Personally not a fan of Joe Rogan. He's big on conspiracies. Protests in America have all been planned forty years earlier by Marxist Soviets? I mean ...
Sorry , I can’t make it all the way through because JR is just too stupid in that quintessential American ( and I am an American) way! Andrew you remain one of my go to thinkers on all subjects. I can always count on your intellectual integrity !!
Thank you for saying precidely what I was thinking Catya as a non American. He's a bit too sure he's always right, a conspiracist, not the sharpest mind, not personable, and very America-centric.
Philosophically, I agree with Andrew & Joe Rogan. Yes the Democrats did pay individuals to attend rallies and ‘encourage the audience to applaud etc. But, to be fair, the Republicans employed the same tactics.
I also, in hindsight, agree that the Soviets and today the Russians and Chinese try to effect the elections in all G7 countries. So did Franco in Spain. My point being that all sides of the spectrum use similar tactics.
Our elected politicians have to be re elected every four years. The policies they enact are geared to show bene fit before the four years expire. Thus essential services, healthcare in particular, tend to be ignored, as building hospitals and qualifying doctors take longer. The military is forgotten about until a crisis - Ukraine comes about and we are helpless to support them.
I also find it telling that politicians of all persuasions do not use pronouns or publicly sharing jail cells etc. or support their own boys playing in women’s sports etc. for fear of being assaulted and threatened. It is the likes of Andrew and countless other individuals who brave the mobs and wonder why the police or universities do not intervene . Inclusive is not inclusive at all . Unfortunately by the time we wake up to the realities of a dysfunctional health care and an exclusion based government, it is very late in the game.
In Canada, even Conservative politicians are too timid to take on the mob.
It is so very puzzling that the woke left hates "white" culture and believes it to be the source of all evil but then insists that productions based on it, be cast with blameless ethnic minorities as main protagonists.
Hmmmmm, this is gonna be good!
It was brilliant!
Yes, it was. I'm not too sure how they got to talking about cyclops and elephant skulls though.
Me neither. Very interesting though, especially the elephant skull. It was a great podcast to listen to on this dull, dreary and very wet day.
Saved, looking forward to watching it!

Great conversation!
Does the BBC also have a Hamas/Iranian Regime desk?
