Civil Discourse in the Modern Era: Stop Being an Etiquette Peasant

Salty Goddess Anne Margaret Perry takes you on a journey from Victorian dinner tables to modern-day Facebook flame wars. Once upon a time, politics, religion, and money were off-limits for polite company. Now? We’re practically ready to throw hands over a meme. It's time to retire the fucking etiquette peasantry.

In this unapologetically audacious episode, Anne Margaret breaks down:

• Why etiquette once banned divisive topics, and what that meant for social harmony.

• The rise of “color commentator” newscasters and corporate-driven spin.

• Why civility is NOT complicity, and silence isn’t the answer either.

If you’re tired of the chaos, craving common courtesy, and ready to chase character instead of clout, this is your guilty-pleasure wake-up call.
