The Culture War and the political landscape today really are a hellish nightmarish dystopia for which no one can escape.

And I have to wonder, I have to question the sanity of anybody who wants to be involved in anything having to do with this.

And I look at my friends, the moderates, the center leftists who have bowed out and are no longer engaging in politics, and I think, you know what?

Maybe they got it right. Because everyone has lost their goddamn mind.

The Culture War is insane. It's quite literally a clown world.

Now I made some videos about the clown world meme in the past few days, and it basically means that things are so downright insane and nonsensical clearly.

The world must be some kind of satire or parody of itself.

But in reality, this is reality.

Today as I was looking through all of these different stories, trying to figure out what the narrative was, what are we focusing on today?

I just thought, look at all of this insanity.

It's very stressful.

And so you know, I thought maybe what we'll do today is kind of like those old sitcoms where they would do a compilation episode,

where they show bits from all these other episodes. And I said, maybe I should step back and look at a series of instances that show us we really do live in a nonsensical freakish nightmare reality.

And that's what we're going to do today.

So this won't be for the fainthearted. It may actually make you upset, but it's not going to be all inclusive.

It's just going to be a small handful of the stories I've pulled up over time that we're going to look at to realize.

This is a nightmare, isn't it?

Now, before we get started, I want to give a quick shout out to today's sponsor, Virtual Shield, who helps make this podcast possible.
