In this episode I address how common it is for conservatives to call for murder to solve our social problems. Whether through capital punishment, lenient gun laws or some other means of torture and death conservative thinkers often seek out whatever “logical reasoning” they can find to justify killing the Other. Join me as I explore the true moral and scientifically sound answer to the question of, “When do I get to murder?”

In this episode of The Hot Tub Monologues I discuss the shortcomings of our United States constitution, the reality of the Tradwife movement, and how a return to traditional values is just dog whistling for a conservative movement that looks to regain control over women and revert them back into chattel; just like in the Bible. So what is the solution? Tune in to find out.

In this episode I discuss how people suffering from conservatism often fall into conspiratorial thinking. Because they hold beliefs based on faith like: god, the bible, Jesus, and others they aren’t well versed in critical thinking. Thus, they readily and easily believe other nonsense like: flat Earth, lizard people, the mark of the beast, and others. During one of my many social dinners, I was treated to an onslaught of conspiratorial beliefs by an ex-friend of mine named Jerry. Jerry is a moron, and believes nearly everything he sees or hears on: Ancient Aliens, Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Fox News, and other uncritical and dubious sources. Join me as I take you through this horrific experience and decode how and why conservatives so readily fall into this type of insanity.

In this episode of Hot Tub Monologues I discuss the modern conservative solution to most of society’s problems; violence. The call to violence against protesters, homeless people, drug addicts, and other people conservatives don’t like is all together too common. We see it on the news and in our social circles. People who suffer from conservative thinking are convinced that violence is a solution to many of society’s problems including how to care for their own children. As a progressive, I understand that the solution to our social problems is teamwork, compassion, nurturing, and cooperation. Violence should never be used to solve a problem, and society needs to progress past the need to use violence for any reason.

Join me back in the hot tub as I ponder some of life’s most intriguing questions with an inarticulate ignoramus conservative thinker. There I describe how being ignorant and inarticulate goes hand in hand with conservatism and just how unfortunate it is that conservatives fail to take the next step in the learning process.

Join me for an account of an adorable couple I met in England. Whilst sitting in a pub enjoying a fine English ale, I met a couple who swore to me that they had seen a ghost while vacationing in an old house in Whales. Together we analyzed their account of what happened and through sound scientific reasoning determined that they probably did not actually see a ghost and instead simply had an experience that they were calling a ghost. In my analysis of this conversation I break down the progressive, scientific way to think about these types of occurrences and discuss how conservative thinking often leads to these false conclusions. Join me.
