Thank you
It’s really exciting to find a forum for interesting intellectual discussion that feels free and curious and generous and uncensored. Thank you.
Another political echo chamber
As a conservative I honestly tried listening to this so that I could get a better understanding of the leftist viewpoint.
Within 5 minutes of a random episode they cited the NY Times (an incredibly left leaning) newspaper as ‘even’ having an article that was against right leaning political decisions.
This was followed by bringing on a man who thinks he’s a women who spouted one opinion after another about their position with very very few references to actual facts or statistics about transpeople.
If I wanted this I could listen to any liberal college lecture. At least there they pretend that their college name gives the speech some type of gravitas and foundation.
And the place to start clearly...
Great discussion. Thoughtful discussion. Thought-provoking discussion. Views from inside the benevolent intellectual elite, that is representative of the vast, oppressed masses that make up the noisiest, and shrinking, plurality. I have already begun to understand the immutable laws of the human condition better. Sometimes, when you create a society that disenfranchises people because they look, believe, or think differently than you it’s not because you mean to. It’s just an unfortunate byproduct of colonial capitalism. Is that really so bad? Also, really good tunes. Nice work.
