How's this for progress in the SJW world?
Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad) made a trip to the US for VidCon, met up with Laci Green.
This is a hopeful photo, and it's good to see someone like Green recognize the cancer of radical feminism and make amends.

Apparently "transpreading" is okay.
Hah, Sargon did the Joe Rogan Experience podcast

That's going to be quite the boost.

"I've met many interesting people since I've been [in America] Anita, who say they know you. And they all hate you because you're a dick."
I lol'd.
Always liked Joe Rogan, thought he was pretty cool... now having listened to 4 hours of him talk with Carl, I might be a fan. Definitely not a huge fan of the militant atheism, but he's a relatively smart guy.
Now to dig through past episodes and see what's worth listening to...
Sargon really did sort of get into a personal bash fest on Snarkeesian, not that she hasn't earned it. But it's kinda hard for him to innocently say he only wants to debate her points, and that he's not harassing, all the while he's calling her a "dick". Rogan reeled him in on that when it started to get out of hand. But yeah. Some pretty interesting stuff. I don't really care for some of the characterizations of conservatives though, for example as "tribalism". I do think it's tribalism to an extent, but the evidence Rogan used to say it's tribalism was mischaracterized. He said that red-staters say that Obama oppressed them. But conservatives don't claim to be oppressed by Obama. The essential complaint distilled from the list of complaints is that Obama far exceeded his political mandate, which is absolutely true, and evidenced by the election of a guy like Donald Trump.
Yeah, Carl admitted he was pretty nervous afterward. I mean, in the past two years... he went from being a nobody... to being on the JRE. That's a huge deal for anyone. He has some faults when it comes to pride stuff, has a little of that "smartest person in the room" air about him that Joe picked up on.
Joe seems like he wants to play as neutral as possible, and avoid fallacious arguments and personal stuff. He did pretty well trying to keep the conversation on-track, and having done hundreds of episodes, I'm sure he's gotten good at it.
The parts just shooting the **** were good. I'm hoping other JRE's are similar to that, just back-and-forth banter and jokes. Love how non-PC he is. Nice of him to go past schedule for a long show.
Sometimes Sargon will just spew out the most brilliant observation. And other times I think, you arrogant prick. You're just mistaking your ego for logic. Maybe it's a British thing to some extent. I don't mean to say all brits, but I think they can come off more arrogant than they mean. There are a number of Brits I've watched that seem that way. But yeah, Sargon does seem act quite pleased with himself sometimes. Those occasional brilliant bit's of observation are worth putting up with the arrogance, overall.
