I am a little behind w Baris podcasts. I enjoyed a lot of the Junger conversation BUT Honestly (pun intended) my jaw dropped when he make the ludicrous statement that Republicans were “especially” to blame for weaponizing political division.
The Left controls virtually all of the institutions that form public debate and opinion from the media to the academy to cultural and certainly the government.
He is simply delusional in making that statement and makes me question other things he might say or write about.
As I write this, former CIA agents are admitting what we already know regarding their willingness to support Biden over the laptop. Further no rationale thinking person believes the FBI was not partisan in its pursuit of Trump and connecting him to Russia. Or their lack of interest in pursuing Hillary or Biden for enriching themselves or their families. I guess for Junger that isn’t weaponizing.
The cancellation of people with beliefs that were “mainstream” 10 years ago is uniquely a progressive response. Whatever republicans might do gets magnified beyond anything proportional.
Yes January 6 was terrible. But so were the Antifa and BLM rioters in 2020. For those keeping score, the 2020 riots were multiple times more violent (deaths) and costly than Jan 6. It’s not even close. Look it up. And for those who reflexively say that our democracy is at stake were the same people who invaded the Madison Wisconsin statehouse for several days. These are also the same people who allow falsehoods like “hands up don’t shoot” or “mostly peaceful “ persevere. Also the same who stand silently when the 1619 author says something like “it’s not destruction if it can be fixed w insurance”. Lovely.
