Katherine Dee (@Default_Friend) - Liberalism's Homegrown Shooters
I speak with Katherine about a bizarre, relatively new outgrowth of the American psyche, the phenomenon of the school shooter. Beyond the "we need fewer/more guns" debate, there is a numb silence about the worldview that fuels the actual motivations of these young men. They are labeled and put away in the monster pile. But could it be that, in some ways, they see further than we can?
Katherine Dee is *the internet historian* bar none, and she's been doing some necessary spelunking in the neglected digital footprints of people like Adam Lanza, with startling results.

We speak about being a class traitor, the journey between these two worlds, the concept of dignity, the tension between personal responsibility and paternalism, the patterns of addiction and sexual abuse in people living on the street, justified and unjustified fears when it comes to dealing with people at the end of their tether, the problem of nonjudgmentalism, helping and not helping, and much more.

I speak to Darren Beattie about quaint Transylvanian towns and who has power in the politics of Eastern European backwaters, the Globalist American Empire and how narrative warps reality, color revolutions, who has the moral high ground and why it matters, the origins of our present derangements - philosophy, material emergence, or both, the question of "does voting even matter?", the impact of technology on how the game of politics evolves and about his dissertation on another subversive, Heidegger.
Darren is an author, former speechwriter for President Trump, and the gray eminence behind Revolver News. He’s also one of the most incisive analysts of our current moment both in terms of US politics but also of the wider reverberations around the world.

Geoff Shullenberger is a senior lecturer at NYU, a self-described marginal academic, and one of the most incisive analysts of the current moment that I've yet to chat to. We discuss his analysis of Postmodernism in the context of the now-famous release of "Cynical Theories" by Lindsay/Pluckrose, the rediscovery of Christopher Lasch & Rene Girard, and how power is flexing its beefy managerial apparatus in this time of *emergency*.
We also cover the recent Mark Crispin Miller thoughtcrime scandal at NYU, where Geoff lectures as well.

I chat to writer and California public school teacher, Alex Gutentag, about the world we inhabit in the wake of over one year of continuous COVID restrictions. We talk about the greatest wealth transfer from the lower-middle class to the rarefied strata at the top, and about the impact social isolation is having on vulnerable people, especially children.
Alex brings her perspective as a teacher through one of the most restrictive lockdowns in the US.
Her recommended subversive thinker is Imre Kertész and his books "Fatelessness" and "Fiasco."
