After delivering a fatal existential blow to the Simpsons Bad Boy cult, Dimitri and Khalid turn their attention to the recent “Parapolitics” discourse that’s been raging on Twitter/X, and embark on a multi-part etymological investigation into the varying uses of the term. Before that, however, there’s some stale parasocial Haterade from various SJ opps that needs to be dumped down the drain…

*PREVIEW* [#198] METAPARAPOLITICS: AN INTERVENTION, Part One: Destabilizing "Parapolitics"

Dimitri and Khalid record what is probably the last SJ episode before their assassinations by apoplectic Simpsons reply guys lashing out in the throes of total ego death. 

Topics include: the dominance of “Gen X irony” in 1990s pop culture, the rise of contextual/information-based toy culture, Pynchon’s cameos, reflections on Bartmania, the modern tendency to view the Simpsons as both profound and deeply left-wing, “the purpose of a Simpsons is what it does”, the Trump trial self-immolator’s anti-Simpsons manifesto, DSA Lisa teaching us to perpetuate official LIES…

The Simpsons as reflection “of the cynicism at the heart of the neoliberal economy”, FOX’s deliberate “selling” of Gen X, Douglas Coupland’s generation-defining book, the inversion of words like “stupid” and “bad”, the centrality of the hot couch and “ironic consumption”, “the Simpsons is to Fox what Bart Simpson is to Principal Skinner”, similarities with the fourth wall-breaking WWF Attitude Era, the 1993 paper “Homer Simpson’s Eyes and the Culture of Late Nostalgia”, Time vs. “Megatrends”, Bill Cosby’s “ontological run-in with Bart” and his defeat by the “superior intelligence of the ‘toon”…

The secret etymology of the “Bad Boy” and precursors to the Bart Simpson archetype in Gilded Age America - specifically the creepy neotenous “Yellow Kid” comic strip, as well as the wildly successful “Peck’s Bad Boy” series by Wisconsin Governor George Wilbur Peck…

Bart failing to embody the Nietzschean übermensch while inoculating you to the nihilism of the neoliberal 90s, The Simpsons as information conversion spectacle, Matt Groening’s revolting foot massage on the Lolita Express, the inexplicable number of Harvard mathematics Ph.Ds on the Simpsons writing staff, and why all “floating timeline” adult-oriented ‘toons are structurally conservative and inexorably sus.

In Part Two of SEKRET MACHINE MUSIC, Dimitri and Khalid jump to the opposite end of the political spectrum to explore the fascinating life of Soviet inventor Leon Theremin, including: the intense ideological contention over Theremin’s inventions in the West, Theremin’s incredible story of showing Vladimir Ilyich Lenin how to play “The Lark” on the Thereminvox in 1920, Theremin’s move to New York City in 1927, becoming a celebrity sensation for the NYC silk toppers, losing his wife to an American Nazi, modern attempts to frame Theremin as a “Soviet Faust” who sold his soul to Stalin in order to keep inventing, his friendship with synesthesia enthusiast Albert Einstein, Theremin’s employment at RCA and early television innovations, getting married to African-American dancer Lavinia Williams, his mysterious disappearance from NYC at the start of World War 2, being “a bit of a rezident” in New York, Armand Hammer and the AMTORG Trading Corp, spying on all the silk toppers, spending WW2 in a top secret Soviet science gulag, creating “The Thing” powerless surveillance device, and Leon Theremin’s long-awaited triumphant admission to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union in 1991.
