Brett Erlich of The Young Turks joins us to dissect the right-wing outrage campaign over very tepid acknowledgements that the LGBTQIA+ community exists. From the freak-out over Target offering Pride themed clothes, to Chick-fil-A hiring a diversity officer, to Milk-Bone slapping a pride flag on a tub of dog treats, new fronts in the culture war are being waged every day. We take a look at what this really means for the right’s politics as consumption approach, their inadvertent critique of capitalism and more.
We also get into Roger Waters’ “controversy” over his performance in Germany, the Barbie movie, the new hyper-gamification retail site Temu and more.
