The far left is once again claiming that the ok sign is a secret dog whistle and that Zina Bash, by simply crossing her arms in an odd way, was signaling a certain group of people. But this is insane nonsense. They are sharing a simple video of a random woman crossing her arms, thats it. Whats funny here is that some of these people pushing the conspiracy have, in the past, called for Alex Jones to banned over pushing a conspiracy theory. It seems like we have another case of "its ok when we do it" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=li7xxMaKqlo&index=2&list=PLxQaod7tWvYKEVcKAEvH3BVpeqbAlhSdR&t=0s Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Conservative may have just won another battle in the culture war as many people are reporting that their QFD shadow bans have been lifted. While it is possible that the lift is not political it was an issue being decried by mostly conservative voices with many people on the left saying it was a conspiracy theory and not really happening. So why did Twitter remove the bans and does it have anything to do with Jack Dorsey testifying before congress in just a few days?

Wilfred Laurier responded to Jordan Peterson and it was particularly ignorant. They claimed that Peterson should be suing Lindsey Shepherd because she published the recording of the incident. However this is wrong, Shepherd did not publish the recording, it was the National Post and Global news. The statement was Laurier's defense against defamation but they made a huge error in being factually incorrect. Support the show (http://timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

A study published by Brown University argues that it is possible some youtube experience gender dysphoria due to peer pressure and trends among their peer groups. They call this "rapid onset gender dysphoria." Brown has pulled down a press release about the study due to community pressure, with people saying it could undermine trans rights. But is there truth to the study? Is it possible that young people are simply trying to be trendy, or is it just that our society is more accepting of trans people and now our youth feel safe and comfortable expressing how they really feel?

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has been called the future of the Democratic Party. Cortez is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, a group that calls for an end to private profit and end to capitalism. Many people don't understand that under socialism you do not control the fruits of your labor, rather the state or collective gets to decide where your value gets put. Without private profit the individual cannot decide what they get to purchase or trade. Understanding this we can see that many people do not actually look at the values of the DSA and what they advocate, if they did many people would likely not align themselves with the group as most Americans, even on the left, are Capitalists.
