JD Vance, Curtis Yarvin, and the End of Democracy

Wisecrack 2024-10-18 | The Philosophy and Theology of JD Vance

There is a new wave of right-wing philosophers and theologians advocating for things like turning American into a non-democratic corporate monarchy ruled by a CEO, or merging the state into the Church and replacing our legal system with the Ten Commandments. And the scariest part is that these thinkers have the ear of people like vice presidential nominee JD Vance, and Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel. We’ll explore it in this video on Curtis Yarvin, Christian Nationalism, and the End of Democracy.

Why Are We So Weird About Celebrities?

The recent backlash against Chappell Roan raised the question of what we're allowed to expect from celebrities, and what celebrities should expect from their fans. In this video we'll look at what we're actually doing when we demand the attention of celebrities, and how the culture around celebrity is teaching us to treat other humans like commodities.

Why America Offers Freedom and Justice . . . for Some.

When presidential candidate Kamala Harris addressed the Democratic National Convention, she evoked a powerful national mythology, one in which all Americans stand together as one people. But behind the sunny imagery, is there a more sinister reality? Let’s explore what’s really going on when politicians evoke “the American people,” and see what happens to those unlucky enough not to belong to that pretty picture.

We tend to think of fascism as a far-right ideology. But what if examining the mainstream political discourse surrounding immigration suggests that right wing and left wing politicians have a lot more in common than we think? And what if both are leading us on a slippery slope to fascism? We’ll explain in this video: Are Our Immigration Policies Fascist?

Jordan Peterson Still Doesnt Understand Marxism or Theology - 8/21/24 - #culture #news #philosophy

Wisecrack 2024-08-21 | In the newest episode of his podcast, Jordan Peterson sits down with "thinker" Logan Lancing to discuss Marxism, Postmodernism, and American education. The results are disastrous. So today on Wisecrack Live, Michael and Henry will react to this conversation in hopes of both exposing Peterson and Lancing's lies and misrepresentations, and figuring out the underlying ideological and cultural motivations for their absurdity.

We'll also hit the mail bag, and take a look at your recent comments.

Tech Bros: Our New Messiahs?

In tough times, it's natural to look to technology to save us: from disease, from inconvenience, from tedium. But can we really count on the tech industry to solve society's biggest problems? And if not, what does it mean that there's an almost religious discourse about the potential of things like AI or microchips for our brains? Let's find out in this video: Technology + Capitalism = Our New Religion?

The Boys Season Four: Is Satire Dead?

The initial reaction to season four of The Boys was extreme, with some fans claiming that the show had gone “woke.” But does this miss the point of what the show is actually doing? And is there room left to create political satire when our political reality is becoming more and more like fiction? Let’s figure it out in this video on The Boys season four.

Homeschooling: Dangerous or Just Weird?

Wisecrack 2024-07-12 | Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video & for the free product! Head to http://keeps.com/wisecrack to get a special offer. Individual results may vary.

The Weird Politics of Homeschooling

While homeschooling has been around for a while, it’s recently taken a decidedly political turn. More and more parents are keeping their kids home to protect them from the supposedly woke agenda of public schools. But how did homeschooling go from a counter-cultural movement to a conservative one? And what can this trend tell us about the larger push for privatization? We’ll explore in this video on Homeschooling and The Future of America.

Overwhelmed by Too Much Culture and Too Much Politics - 7/10/24 - #culture #news #philosophy

Wisecrack 2024-07-10 | The Biden situation is getting weirder, George Clooney is involved, Hasan Minaj is trying to figure it out with Elizabeth Warren, Jordan Peterson has a crush on the Satanic ghost of Karl Marx, and we're just trying to keep our heads above water.

We'll talk about what's going on, try and make sense of it, do some philosophy, have some laughs, and find some solidarity in our collective exhaustion.
