Ya bois get down on some modern political commentary, albeit many months out of date (this podcast was originally recorded in November 2023) but a good lookback on our initial reactions to the crazy bullshit happening on the world stage happening now.
Ezra Klein came out with take when all of this was going down in October, saying the thing that makes this situation feel like we are all being constantly gaslit is that the modern media environment "makes scandalous the presentation of context," meaning there is no way to have conversations about this issue with nuance.
This really captures how we feel about the issue. It's wild that world leaders are trying to figure out the most "humane" way to kill people. Politicians will bend over backwards to make it seem like shooting a Palestinian child is the right thing to do. Ceasefire now.
