Episode 70 - DID YOU NOTICE RAMAPHOSA BLACKMAILED YOU ON THURSDAY? Artwork

In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser

On In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser I tackle all the uncomfortable topics that dominate public debate. With my reputation for fearless debate as a former World Masters Debate Champ, and a background in law and philosophy, you can expect debates on everything from whether or not it is racist for a non-black person to quote the N-word, to questions of how to tackle inequality, whether people are responsible for unconscious biases, the ethics of refusing to be vaccinated, the status of animals, debating books, and much more! The crucial differentiator of this podcast series compared to others is that it is fearless in its debate orientation, and no topic is off bounds! However, my motto is: "You are entitled to be treated with dignity .... but NOT to have your worldview affirmed!" So come with well-considered reasons for your viewpoints when you get YOUR chance to come on the platform to In The Ring With Eusebius McKaiser

Towards the end of the state of the nation address last week, president Cyril Ramaphosa appeared to be inspiring us all to be "resilient". Wittingly or unwittingly, however, he was emotionally blackmailing you. I wrote about that on TimesLIVE in an analysis piece you can read ( https://www.timeslive.co.za/sunday-times-daily/opinion-and-analysis/2022-02-13-eusebius-mckaiser-did-you-notice-ramaphosa-blackmailed-you-on-thursday/?fbclid=IwAR16GGjVO6n093cOkgqGQqiMKXld7zKyC7SwTUtHTzBKjurEBWgpLeokTTg )

In this very short episode, however, I make the case for why my charge of blackmail is not an exaggeration, and explain how we ought to respond to being politically blackmailed by the president.
