We Are Not Journalists

WE ARE NOT JOURNALISTS is a weekly podcast starring popular social media pranksters Walter Masterson and Maximillian Clark, who take delight in asking laugh-out-loud, nonsensical questions of today’s newsmakers, many of whom remain relentlessly and utterly clueless. Being somewhat socially responsible, there’s also experts, comedians and politicians analyzing how crazy everything is, and maybe collectively, we can figure out how to save the world?

    Episode 6: How to call your uncle a bigot

    Summary In this conversation, Walter Masterson and Maximilian are joined by Jolly Good Ginger, an activist and military veteran. They discuss their experiences at political rallies, including the Stop the Steal rally in Washington DC. They share humorous stories and encounters with Trump supporters. The conversation also delves into the concept of the war on Christmas and the misdirected anger it represents. Jolly Good Ginger talks about his Dollar a Day December initiative, where he encourages people to donate a dollar each day to a different cause. The conversation highlights the importance of empathy and tolerance during the holiday season. The conversation explores the importance of confronting bigotry and creating an environment intolerant of it. It emphasizes the need for both conversations and intolerance of bigotry to effect change. The role of white allies and the power of uncomfortable conversations are discussed. Personal stories highlight the process of unpacking bigotry and the impact of conversations with people in one's life. The conversation explores the nuanced topic of loving family members who hold bigoted views. It emphasizes the importance of holding loved ones accountable for their bigotry while still maintaining a relationship with them. Takeaways Attending political rallies can lead to humorous and unexpected encounters. The war on Christmas is a misdirected anger that validates other extremist beliefs. Acts of kindness, such as Jolly Good Ginger's Dollar a Day December, can make a positive impact during the holiday season. Empathy and tolerance are essential in understanding and respecting different cultural traditions. The dominance of Christmas in American culture has led to the regression of its religious aspects. Confronting bigotry requires both conversations and intolerance of it. Different approaches may be necessary for different people. Personal stories and relationships can be powerful in changing minds. Uncomfortable conversations can lead to personal growth and understanding. Loving someone does not negate their bigotry; it is important to hold them accountable. Having uncomfortable conversations about bigotry is necessary for growth and change. Sharing personal stories can be a powerful way to challenge and confront bigotry. We let a robot write the show notes because we thought it'd be hilarious, but look at how accurate they are. Horrifying. Society is at an inflection point, everything we know will soon be naught but ash and darkness. Happy holidays!
