About How did so-called progressive politics become so regressive?
Has the world gone mad? How can so many so-called progressive politicians seek to cancel freedom of speech, history, gender, and reality? In this series, I will give simple, logical explanations about why so-called progressive political movements like BLM, MeToo have been bad for society and undermined the causes they purport to represent. I'll explain why these movements have promoted victimhood and cancellation of truth, but I'll also provide positive solutions and explain what democracy should look like to create a healthy society. If you're looking for a podcast that makes you feel better about believing in democratic principles, free speech and reality, then this is the one for you!

7. The Madness of MeToo, part 2
In part 2, we challenge the idea of toxic masculinity versus toxic feminism, highlighting how the latter has led to an adversarial society. The narrative of Me Too and similar movements is scrutinised for marginalising moderates and creating divisions rather than fostering unity.

6. The Madness of MeToo, part 1
The MeToo movement has taken a regressive turn, asserting that instead of championing women's rights, MeToo has overlooked genuine women's rights abuses. They criticise MeToo for focusing solely on issues in Western democracies while disregarding atrocities against women in regions like the Middle East and Africa. While historical feminism aimed at gender equality, modern feminism has strayed into extremism due to the significant gains in women's rights achieved in the Western world.
In this episode:
MeToo is not interested in women’s rights.
Why MeToo is not interested in women’s rights.
How the movement has undermined women being happy.

In this episode:
Why have “progressives” lost interest in the basic principles of justice?
If a white cop kills a black criminal, is this evidence of systemic racism?

4. The true meaning of tolerance of diversity.
In this episode, we look at the concept of tolerance, exploring its true meaning and application in today's political landscape. The battleground for political control has always centred around influencing the beliefs of the population, as belief is a powerful force that can drive people to extreme actions. A culture of tolerance thrives in a society that values individual freedom over power and control.
In this episode:
What does tolerance mean?
Why are the most vocal supporters of "tolerance of diversity" so opposed to tolerating diversity of opinion?
Why are the "champions of tolerance" persecuting everyone who disagrees with them?

How are these principles supposed to work in a democracy?
Why do “progressive movements” find these democratic ideals “offensive?”

3. When does freedom of speech become "discrimination?
We discuss the complex landscape of modern discourse, emphasising the shift towards prioritising feelings over objective reality. This shift has led to heightened division and animosity within society. The promotion of resentment and disunity among minority groups, fueled by a focus on subjective feelings, has alienated moderates and heightened societal tensions.
In this episode:
What do words like "hate speech," "discrimination," and "offensive" mean?
Why is the promotion of feelings over facts so dangerous to society?
Should democracy allow people to “offensive” opinions?

1. Introduction: The return of McCarthyism

In this episode:
