Hello and welcome to another episode of I Way with Jameeda Jamal. I hope you're well. I'm good. I'm a bit fatigued.

Online discourse is getting out of control. A lot of infighting

amidst

liberals and progressives and

the left in general. Lots of self-cannibalizing. I think people's reactions to AOC and her dress at the Met Gala were quite

frustrating and not very well thought out people speaking before they had all the information which I've certainly been guilty of

in the past. But if you want to hear what I said about that, you can find my rant on Instagram. I'm not going to subject you to it again here.

But I am feeling a bit

exhausted by how much time

we who want to make change in the world spend

nitpicking each other and then completely losing focus of the greater task at hand. And what I think it's really important that we keep each other accountable

and criticize each other and do all of the important things. I think literally all of our pylons spiral out of control.

And even long after the message has been made and you know said about the thing that we take issue with with the public figure.

We just then go on and on and on. It kind of feels like, and I've spoken about this before in this podcast,

it feels like we're just kind of virtue signaling to each other that like I'm going to be vocal about this thing that everyone else has already said.

So that everyone around me knows that I'm on the right side of history because I object to this thing. But all that turns into is a massive claustrophic of misdirection.

Because then we're not looking at the people who are actively trying to oppress us because we're so busy piling on to spending days obsessively talking about someone who's actually probably got their hearts probably in the right place.

And what they did probably doesn't warrant this big a reaction. Meanwhile, those who are actively trying to oppress us,

are laughing at us, watching us just spend this much time eating each other alive.

And then they just carry on oppressing us and we're distracted by pointing at each other.

So we've got to figure out some sort of better fucking system here of, okay, we're going to say something's wrong.

We're going to be, we're going to say it with our whole fucking chest.
