If Walter Kirn writes another novel.
Kirn (& TCW) do not give a shit about "elites," they are annoyed at how the world is changing and have turned their low-stakes pet peeves into their entire worldview.
Kirn admits this! Pretending he's against "elites" is just a way to convince himself that this is about ideals and not grievance.

Matt Taibbi conveniently hasn't posted anything about Trump invading Venezuela, but his podcast co-host Walter Kirn has, and he supports it, calling Venezuela (and Greenland) the "new Reich".

Walter Kirn is a Free Press columnist, which means we can probably expect his deep thoughts on "60 Minutes" soon.

If you're unfamiliar with Walter Kirn, he wrote Up In The Air, and he's completely fucking nuts.

We have had 10,000 of these pieces since 2016, each of them pretending people like Kirn are some kind of ideological enigma worthy of endless consideration and good faith.
No, he's just an old guy with old-guy resentments and an internet connection!

Matt Taibbi's co-host, Walter Kirn, compares Democrats who oppose Trump's immigration crackdowns to Southern politicians who opposed school integration in the 1960s, and equates the National Guard protecting the Little Rock 9 to the National Guard abducting immigrants now.

Walter Kirn chooses to wash that taste away with Jack Daniels.
It appears that the Matt Taibbi-Walter Kirn podcast breakup or trial separation wasn't mutual and amicable. Basically, Kirn got blindsided by Taibbi and was left with a bitter taste in his mouth, one that no amount of oral rinse can swish away.
Another beautiful bromance, kaput.
