Dissident OrthodoxyCancel Culture is a jokeJerran is back this week to discuss literally nobody's favorite topic...cancel culture. We're only going to talk about this once so listen up! We get into why White, male, Evangelical leaders, in particular have no leg to stand on when they cry about being "canceled" (looking at you Owen Strachen, Al Mohler, et. al.). We also discuss the so-called "cancellation" of Dr. Seuss, why that's mainly nonsense but a good idea (because, you know, the cancelled books are definitely racist). Like the content?

We cover a few recent articles (linked below) that help us detail the shortcomings of Vox's "explaining the news" approach and unearth the ideology beneath its neutral surface. We talk the politics of belief, Ezra Klein's straight-A aesthetic, and Matt Yglesias' boring burrito drivel. We also struggle to name-drop de Certeau, and then lay bare why Hillary was deemed "more electable." Nathan J.
