I’ll be hosting a new episode of Conversations in Year Zero — Spotify vs the Vertically Integrated Messaging Apparatus with @Jacob__Siegel 10:00 AM ET / 7:00 AM PT. Join us! callin.com/link/qvdVkQarEj
@Jacob__Siegel Read this in advance of the talk tabletmag.com/sections/news/…

@jacob_siegel's piece linked above frames Rogan's cluster of personality traits as a portal onto a political realignment that the two-party system is not configured to represent Image
Here’s a recording of the talk callin.com/link/QQZJDjMUbU
I agree with @Jacob__Siegel that the worst thing Rogan did was let Jon Jones come on to launder his reputation after being busted for PED's and fleeing the scene of an accident after hitting a pregnant woman in his car

People employed in the nonprofit activist world are surrounded by wealthy white inheritors so it feeds a sense of entitlement consistent with the tenets of a ideology of guilt and reparation to get their own taste of what white inheritors take for granted

Only the 24 percent matters to the people who decide abcnews.go.com/US/majority-am…
This is just proof of how benighted the supermajority of the country is, underscoring the urgency to thwart that will as explicitly and openly as possible
The whole point of defining "I think the best should get the job" as a microaggression and asserting that "colorblind racism" is a thing and then forcing training spreading these memes onto every public and private institution in America was to change this attitude

"Inclusive excellence" -- reality generated much funnier and more insidious euphemisms than Orwell could dream up

There are entities within the vertically integrated messaging apparatus who will try to portray SCOTUS striking down affirmative action or "trans athlete rights" as the new Dred Scott and push for re-run of the 1850's -- that's when the rubber hits the road
The American public will then be faced with a choice between the will of its vertically integrated messaging apparatus that encompasses all the great and good and its own moral intuitions about what is actually an urgent moral cause and what is an astroturfed one
The equity agenda will be on the ballot and before the courts in the years to come. Many who do not support it but merely run interference on its behalf will have to declare themselves.
