https://patreon.com/westernkabuki This week we talk Lance of https://theserfs.tv about how seemingly every right wing reactionary is coalescing behind their antipathy to "DEI," the new "CRT," and it makes us want to "DIE."

We had an episode planned around Alex Jone's return to the public eye, but Whack couldn't make it. So instead, we subbed in The Homie Marcos to talk about an article in Ireland's Business Post that surprisingly flew under the radar. It showcases leaked training documents wherein Twitter seems to explicitly condone posts containing slurs, harassment, unsolicited sexual content, holocaust denial and more by instructing employees not to remove them, putting Twitter on a crash course with EU regulators in early 2024.
