Ep 196 | Is Freedom of Speech Really in Danger? | Taylor Swift: High Priestess of the Pop Cult
from TIMpactful Topics with Tim Messer · host Tim Messer
Today, I tackle two topics:1. Is the 1st Amendment really under attack? As some people in the country decry the pushback on Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel, as well as numerous suspensions and firings in the wake of the Charlie Kirk murder, others think of it as karma and "consequence culture." I examine the topic from a Libertarian perspective. 2. Taylor Swift isn't just a pop star - she's the high priestess of America's most sparkly cult. From $2,000 "tithes" to jars of sacred concert air, Swifties have turned fandom into full-blown religion. Today, I break down the scriptures, the relics, the evangelism, and the Kool-Aid - all with a conservative dose of sarcasm.
