This is a clip from my recent episode - Aftershow 12: It was Always About Civil Rights In this clip we talk about the politicization of things like the global pandemic, the genocide in Gaza - these issues should really be large enough to break through across the political spectrum, yet… they don’t. We are starting to see some people on the right speak out against the genocide more recently, but it’s a small number. We also touch upon Sam Harris and his promotion of ‘race science’.

Generally kinkshaming is not great, but when it comes to fascist and rightwing kinks, I think we can make an exception.

An impromptu conversation Chrissy Stroop and I had following our previous chat about Transphobia in the New Atheist scene. I decided to record it and turn it into a Bonus mini ep. We talk about what Pro Natalism really means and how it’s spreading among the self-professed Rational types online. Radicalized Ex-Muslim Sarah Haider comes up, as well as the topic of how the ‘pro natalist’ scene often openly discusses hitting children as a valid disciplining tactic.

Each day there are at least 72.4 new disasters caused by the Trump administration. It seems like Trump and his billionaire N@zi pal Elon, are intentionally accelerating the collapse of the US and world politics as we know it. Who could have predicted they’d hand racist teenage internet trolls access to sensitive government information? Well…. A lot of people who have watched the darker corners of the internet could have warned about some of the stuff we’re seeing now. The presence of similar ant...

What a wild first few days it’s been. Trump’s second term began with his best bud and right hand man extending that hand in a full on H!tler salute. Twice. Some of the voices rushing to defend Elon’s gesture, have also been some of those most active in weaponizing accusations of antisemitism against leftists who protested Israel’s genocide. In the most bizarre way, this moment has show how little some Israel supporters care about actual antisemitism. Join me for an in-depth look at the contradic...
