Ben Burgis, author, podcaster, and philosophy instructor comes on to discuss why the left is fixated on ideas of moralism, individual responsibility and identity, and suffers from defeatism. We get into a deep dive discussion on performativeness, identity politics, cancel culture and the nationalization of social media.

Is Joe Rogan a far right podcaster?

Was Dave Chappelle's special transphobic?

Who will win the oppression olympics?

Would Ben Burgis kill a baby Jordan Peterson?
