Bringing the current series of podcasts looking at politics full circle, Dry Toast ends off with an enquiry into the Us vs Them mentality so prevalent in today's politics, social media and events in general. We take a look at where it is appearing, where it's coming from, why, and what we can do.

Dry Toast takes us back in time 2500 years to the time of the Athenian philosopher Plato and his critique of democracy which is actually quite prescient when we look at what he said in the light of our current world.
Let's see what some guy from roughly 400 BC had to say about democracy and see if it has any relevance to today - you might be surprised!

Finally, Dry Toast put together the ending to the story of the Confederacy. After the battle of Gettysburg, the South continued the struggle, fighting hard against the powerful tide coming from the North.

As history unfolds, Dry Toast does his best to try and pick the facts from the fiction. A lot of hyerbole and accusations are being hurled back and forth as various interests jockey for position. Let's see if we can sift the wheat from the chaff.

Dry Toast takes a bit of a leap of  faith today as I attempt to determine the facts of whether certain aspects of wokeism are good or bad, and my evidence for these determinations. It is a different road to travel down to determine the facts of a subject that is heavily subject to tastes or opinions, as opposed to matters of historical or scientific fact.
Nonetheless, who doesn't like a challenge. Let's go!
CORRECTION: Franz Kafka created the situation known as a Kafka trap in his novel Der Process (The Trial), I don't know if it was actually used by communism.

Given all that is going on in the world around covid, I thought what better time than now to take a sober look at the facts, the conspiracies, vaccines, lockdowns, masks and social distancing.

The Fact of The Matter is making a slight change in format to make it more sustainable. We will still be searching for where the truth lies but more from a philosophical standpoint as we examine the social, political, religious, and scientific happenings in our world.
We will be looking at the causes of the different scenarios, both sides of the story and try to distill truth from opinion or idealogy.

Let's get started on a new and exciting journey!
