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:

Vulnerability as Ideology, Peter Ramsay, Northern Star
The victimological imagination, Matthew B. Crawford, Substack
