    Here’s the final part of my discussion with Canadian film critic and journalist Corey Atad.

    In pt 2 of my conversation with Canadian journalist Corey Atad, we discuss the politicization and weaponization of antisemitism in more detail. We talk through a personal disagreement we had online regarding Corey’s characterization of journalist Mehdi Hasan, and the weight of such charges, especially against minorities & people of Muslim background—in a political climate like today’s.

    Dr. David S. Smith joins me for an in-depth conversation about the manosphere & inceldom. We discuss different subgroups in the manosphere, (Incels [Involuntary Celibates]. MGTOWs [Men Going Their Own Way], MRAs [Men’s Rights Activists]), incel terminology (Red/Blue/Black pill, Trucels, etc) and more.


    We also discuss how these online subcultures are relevant to what we see in the news today (ICE/IDF) as well as how manosphere talking points have been normalized by IDW ‘intellectuals’.
