Episode notes

CNN's Michael Wolraich says he doesn't think someone should lose their career for making a joke. He argues that the people who run these big corporations basically pandering to a small minority of employees, or more like, to their perceived reaction on twitter. "This is this kind of incestuous echo chamber in which they all now exist"

Shermer and Kisin discuss: growing up in Russia • “The Talk” Russian parents give their children • What is the “West” and how do Russians view it • Should Whites feel some guilt for slavery, racism, misogyny, bigotry, etc.? • systemic racism: criminal justice, housing, employment, income, wealth • Critical Race Theory (CRT) • immigration • free, private, and public speech • how language is used to distort truth • the origin of “political correctness” • journalism vs. activism • capitalism • and how the West could be lost.
