Season 6 Episode 4: Is the Left Too Soft on Nietzsche? (ft. Daniel Tutt & Matt McManus)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Matt McManus and Daniel Tutt join Ben Burgis to talk about Daniel's new book "How to Read Like a Parasite: How the Left Got High on Nietzsche." Before that, This is Revolution host Jason Myles joins Ben and the GTAA crew to talk about Jason's new article "Same As It Ever Was: The Ilusion of Political Discourse in American Media" and talk about the get-together Ben and Jason will be hosting for viewers of both shows at the Rainbow Bar & Grill in Los Angeles at 6 PM on February 14th--because obviously, the thing your significant other most wants to do on Valentine's Day is for you to take them to hang out with divorced middle-aged Marxist podcasters. Hell, that can be their present!
Last but definitely not least, in the postgame for patrons we're joined by Mean Djene Bajalan to watch the lobster man himself, Dr. Jordan B. Peterson, doing Q&A at Oxford.
