In episode 138 of Toddzilla's podcast, recorded on June 27th, 2024, Todd muses on the rapid passage of time and the peculiar spring weather in Michigan. The episode takes a deeper dive into the possible impact of climate change, pondering whether the weather changes will be all "bad", and revisits the folly of choosing performative prevention programs instead of acceptance and adaptation.

Transitioning from weather to ideology, Todd again takes on one of his favorite topics, the socialist facade, and critiques the fervor of activism in general, arguing that rabid self-righteous zealotry may boomerang into being counterproductive. He explores the notion of moral certitude leading to crusading moral imperatives and how these things inevitably lead to tyrannical divisiveness rather than unity. Todd also touches on historical narratives, discussing the portrayal of Native Americans and blacks as "helpless" and in need of a savior, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging agency and the complexities of history.

Throughout the episode, Todd weaves in thoughts on political propaganda, the religious undertones of ideological beliefs, and the societal impacts of self-righteousness. With his usual blend of wit and candor, Todd challenges listeners to reconsider their perspectives on activism, history, and the ways in which we engage with opposing viewpoints. ("Wit", huh? Yes, AI wrote most of that. It gets paid to love Him.)
