Description

If you've ever yelled at someone on social media about, say, cancel culture or mask-wearing, then you are a soldier in the culture wars - those everyday battles for dominance between conflicting values. The acclaimed writer and podcaster Jon Ronson has seen friends swallowed up in them to the extent that it's ruined their lives. Jon was curious to learn how things fell apart, and so he went back into the history of the culture wars to find some of the origin stories: the pebbles thrown in the pond, creating the ripples that led us to where we are today. He had no idea what he'd find, but he's uncovered some extraordinary people and the strangest, yet most consequential tales.

Jon Ronson is a longtime favorite journalist of mine. His depth of reasearch and and his ability to put a story together are unmatched, in my opinion. But in this series, all his positive attributes are undercut by relentlessly intrusive sound design. I don't remember the music being used quite so heavily in the first season, but I wish they'd held back a bit this time...it's highly distracting to have it there constantly. That said, the journalism is first-rate.

Imagine thinking that your own life was enough to qualify you to write a book about a huge group of people that you are part of... Robin thinks that because she sees herself as White (with a capital w that is one of their words, not mine) she can speak for millions of people she has no knowledge of nor interest in. She can only speak for herself but because she wrote a book that was lapped up by guilty progressive liberals her ego has been stoked and now she feels superior to anyone...
