      I’m okay with skeptical and verifying but he doesn’t challenge all his guests equally. I’m not saying he should be perfect, but there are some really far out ideas that need more questioning before I’m personally satisfied.

        His show is entertainment first and foremost. That means glorifying stupid bullshit for the entertainment value of it.

        Most hard science is boring. Most fringe theory thinking is dramatic and thrilling.

        I will also say it’s 2023, some things are past even being sceptical about.

        If you bring on a flatearther you aren’t being sceptical, you’re a moron.

        he is a cunt, literally lied about how he heard they are putting cat litter into classes so that kids eho identify as cats have somewhere to go, then when called out on it that it’s bullshit he just said it’s a joke or something.

        the real reason litter was being put into classes was so that if a school shooting happens kids have somewhere to go and it doesn’t go everywhere

        it’s covered in Some more News’ Moral panic video

          Do Americans not realize how fucked up their country sounds to the rest of us when they do this kind of shit instead of controlling you-know-what?

            We absolutely do. Our country has been captured and held hostage by a small minority of selfish morons.

              Gun control is tricky; studies that I’ve seen show that a large majority want “dune kind of gun control” but any discussion of what that entails starts to get less popular in a hurry.

              I’ve found that many otherwise reasonable people get upset really quickly when the subject even gets brought up.

      I love that though. I want to hear these wack jobs talk. I don’t listen to get smarter, just like I don’t go to McDonalds for a fine cooked meal.
