“The title of this episode should be called: “do better things only if practical.”
The beginning of the show was really sad and depressing as the hosts complained about rando’s on Twitter demanding more out of politics. If anything they should be mad at politicians for lowering the bar of our expectations. “Only do better things if it’s practical?!?” Give me a break. So many examples in history where the right thing to do was not “practical” or “the good first step” but people fought for it because it was right and necessary (civil rights, labor laws, women’s suffrage, etc..).
Personally, it bothered me how dismissive Jeremy was to the demand of lowering carbon emissions because it was “impractical.” My dude, this is again one of those things that yes it is difficult but necessary for the survival of the species. Might as well fight for it.
”Power concedes nothing without a demand.” Those annoying Twitter rando’s demanding a better world.. your ire should be aimed at those with the power not people demanding more (yes I know at the end of the day Twitter noise is just that... noise but I am also referring to activists and organizers out there actually trying to demand more).
Normally I really like the sin cast but your political takes are pretty mid.”
