This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.houseofstrauss.comI’ve known Matt Bilinsky for years, knew he had an audience, but didn’t quite understand how big a deal he’d become. Today Matt schools me on how he blew up in the Instagram sphere, but this isn’t the meat of our conversation. Instead, I’m asking this newcomer to right-coded media spaces to explain how and why the Online Right went crazy over Israel/Jews. Yes, to repeat, the conversation touches on Israel, which is a topic I’m wary of for reasons discussed on the pod. Topics include but aren’t limited to…* JEWS* Instagram was jock power invented by nerds* You succeed in the mediums that fit you best* Matt rebuts idea that Twitter monetization is to blame for rise in antisemitism* What motivates Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens? * Why Trump’s victory led some on the right to turn towards Israel* How big is the red shift among Jews* The right’s crackup over Israel/Jews is CRAZY* The appeal of conspiracy theories * Why I think I never got invited back on Megyn Kelly’s show
