Listen Later

In this episode, psychotherapist, social worker, and parent coach Teva Johnstone and I...

  • question the identity points system, particularly as it appears online, and how neoliberal identitarianism values identity and identity points when deciding if someone is allowed to speak or not
  • discuss why people are so attracted to labels and identity markers, particularly after the disconnection from community and belonging so many people experienced in 2020 and beyond
  • discuss the labels and identities we hold dear, such as woman and mother
  • share Teva's experience with her Instagram account being suddenly deleted without notification after she made a post that went against far left social justice culture
  • revist the Chris Rock/Will Smith incident and discuss neurodivergence, violence, and race
  • talk about the problem with grouping identities together as if they are a monolith
  • talk about colorism and white supremacy
  • discuss privilege: when it matters and when it's weaponized to silence people
  • discuss class disparity and why that's where we can make the most impact in social justice
