Appreciate your insight as always, but am disappointed to hear you throw out that Hasan Piker is saying antisemitic things. Actually look at what he says, dudes. If you listen to him for like 2 minutes or actually read these quotes, it’s easy to understand that he is being willfully misinterpreted. You don’t need to play into that. His whole point is that conflating Jews with the state of Israel is antisemitic, which is not controversial.
A fan of the show and moderate - but providing moral and ethical reasons that other moderates can't hold their well founded beliefs is poisonous for moderation.
Half of each episode is ads. Too many pounds of flesh after Vox purchase 🤙
