Review ： Trevor Noah Podcast Family Farm Idealism

Objective description of U.S.A. culture that idealizes family farm.

Family farm individualism?

Vs just farm?

Paraphrasing:

Persona Trevor Noah is saying the feel of ancestors coming from a community village where shared ownership resources, but he says he sees in the world now an almost maniacal individualism based off of a family owning a farm.

Ball Punyin note:

Like a historical New England farm, where parents and kids share it and one family owns it? Like ancestors of those from New England farms? Or, like a southern plantation where a family owns it?

Note: Persona Noah doesn’t go much into the details of what kind of farm. I presume on purpose. So it may not matter.

However I feel like there are undertones of race here. And knowing Noah’s persona, always the lens of race is relevant. So there is that here too I feel.

I, Ball Punyin, like to hear persona Noah's perspective, because it is very objective and shines a light on a part of USA culture.

My other note:

Rural Urban divide strikes again?

Rural Urban divide strikes again?

Noah doesn’t say that he is seeing it through the lens of rural urban divide. So that is me adding that lens and transferring that onto listening to this episode.

I get what he means.

Over the decades, I have known multiple separate people, who do display a positive idealistic feeling regarding a family farm.

But my additional note is. Rural. Urban. Divide. Strikes. Again.  Because folks in rural areas have, or used to have, family farms, or family homesteads.

Whereas folks in cities, didn’t farm as much, instead they worked likely in some industry business or some commercial business.

However that is also not totally what persona Noah is saying, he is also saying it is based on racial divide too.

In conclusion, in this podcast episode persona Noah objectively describes part of USA culture that idealizes individualism, specifically manifesting around an idea of a family farm, also based on racial divide.
