#6, Talking to Angry Jack, video is 11m.

The thrust of Part 6, the point that the entire series is building up to, is that Jack - the person privileged people become when they want to dismiss realities that make them uncomfortable - is a problem that communities have to take responsibility for. I feel that, too often, people who are not the victims of abuse don’t take that responsibility, which leaves the people who are being abused to deal with it. The actionable advice I gave was that we, privileged people who have most certainly been Angry Jack at various times in our lives, need to engage with him when he shows his face. His rhetoric is an enticing narrative that tells people feminism and racial politics and social issues aren’t worth thinking about. When people are figuring themselves out online, they come across this rhetoric, and I think it’s dangerous for them to see it go unchallenged - it leaves the internet a training ground for proto-Angry Jacks.
