WTW42: Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Tom MacDonald All Walk Into a Grift...

Part 1! After *Rap Icon* Ben Shapiro made his simultaneous debut and retirement in Tom MacDonald's "Facts" last month, Jordan Peterson realized what the public needed was an incredibly overwrought and bull shitty analysis of these very simple lyrics. Before we get to that, though, we take a look at the characters. Who is Tom MacDonald and how much does he suck? Could he have ever just been a normal musician? We all know Ben Shapiro, but do you know about his claimed musicianship? That's the subject of a BONUS, look for that later. And finally, Jordan Peterson himself. Is he still a clinical psychologist? Is any amount of authoritarian tolerance enough for him to be beautiful? And more! Feel free to email us at lydia@seriouspod.com or thomas@seriouspod.com!

Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'
