What happens when we commodify nature? The natural world is not doing well, and is not put here to do with as we want. How can we learn to appreciate nature, and environment, without jumping to conclusions about what is happening, or picking sides in an ideological battle that has nothing to do with actual wild nature? Also: how are DOGE cuts affecting scientists? Four people profiled in Science magazine reveal that some good science is being hit with chaos and uncertainty—but also that a lot of “science” funding that has been cut was suspect, at best.

Looks like Jimmy Dore didn't have a problem defining Woke Right with 100x more clarity than James Lindsay. Neither did Dave Smith.
Apparently all you have to do is swap "racism, sexism, and homophobia" with "anti-Semitism" and run the same playbook. Censorship, cancellation, firing, guilt tripping etc. flow freely after that.
Bear in mind, these people like Dave Smith and Jimmy Dore, they don't hate Jews - Dave IS one - they just hate the government of Israel. Which is easily as diabolical as our own, fair.
