E409. It's Not Left vs. Right Anymore — It's Sane vs. Crazy | Peachy Keenan - Walk-Ins Welcome

Bridget Phetasy sits down with Peachy Keenan — author of Domestic Extremist and her new book Supervillains: Architects of America's Decline — for a wide-ranging conversation about who's actually driving the country's decline and why the people trying to stay normal are the real heroes. Peachy makes the case that the most damaging villains aren't the famous ones but the "female liberation theologists" peddling what she calls divorce porn — the Eat Pray Love, Glennon Doyle genre that tells women their boring husband and their kids are the thing holding them back. They get into why the grass is almost never greener, why the fight now feels like sane vs. crazy instead of left vs. right, and why Gen X women turned out so based (a theory involving both childhood neglect and the zero-fucks power of menopause). Plus: the manosphere and looksmaxxing takeover of teenage boys, why teenage girls have checked out of politics entirely, the Sydney Sweeney hypocrisy, H-1B visas and the hollowing out of the middle class, California's ongoing collapse, and how to raise resilient kids in a world you can't predict.
