Today we discuss Epstein, Trump, MAGA, and how we know what we think we know. The actual economy exists, as does the attention economy; now Bret introduces a new term: the leverage economy. This implies that there is a commodity that we cannot see, which can be used to coerce players to act in certain ways. We see evidence of this in academia, in the news, and in politics. Discussion includes data mining, conspiracy, and whether Trump will pick up neocons as he loses some of his base.

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.
