I've never heard a single Trump supporter adequately address these issues, regardless of how much 'whataboutism' came first and was acknowledged.

It took me 20 years to finally hear people say that Clinton is a creep. It will happen (but unfortunately not on the appropriate timeline).

I actually think you'd attract more traffic with a better description, because I enjoyed that podcast way more than I expected to. I could relate to pretty much everything you said. Thanks for listening and thanks for the encouragement. I made the description vague because I want people to actually...

I agree with you that seditiously storming the Capitol is the very worst of American politics. Nothing compares. It's an existential threat to our democracy if it's allowed or dismissed.

BUT, I'm willing to play along (even though you keep asking me to defend arguments I'm not making). I would define "woke" as "a religious-like pursuit of diversity, equity, and inclusion to the detriment of all other virtues." That's much better than I was expecting. Good on you. Great, I'm assumin...

And as a follow up: are the detriments to "other virtues" worth risking American democracy? I HIGHLY recommend "The Righteous Mind" by Jonathan Haidt. The "other" virtues that are abandoned are things like individual liberty, trust, loyalty, and purity. Pursuing ANY virtue to the exclusion of other...

Equality and Equity are often confused. I meant "Equity". As can be seen here

Do a search for D. E. I. and it will always include equity which means "equal outcomes" whereas equality means "equal opportunities"

If you want to be taken seriously by people who have many other interesting and valuable things to do than to watch some guy they have never heard of talking on screen, WRITE IT DOWN. I have developed rapid reading skills due to my work, and in 5 minutes or so of skimming the text of your talk I wo...

Tell you what, Tim. If you can actually provide a sufficient definition of "woke ideology" I'll give your podcast a try. However, the definition must be coherent and represent some aspect of reality. (I know that makes the task almost impossible, but I'd be interested in your attempt to tell me wha...

"Democrats" never said anything about believing all women, full stop. That's a silly Right Wing talking point that smacks of whataboutism involving an allegation that took place decades before the "mee too" movement. I wasn't saying X did something bad so it doesn't matter that Y did something bad....

Or, at least provide a playback speed control. : )

1.5x or 1.75x will deliver the same information at a substantial time savings for busy folks.

There's a speed control on the embedded player on my site. I sound much wittier at 1.5.
