This episode is hosted by T. and Kenny. Today we have on Joel Hill (http://twitter.com/kruynchymoses).  Joel Hill is a semi-jokingly self-described "incel enthusiast" who did a deep dive into incel culture and wrote about it on Medium. His page of articles can be found at https://medium.com/@joelhill. We discuss a lot of things about incels, including the degree to which they deserve pity vs. scorn, and if their energy is a canary in the coalmine for a rage over alienation that is penetrating all corners of society.
