Ep. 7: Men in Uniform

from Silent Generation Hosted by Silent Generation

Are men in crisis? What role can uniforms play in mitigating the “deaths of despair” and anomie we see in our larger society? This week Joseph and Nathan begin with a quote from Uniforms by Paul Fussell and start to address the various social and psychological effects that uniforms induce: patriotism, pride, shame, and (on a darker note) deindividuation. Amongst other things they discuss the Village People, Nathan’s cycles, chainmaille epaulets, Trump’s Space Force uniforms, and the dress code of the U.S Senate.
