How to be a JERK! Twitter/X Space

Twitter Space 5 July 2025

This episode examines the manipulation of beliefs through propaganda, prompted by Joshua Vasquez's question on recognizing its influence. I discuss how propaganda relies on reward and punishment rather than reason and reflect on the struggles of young men, urging resilience and awareness in personal relationships.

We address the societal impacts of propaganda, noting how it silences dissent and fosters anger towards challengers. I advocate for homeschooling to escape toxic educational systems and emphasize the importance of agency in personal choices.

Engaging with callers, we explore integrity and the need to uphold non-aggression principles while confronting harmful ideologies. The conversation touches on the tension between conservatism and progressivism, highlighting the importance of clear boundaries and personal accountability. We conclude with a message of hope, emphasizing community and shared values as essential for social change.
