Oh boy. Malcom is so right about Americans hating each other. That still surprises me after living here for almost 2 decades. That's why I don't believe any change will come from here. Most Americans, left or right, would rather see the ppl they hate suffer rather than everyone flourishing. They'll take a bad deal as long as the ppl they dislike get a worse deal. That's preferable to everyone getting a good deal for them.
If the Democrats had not cheated, Bernie would have been the candidate and would have won in 2016.
From a different direction, Malcom is here conveying a message that elites have been pushing hard: that Americans long to eat one another alive and are barely held back by a brittle shell of quickly-eroding normie convention.
I am sorry to say, because I really like Malcom's writing and find him a very sharp and funny podcast guest every time, that this is anti-populist bullshit.
Americans like one another a lot. There have been tremendous efforts to change that, and it's stupid to fall in with those efforts.
Great episode.

This is a vision of American patriotism that did not involve even one aircraft carrier:

The Nuremberg Christianity article is just great.
