Hinge Points Episode 6: Let's Roll
🕑 Added 2021-12-10 22:00:04 +0000 UTCMatt and Danny Bessner, from the American Prestige podcast, analyze one of the most important hinge points of their young lives: the September 11, 2001 attacks. They examine how 9/11 provided meaning to Americans after a decade spent searching for it, how it solved the crisis of liberalism that permeated US politics during "the end of history," how the Internet shaped the response to 9/11, and how things might have been different if 9/11 never happened.

Post Vietnam art had less to do with war more to do with psychedelic movement & black Americans still not getting rights. Post 9/11 we got Nu Metal - Is ThAt NoT gOoD eNoUgH fOr YoU?

That’s funny, we need the state to save us from politics

Is this the last Hinge Points ep?
Many such cases!
When Matt says around the 19:30 mark that “every terror attack afterward, coincidentally, turned out to be an entrapment plot by the FBI”, what is he referring to here? A specific event or multiple?

I'd hedge my money on hegemony. Heck, even hedgehogs!

Can someone tell Matt that he has to stop saying “hegemony” so often. It’s out of control.
Adam Murphy
Good shit. I've spent a lot of time thinking about a world where 9/11 doesn't happen.
