Backbone Radio with Matt Dunn - November 20, 2022 - HR 3
The Hall Monitor Mindset. So many political commentators seem most comfortable when fulfilling the "hall monitor function" in our discourse. We explore their fear-based passion for scolding those who step outside the narrative guardrails, who question authority, who introduce unsettling perspectives on political power. Meanwhile, our extended diagnosing of "Minds on Propaganda" in this screen-based world. How intellect and emotion can be constricted and made unnatural from overlong inhabiting artificial, man-made environments. Imagine metaphorically living inside Edvard Munch's "The Scream" painting -- and not being able to find your way out. Contrast such with the natural world of unlimited ranges, variables and possibilities. Perhaps a great deal of our discourse emanates from minds that are unconsciously experiencing the effects of propaganda-induced claustrophobia. Lashing out in despair. Plus, details about Merrick Garland's desperate appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith. Not a good look, Democrats once more to the well. WEF Emmanuel Macron of France says "we need a single global order." Praise for Trump as the only entity to stand up to the Globalist Power Cabal. We say no thanks to a future of living in pods, eating bugs and owning nothing. Also, host vignettes from a full day at the indoor Swim Pentathlon in Thornton. With Great Listener Calls.
