"I’m not asking you to fight the Beast of Big Politics, Big Tech and Big Media.

Honestly I don’t know how you would. This is the end of an age, the _fin de siecle_, the period of time where the Beast is strongest because it is everywhere and invisible all at once. Big Politics, Big Tech and Big Media _are_ the water in which we swim. We are totally immersed in the common knowledge that the enemy is the Other Party, and until that common knowledge is weakened substantially, any direct challenge to the Beast is a suicide mission. A noble suicide mission, like charging a fascist machine gun nest in the Spanish Civil War, but a suicide mission all the same."

— Ben Hunt

Today we dive into an important and sobering piece. A brilliantly written one that will challenge you to reflect on something we have all been a part of, and that we attempt to be honest and see how we have been pulled into a dangerous feedback loop that will send us to a place we don't want to be.

If you end up only listening to a few episodes of the show that strike interest from the title and description... don't let this be one that gets skipped.

"Go, track how many times the word "racism" was mentioned, and around 2012, it shoots up.
Social justice shoots up.
Transgenderism shoots up.
White privilege shoots up.
This was forced on the American people.
Why are we having these conversations now?
The people did not wake up one day and decide we want to have a national conversation about chicks with dicks.
That didn't happen.
This wasn't an organic movement.
It was all of the most powerful people decided this is what we're going to talk about, and why was that?
Look, when you're failing on policy, you pivot to a culture war.
