Episode 2: Identity Crisis
In our second episode we further illustrate our views, politics, and perspectives on the wasteland of liberal left politics. Addressing the atomization of liberalism in United States social culture generally, from looking at Protestantism, to Postmodernism. We address the notion of freedom and explore the myriad ways it is conceived, and their contradictions. We touch upon the question of religion and politics and what this could mean for unity at a higher order than just uniting around the material impetus of bread.
