You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to atheistically speaking this is episode 252 and I'm your host Thomas Smith.

Got a couple different things for you today. I wanted to give you some of my thoughts on, really I needed to follow up on a few things and

there's a consistent comment I've been getting that I want to address. So I want to talk about that and then I've got a little interview with Al Lehman from Inciting

Incident, the podcast and we actually talk about something pretty relevant to this.

There's a little bit of talk about PC culture

and about a suicide epidemic at his school.

So it's really fascinating.

So that'll be later.

But first, as to the comment that I wanted to get to. There's been an ongoing

question that I've talked about about whether or not PC culture is responsible for

Trump.

I thought I answered that pretty convincingly

a couple episodes ago.

I really, but it seems to me that this meme is not going away, that people really want to believe that's true, and they're really convinced that it is true.

Interesting side note, some of you may know, a lot of you may know, Dave Rubin, who I've been a little critical of in the past, launched his Patreon the other week, and it's at like, I don't know, 21,000 or might even be 22,000 now.

And I think that's made me realize along with the fact that I get a lot of comments that are resistant when I have

criticism for him and in other points that caused me to think like this is a

significant faction of my audience.

I think it's I think it's quite a significant percentage of you that are either Dave Rubin fans or at least sympathetic to kind of the movement that he stands for,

which is the anti-regressive left kind of movement.

And the only reason I bring it up is that as a result of seeing how much support he had,

I went back and I started paying more attention to him because, look, my show purports to and I think I've done a decent job of this I want to get at the disagreement among atheists
