Patrons Only: Fireworks Discourse, Riot Discourse, And The "Anti-SJW" Pipeline, With A Dash Of Pedophilia
Katie tells Jesse about an unconscionably inconsiderate act on the part of her neighbors. This leads into a discussion of the interesting parallel between Fireworks Discourse and Riot Discourse. Then the hosts answer an email from a listener, launching a conversation about the "anti-SJW" pipeline to the far right and how Blocked and Reported can hopefully clog it a bit. (Oh and also there's this whole thing about pedophilia and hebephilia and Jeffrey Epstein but seriously don't worry about it.)
