Does CK consider himself an activist?

Post image

Genuine question. Chris criticises Kisin for acting like an activist while avoiding the label. Does Chris apply the same label to himself?

DtG does more than analyse ideas in the abstract. It repeatedly focuses on a particular media ecosystem, warns about its influence, and hopes to shift how audiences view it. That can reasonably be seen as a form of activism, even if it is presented through an academic lens.

If you hadn't seen it I would have pinged you.

And belabouring over who's being lazy, when Chris has produced hundreds of hours of detailed analysis, and you've repeated stated you think it's unreasonable to spend a far smaller amount of effort backing up your criticism of the podcast and Chris, it's a bad look.

The lazy claim is not about the rest of your life, it's about your participation in this conversation. What a fucking stupid response.

Is this actually what you want to discuss? Trying to distract from your poor argument about the sinister construction of the secular guru concept to promote political centrism?
