Disaffected: Episode 159
-Shadow projection is everywhere. It's when people deny their own darkness by placing that darkness inside other people through accusation. Trans moms do it by saying "God" made their "trans kids" that way. Racists like medical school faculty Dante King do it by calling all white people congenital psychopaths.
-We're chronicling the fall of our society on this show. This week we see it in Super Bowl commercials that claim to be Christian but that preach a Marxist manifesto in a sadomasochistic parody of the word of Jesus.
-Towns are digitally spying on employees' personal social media accounts, school districts in the heartland are transing kids without parental knowledge.

Powerful and disturbing episode Josh. I particularly love your term: intellectual germline infection. It tickled my inner biologist and will find a way to use it in a sentence.
As for the YMCA representatives - the irony of peddling training on inclusive leadership when they've managed to exclude men from leadership in a men's health-focused organisation. Grifting Social Injustice Warriors at their finest.
I'm grateful you're chronicling all the ways that Cluster B women manifest their projections in social movements and assaults on the family system.
Thanks Josh, It’s so good to hear such a strong voice anchored to sanity.
As a result of my autism I have always lived in my own world of fear and anxiety even when Society was relatively sane compared to now. So I’m sure you can imagine what the current state of affairs is doing to me.
As a Christian, death holds no fear for me. But living in our current world is an excruciatingly slow death. So far, I have a very strong survival instinct. Maybe part of that is believing that even I can potentially influence the world for good, by God’s grace and mercy.
You may have heard the saying, “Even atheist pray in fox holes.” War will do that to you. We are in a war. We all need to be praying.
