How To Survive Thanksgiving & LGBT Politics - Scott Capurro

Scott Capurro is a comedian, writer and an actor. I needed some advice for how to survive my first thanksgiving in America and also to try and make sense of what I've been seeing since I've been out here. Scott started shouting about the British but I think he tried his best to help. Expect to learn why Scott got banned from Australian TV, why the Women's March sent out a problematic email, how the internal politics of the LGBT community are messed up, why a focus on race is causing people to ignore real issues of class, the best way to avoid causing a ruckus during the holidays and much more...

EPISODE SUMMARY

In this episode of Modern Wisdom, featuring Chris Williamson and Scott Capurro, How To Survive Thanksgiving & LGBT Politics - Scott Capurro explores thanksgiving, Homelessness, and LGBT Politics: Comedy Meets Cultural Critique Comedian Scott Capurro joins Chris Williamson to riff on American Thanksgiving, dysfunctional families, and the darker history behind the holiday, using aggressive, self-deprecating humor. They pivot into serious territory, examining U.S. homelessness, the medical system, lack of social safety nets, and how tech wealth coexists with street poverty. The conversation then explores internal conflicts within the LGBT umbrella, cancel culture, social media outrage, and how comedy is constrained by modern sensitivities. Throughout, Capurro contrasts U.S. and UK cultural attitudes, arguing that class, not race or sexuality alone, sits at the heart of many current tensions.
