About this listen

In an increasingly polarized society, and in the midst of seemingly endless culture wars, our civil discourse appears to be in shambles. What are we to do? If a lack of conversation is the primary culprit of the current state, then perhaps intentionally engaging in debate and discussion will lead us in the right direction. From race and police brutality, to concepts of beauty and the body, to sex and dating, Let's Agree to Disagree is an endeavor to revive cultural dialogues from hostility to civility.

First of all, I must confess that the author describing herself as being politically "Neither Left Nor Right" (meaning a Conservative in denial,) and her first 'Dialogue' being with a white man whining that "Well Actually, Conservatives Are The *REAL* Multi-Culturalists" heavily prejudiced me against this book. But although I'll have to read it again at some point to try and see beyond my bias, the thing that struck me the most about the different dialogues was the utter banality and ego-centric absurdity of what we know as "The Right's" supposed Culture War issues.

Of course, as an evil 'Woke' Leftist Progressive working with the Deep State to force your wives to get abortions and then leave you for Transgender Lesbians, I always knew that "The Right" is largely composed of other straight, white, cis-people whining that the people who we exploit and oppress demanding equality hurts our feelings. However, putting the issues side by side like this in a single book drove home that fact like nothing else ever could. Because while many of the progressive activists who the author spoke to discussed real world issues such as the connection between drug prohibition, poverty, institutionalised racism in law enforcement and mass incarceration, houselessness, mass-shootings and the student loan crisis, her discussions about Multi-Culturalism & Cultural Appropriation amounted to little more than two straight, white cis-men whining "Stop Calling Me Racist Because I'm White!" And therefore, I'm giving the book 5 stars in the hopes that everyone else who reads it will also come to this same realisation.
