  • Episode 366: Why is there so much Bullsh#*???
    2025/07/02
    In this conversation, Scott and Bill explore the decline of American pride, the erosion of the middle class, and the pervasive nature of 'bullshit' in political discourse. They discuss how political identity fluctuates based on party affiliation, the cultural implications of consumerism, and the role of rhetoric in shaping public opinion. The dialogue culminates in a reflection on sincerity and self-awareness in a world filled with misinformation and superficiality. Takeaways Only 58% of Americans express extreme pride in their country. Democratic pride in America fluctuates significantly with political leadership. The middle class in America has been eroding since the 1980s. Cultural commentary often highlights the contradictions in American values. Bullshit in politics is a greater threat to truth than outright lies. Rhetoric can distort truth, serving neither honesty nor deception. The rise of social media has amplified the spread of bullshit. Self-reflection is crucial in understanding our own beliefs and biases. Sincerity is often mistaken for truth in public discourse. The conversation emphasizes the need for skepticism towards our own convictions. Sound bites "We're killing the middle class." "Born in the USA is a sad song." "Sincerity itself is bullshit."

    In this special live episode of New Persuasive Words, Scott and Bill record in person at The Green Line Café (https://www.greenlinecafe.com)in Philadelphia, reflecting on the recent bombing of Iran ordered by President Trump. With coffee in hand and other patrons in the room, they unpack the political and ethical dimensions of this act of war. What does it say about American power, the role of conscience in foreign policy, and the ever-thinning line between calculated strategy and reckless provocation? Join us for a real-time theological and political conversation rooted in moral seriousness and public faith. We reference an anonymous open letter from an Iranian living abroad. You can find it here.
