On your questions & criticism regarding pro-Palestine protests.   [Patreon Exclusive]   In this episode we focus on the discussion generated by our episode that came out in early May on the protests on US campuses. We discuss the issues along a few axes:
  • How do ideas of victimhood relate to the material reality of international politics?

  • What really are the aims of the protesters and how likely are they to achieve them?

  • Are we cynical in our approach or conclusions?

  • How do the protests relate to populism and the end of the End of History?

  • What is the proper basis of nationhood?

  • How do these protests relate to the millennial Left?

We also deal with your points on Civil War, the state funding of culture, and whether Joe Rogan is a good male role model.   Readings:
