@22:45 ‘Douglas, I haven’t seen you this animated before’. Lol. If this is Murray ‘animated’, I hate to think what his resting bitch face looks like!😳

If by ‘woke’ you mean not being a racist, sexist, homophobic bastard, then where’s the problem? Bandying around the epithet ‘woke’ as term of condemnation has become a lazy trope, beloved of the right as a ruse to excuse the aforementioned behaviour, under the guise of protecting freedom of speech. I uphold the latter, and have no issue with other races, gays and women. If this makes me ‘woke’ then bring it on. 🤓

Not quite true about the left having a monopoly on ‘tribalism’. To take a salient contemporary example du jour, the ‘tribe’ who broadly and specifically subscribe to the ideas of Jordan Peterson are some of the most egregiously partisan and reflexively self-defensive individuals I think may have ever encountered. I say this as one neither particularly left, not particularly right, and can therefore see this relatively perspicaciously. I have been in debates apropos Peterson’s notions, and any even slight criticism I might raise vis-a-vis his thinking is not infrequently met with an invidious bile the like of which I have rarely met with from another, left, centre or right. I’m puzzled by the phenomenon, and can only put it down to the intrinsically personal manner Peterson’s followers feel about their man. I think he has one or two good ideas, but nothing really which hasn’t been said before and said better (eg. RW Emerson’s Self-Reliance philosophy), but if I dare put my head above the parapet and suggest that Peterson’s ideas, say concerning God/Jesus are a tad flaky and jejune, then it’s blown off in a firestorm of vitriol. So while I agree that the entrenched ideological left do get quite defensive and oftentimes personal in their promulgation of their ideas, the right is certainly not immune from this nasty infection either.😳
