Episode 29 | ‪Connor Anderson | Has the Left Lost the Art of Debate?
Donald Trump's emphatic win in the latest Presidential Election has sent waves of shock and also of "hate to say I told ya so" across the world. The latter reaction comes from a large contingent of people, including on the left, who, frankly, saw it coming. London-based animal rights activist Connor Anderson returns to the podcast for this episode to give his takes on what has gone so wrong for the left in the culture war over the last few years. Staunchly on the left himself politically, Connor is one of the many left-leaning people in the vegan community who has become disillusioned with the modern left and how it engages in "debate" these days. We take a deep-dive into modern leftist rhetoric and delve into just what is going so wrong for the left side of the culture war. _____ Connor's compilation of "leftist wet-wipes": Sunny Hostin (The View) https://x.com/HustusMichael/status/1854201466103410994 Screaming woman in car https://www.tiktok.com/@lexiiivlogs_/video/7434156965909007658?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7396334723511272992 University of Oregon Assistant Director https://x.com/OldRowOfficial/status/1854513579711496216 I want bad things to happen to you https://x.com/tpbreaking/status/1854648631275524214/video/1 Friend voted for Donald Trump https://www.tiktok.com/@janedoe11918/video/7434174116489366815?lang=en Report ‘Latinos for Trump’ to ICE https://x.com/HotSpotHotSpot/status/1854686674069995614/video/1 Mother tells kids that Trump won https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1854329249815015880

Episode 28 | NEO 10Y | Reclaiming Intersectionality
NEO 10Y holds intersectional and progressive values, but believes intersectionality is being wrongly implemented into animal rights spaces by various activists, and comes on to talk with me about the double-standards he sees. We discuss "wokeism", "white veganism", and if spirituality is indeed the enemy of veganism, among other things.
