“But in propaganda terms, hating women for being awesome is a pretty tough sell. So Whatever offers a fictional alternate universe in which women are lazy, irresponsible, entitled and sexually promiscuous.”
Finally here! I've been working on this article for a few months now.
Whatever podcast clips are ubiquitous, spreading truly vile misogyny everywhere online. But almost nothing is known about the show.
Well, I aim to change that. My investigation.

For the record, just in case someone thinks otherwise, this is not me announcing I’m running for office. Maybe in the future, but frankly, I’m happy focusing on hopium and giving people the strength to keep fighting. I think that’s where I make the biggest impact.

I like being alone because it’s calm. No one interrupts my thoughts or shifts my mood. I make my own choices, move at my own pace, and think clearly. It’s a kind of peace that’s hard to find when others are around

“We are now operating under a Robertsian reimagining of the separation of powers, in which laws passed by Congress are mere suggestions for a monarchical president.”
John Roberts once promised to be like an umpire. He charmed both senators and the media, and for 20 years, was portrayed as a moderate institutionalist.
But today, it's become clear that the promise was a lie.
We are watching a rigged game, and Roberts set it up.
