Are We In A Post-Shame Society? | Elliot Ackerman (PT. 2)

À propos de cet épisode

<p>What happens when politics becomes performance and politicians become influencers? In today’s Part 2 episode, former Marine and NYT bestselling author Elliot Ackerman joins Ryan to talk about the idea that “everything’s a racket,” the collapse of institutional trust, and why restraint used to define real leadership. They talk about how cancel culture morphed into shamelessness as a superpower, why we might be living in a post-shame society, Ambrose Bierce’s wild literary exit, and why modern media feels more like professional wrestling than journalism.</p><br><p>Elliot Ackerman is the <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of the novels <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=elliot+ackerman*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>2054</em></a>, <a href="https://www.thepaintedporch.com/search?type=product&amp;q=elliot+ackerman*" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>2034</em></a>, <em>Halcyon, Red Dress in Black and White</em>, <em>Waiting for Eden</em>, <em>Dark at the Crossing</em>, and <em>Green on Blue</em>, as well as the memoirs <em>The Fifth Act</em>: <em>America’s End in Afghanistan</em> and <em>Places and Names</em>: <em>On War</em>, <em>Revolution</em>, <em>and Returning</em>.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Elliot’s books have been nominated for the National Book Award, the Andrew Carnegie Medal in both fiction and nonfiction, and the Dayton Literary Peace Prize, among others.
