Welcome to the Conversations that Matter. Weekend Edition. I don't usually do a

podcast on Saturday, but there's been a lot of things sent to me this week that

people have asked me to talk about and I

can't get to all of them and I thought I would just add an extra episode so I

could talk about a few more of them and I'll I'll save some of them for next

week but there is a few things one of the things I want to show you

is something I really just got a kick out of and wanted to show on the podcast and with

the schedule next week I wasn't sure where I was going to fit it in as well.

So we're going to talk about three things.

I'm going to show you three actually videos and I'll give some commentary on them.

First is on karate culture.

This was sent to me actually a while ago but just showing that this

social justice narrative is not unique now to even Western countries necessarily and I think it's

it's a Western influence that's brought this in to other places but I'm going to show you a video about karate culture and now karate

culture can be oppressive so this is it's not again it's not just individuals within karate culture quote-unquote

it's not just I mean even think of the term karate culture it's not just this it's not

karate it's not an art it's not karate it's not an art. It's not means of self-defense training

It's it's a whole culture that that's kind of the way to broaden it to be able to then criticize it, that there's this culture that is so abusive or has something.

There's a flaw in it at a basic level, at a defining level, intrinsic to it.

And so it's not just that there's a person here or there

or a group of people who are abusive,

which is human nature is to abuse
