KVETCH: Pulp Fiction & Memeification of War Department

Jon Liedtke explores the "Tarantino-isation" of the U.S. Pentagon, questioning whether the War Department has shifted from a serious government institution into a high-octane content farm for social media clout. By drawing parallels between the cinematic flair of Pulp Fiction and Pete Hegseth’s delivery at the pulpit, the video examines the "memeification" of war and the potential risks this "political theater" poses to international credibility. Framed from a Canadian perspective, the piece serves as a sobering look at how domestic "dopamine hits of spite" can create ripples of anxiety for global allies in an increasingly unstable 2026.
