Episode 100: The Run Up to the U.S Election
Manage episode 448498747 series 3428348
The 2024 U.S Election results will be known in just 36 - 48 hours time. We discuss how acrimonious the run up has been, and how dominant online discourse has become in shaping political outcomes. We cover the new normalcy of openly wishing violence on your political opponents or those who differ ideologically to you, how the online sphere has fostered petulance as politics, and why assuming everyone who disagrees with you is stupid is a bad idea. Plus, the UK’s predilection for teaching children gruesome histories, Ben Shapiro on Jewish whiteness, moral incontinence, and whether we should only be nice about people after they die. Towards the end of the episode we give our predictions on whether Trump or Kamala will win and, of course, the mass global fallout from the tragic state murder of Peanut the squirrel.
