The two least popular candidates in history are days away from their first on stage showdown, and one of them is terrified of sharks.

And in France, shit is wild in the lead up to replacing their entire national assembly.

Section 230 is not a special privilege for big tech, it enables third party participation in communication that even big tech, with its deep pockets, wouldn't risk liability to host, let alone smaller platforms, which couldn't afford one lawsuit.

Section 230 also doesn't encourage platforms to have no community guidelines, with a wild west of social media, but the opposite. It helped correct the liability of a platform, so that it could moderate content, such as hate speech, without being considered a publisher. Therefore, it doesn't require the platform, big or small, to have a totally hands-off approach in order to be defensible against liability.

The question I had going into this episode was about the asymmetrical reactions between the pro-Palestinian protesters and the pro-Israel and Zionist protesters. (Those seem to be subtly distinct groups so I’m trying to think of them as separate but related.)

I don't have any solid answers but there seems to be something there. 

I know the Zionists keep saying that all the Palestine supporters are dumb, brainwashed, communists. And the criticism of the pro-Israel counter-protesters is that they're all bloodthirsty, colonizing, child-murderers.

That's what's been on my mind while organizing this episode.

Last episode, we talked about some extremely creepy people who think White people should be having as many kids as possible. This time around, we’re gonna start off by talking about some people who’re coming up with ways to justify killing them.

We’re not talking about people doing it themselves. These guys don’t need to get their hands dirty with actual murder. They want to let the law do it.

We’re talking about the kids. A lot of people have ideas about the kids.

And some people think that we should be having a whole lot of them.

We're teaming up with Bradley Plaisier and Robert Skvarla to talk about the show that 30 years ago introduced the normies to alien abductions, secret government programs, and global conspiracies.

Somehow, the X-Files was exactly the right show for its time. It harnessed the untapped cynicism and suspicion of the 1990s and assured us that there really might be answers out there if you know where to look and who not to trust.

Someone is radicalizing our kids.

Who is behind this? What are their motives? There appears to be an unidentified individual or an entire group of them who are actively working to radicalize our precious, vulnerable students. This is a serious issue that requires immediate investigation and action to protect our youth and ensure their safety.

Or it could be that they just managed to get an education and are acting accordingly.
