Wednesday Pick...Western Chauvinism.

TheyWillAlwaysFindTheir
AudienceVille


Following up on yesterday's pick...

Just how does one switch from teaching hipsters how to dress to teaching the alt right to troll?

Well, all you have to do is find a bunch of young fellows who say things like:

"We were drinking, we did cocaine, we got tatoos..."

Then you give them a few silly rituals that amount to an initiation and tell them that they are now over the whole race thing and are also pro-gun, libertarian (except on immigration) and pro-dude.

Oh, and throw in a thing called 'no wanks' together with a funnel full of faux persecution complexes and, bingo, bango, bongo, you've got yourself a movement of very fine fellows of paleolithic pridefulness.

What could possibly go wrong?

'This American Life' explains and illuminates.

And, by all means, please feel free to throw in your own daily pick suggestions in the comments to keep me/us away from the  omnipresent binge button cavalcade as much as is possible....
