a civil religion, and what it looks like when a state slowly loses legitimacy over time. Also, the George Romero film "Land of the Dead."
