IF YOU'RE READING THIS, THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU 
 
My name is Phillip Jason Dade, and I'm a sinner, but also forgiven.
 
I am an evangelical Christian, the owner of a secondhand boat store, and yes, that was me in the news report about bathroom encounters.
 
I started talking to the boys at Chapo Trap House after I heard them mock and deride men like me, followers of Christ who have fallen but gotten back up. I did not reach out to them out of spite.
 
I wanted them to understand.
 
You see, I sell rudders and motorboards during the day, but I have passions outside of work. Obviously, God is number one. But passion number two is my awesome wife Klyeelissa and my kick butt little guy Mason Jesse James Treibart (the best 4 year old in the world ;) ),  Passion the third is, you guessed it, Evangelical EDM.
 
So I decided to send the boys in "The Trap" my newest song, "You Give Me Energy." I could try explaining my life, my journey, my triumphs, and my pain to get these guys to understand who they're mocking when they mock evangelicals, but they wouldn't understand it. 

the universal language of music is how neighbors can see eye to eye, though. It's been like that since the Book of Genesis, and it's like that now. so without further ado, I hope you can begin to start to think about considering who I really am, and who you could be.
 
Blessing throughout you, your family, and the world.

Since the beginning of what’s generally called ‘RussiaGate’ three years ago, pundits, media outlets, even comedians have all become insta-experts on supposed Russian propaganda techniques. The most cunning of these tricks, we are told, is that of “whataboutism” – a devious Soviet tactic of deflecting criticism by pointing out the accusers’ hypocrisy and inconsistencies. The tu quoque - or, “you, also” - fallacy, but with a unique Slavic flavor of nihilism, used by Trump and leftists alike in an effort to change the subject and focus on the faults of the United States rather than the crimes of Official State Enemies. 

But what if "whataboutism" isn’t describing a propaganda technique, but in fact is one itself: a zombie phrase that’s seeped into everyday liberal discourse that – while perhaps useful in the abstract - has manifestly turned any appeal to moral consistency into a cunning Russian psyop. From its origins in the Cold War as a means of deflecting and apologizing for Jim Crow to its braindead contemporary usage as a way of not engaging any criticism of the United States as the supposed arbiter of human rights, the term "whataboutism" has become a term that - 100 percent of the time - is simply used to defend and legitimizing American empire’s moral narratives.

We are joined by Jeremy Scahill, co-founder of The Intercept.
