His "I hope woke whatever writing dies so we can go back to the old days with Biden on charge" stuff doesn't acknowledge that most of the people that did such writing have moved on so hard that if the stuff he so wishes to perish goes away, that includes all of the Thiel-murdered ones that did fundamental lefty muckracking, since people did cheer those places going down and Virgil comically portraying the football, wrestling and so on writing it on as "lib poo poo". Felix's writing on MMA and the like could easily be put on that list as well.

Picture Felix trying to pitch to a mid 2000's web portal the same pieces he got to write to ... I don't know, late George W Bush's Cracked era, when like one in every 5 articles was Vietnam War apologia.

One of his main things that he wishes for a Biden win is the death of "woke writing" or whatever, but:

1. A lot of the people that defined Pre-Obama culture have moved on to other avenues, getting either dissatisfied with their work or finding their own ways of being publish their own work. You won't get, let's say, Pre-2008 Something Awful or some sort of freer mythical 4chan or whatever back.

2. His writing chops are mostly on MMA and Body Culture investigations and deep dives on DeadSpin and similar outlets. Those have been also been dying with people cheering those outlets going down as "woke libs now having to learn to do a real job". Felix is implicated as being part of that group getting mocked.

3. The closest thing to culture pieces written around that time which is also keeping the same kind of writing and mood is this guy. Picture Felix and Jon Bois attempting to pitch "Fighting In the Age Of Loneliness" or this to him.

Why do you think he is talking about pre-obama writing, I'm pretty sure Felix was just watching Running Scared 24/7 back then

Time for a little robot chauvinism!


I think the second one at least is meant to be a Trump impression. Remember when they explicitly omitted Jews from their first Holocaust Memorial Day message and everyone freaked out? (To be fair, that was still when Bannon was around and Trump's overtures to far right ethnonationalism were still young).

I don't enjoy Korn, but it takes actual courage to write and perform songs about being traumatized as a child, as opposed to the horde of white dudes with lip piercings who were just insanely angry about nothing. All those songs that were just "wouldn't it be dark and twisted if I wrote a song about killing people"

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


I've been going down the JFK rabbit hole through a 25 part interview with the author of the book "Destiny Betrayed" on Dave Emory's For the Record (Ep. 1031 up). Jesus what a story, I'd never even heard of Jim Garrison before.
