There's some things he says about feminism that irritate me. That said, he has been 100% on point with the gender identity nonsense. I believe recently he even clarified that there are two SEXES, and that gender wasn't real.

Walsh is a libertarian. I sometimes agree with libertarians, mostly about being anti-war and pro-free speech, but then I remember pot holes ;-)

Heh, yeah. I like listening to libertarian commentators, but it's just a bridge too far to give up all centralized government. I think it's more likely the US will stop oppressing its citizens than Amazon, Facebook, or Twitter will. And I suspect that that's one outcome of libertarianism - corporate oppression instead. If the goal is to break up those monopolies too, well, who does that?

You make a good point about corporate oppression. I try not to shop at Amazon, because once it becomes the only provider, or one of the few, we are screwed.

Plus Amazon has truly awful labor practices, and treats the companies that sell through it like shit.

And this is the major irony of the woke crap, too. These "activists" don't care how companies treat people, only that the company parrots the right talking points. I remember this especially with Hobby Lobby, and the big outrage over them being Christian and some artifacts that I didn't really care about. What I DO care about is that from everything I've heard Hobby Lobby pays their employees well, treats them well, and people who work there tend to make it a career. I've heard working for Youtube is also miserable, and we know Amazon is - but they have the "right politics" so the woke support them. It's so sickeningly hypocritical.

It's hard to avoid Amazon. I'm going to do my best too, I can't support a company that digitally burns books.

I look at the company selling the Amazon product and, if I can track them down, I contact them directly.

Yes, it is hard to shop smaller companies especially since search engines don't direct you to them. But for me it's important. Small businesses are the blood, sweat and tears of real people and deserve support.

Dude, he's a conservative Catholic.

I, a liberal on most issues, recently had a delightful conversation with a devoutly Catholic woman who has done more to stop the Equality Act than just about any one else I know of, except perhaps the women of WoLF and some other conservative women.

I believe that we women are fighting for our lives against gender ideology, so those of us who are comfortable doing so (!), should feel free to make alliances with women whose beliefs we might not be 100% aligned with, but who will fight with us on this issue and this issue alone.

I know that. I don't disagree with all of his Catholic values. I do disagree with some of the things he's said about feminism. Do you think all Catholics have identical beliefs? My best friend is also Catholic, we disagree about abortion all the time - but I agree with her more often about other feminist ideas than I do this guy.

I know there are "liberal" Catholics, but IMO feminism and Catholicism naturally do not go together at all.

Sure, I respect that. There's some pretty fundamental aspects of Catholic teachings that I don't agree with, morally, intellectually, and as a feminist. But I'm always of the attitude that I'll listen to any argument about anything, from any position.

Good for you lefterfield. This shows you are tolerant and open-minded.
