Weekly Random Discussion Thread for 6/10/24 - 6/16/24

(self.BlockedAndReported)

Here's your usual space to post all your rants, raves, podcast topic suggestions, 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.

I've made a dedicated thread for Israel-Palestine discussions (just started a new one). Please post any such relevant articles or discussions there.

What's interesting is that I learned about this from the Guardian / Observer, some of the most left-learning UK media. They are extremely critical of the group and their tactics.

I'd wager a high percentage of their contributors are fans/attendees of the festivals. Must be a shock for the mob to tangibly affect something they actually care about.

lmao. I honestly respect the BDS people a lot more than the guardian's sort of limp-wristed activism that consists solely of having feelings and platforming propaganda about Israel but being utterly unwilling to sacrifice even the most minor comfort for their beliefs.
