Increasingly, mind-numbingly woke opinions

2024-01-22

BTBrulz

Used to love this show, the global perspectives were great, but lately it’s become as predictable as the mainstream media. The guests seem oblivious that their criticism of anything slightly conservative is bad. They constantly talk up how wonderful places like Japan, Switzerland, and Mexico are (completely homogenous societies) but demand we all be more woke and diverse.
