Amber A'Lee Frost on the Type of People Trying to Ruin DSA
Amber, Ben, and Jason discuss the kind of leftist who uses elitist norms to divide groups from within, who use political monikers as an identity category rather than as a serious political program. Amber also suggests some ways to call these people out on their B.S.

Ben Burgis debates Sohrab Ahmari on whether socially conservative social democracy emerging from the GOP is a real possibility. Ben and Sohrab agree that some socially conservative goals are impossible in our neoliberal hellscape--people aren't starting families as early because of feminism or gay rights but because *they're broke*--but they disagree about whether conservatives are ever going to be a real force for social-democratic economics. Ben argues that while conservative parties around the world often accept welfare state programs when they're a done deal, they aren't going to be the ones to achieve them in the first place.

Norm argues that although the court has always been political rather than judicial, the current iteration reflects America's increasing polarization. He also describes how most of the court's opinions -- right or wrong -- are terribly written and argued.

Actor and comedian Ethan Herschenfeld joins Ben Burgis and the GTAA crew to review a clip of right-wing hack Ben Shapiro and Christian apologist William Lane Craig talking about atheism and why a loving God would allow innocent people to suffer. No one is impressed by Shapiro and Craig’s argument.

Yup, you read that right. Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Zizek tells Ben Burgis a story about a reality star who sold her farts in jars and then sold them as NFTs. Zizek uses this as a jumping off point to talk about NFTs, capitalism, and more.
