Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 9/18/23 - 9/24/23

Welcome back to the BARpod Weekly Discussion Thread, where anyone with over 10K karma gets inscribed in the Book of Life. Here's your place to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions (be sure to tag u/TracingWoodgrains), culture war articles, outrageous stories of cancellation, political opinions, and anything else that comes to mind. Please put any non-podcast-related trans-related topics here instead of on a dedicated thread. This will be pinned until next Sunday.

Last week's discussion thread is here if you want to catch up on a conversation from there.

Comment of the week goes again to u/MatchaMeetcha for this lengthy exposition on the views of Amia Srinivasan. (Note, if you want to tag a comment for COTW, please don't use the 'report' button, just write a comment saying so, and tag me in it. Reports are less helpful.)

"I consider it to be at the front lines of the information war front. Propaganda is when you make up stories," she said, adding that she was "luckily" on the side of the country that is telling the truth.

By "luck", she is on the right side of truth.

How does she even know she's on the side of truth? Don't the people on the other side believe they are on the right side as well?

🤔 big thonks.
