This is too perfect. I wrote this today before watching the episode. I think there's a relationship between today's ugliness and the Dada movement of 100 years ago. https://open.substack.com/pub/swmurphy/p/annees-laides?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android

I totally agree with your observations about Matt Walsh’s POV, which I see as the tendency among religiously conservative commentators to romanticize the institution of marriage as the total answer to current cultural problems. Families are great until they aren’t, and a lotta lotta lotta times they aren’t. I came from a very traditional marriage (born 1953), and though I appreciate my parents for caring for me, their marriage did not result in mature happy marriages in us kids. The problem is deeper than the institutions, and I think that’s something commenters like Matt Walsh don’t get. It’s always the people, never the tool.
