Young, Radical, and on the Right (w/ Nate Hochman)

This episode makes me want to cry (and slightly nauseous too). It’s one thing to hear you talk about the right and something entirely different to hear the rights awful talking points from this young person mouth. I know the enemy, and my heart hurts that this is the future of the right.

I'm joining late, I'm sorry! And yes, I became as subscriber mostly to get this off my chest (though I'll be sticking around for awhile) I just listened to this one yesterday, and what was incredibly frustrating for me is that Nate spent so much time concentrating on ideas that he agreed on--and it didn't seem to matter what the idea was... "there is so much here I agree with," and then the pattern was "Well, let's get to the substantive difference" and I didn't hear the difference, just more polite deflection. I don't feel at the end of this episode that I understand anything at all about Nate's conservatism other than it claims to protect a vision of America that he grew up with, and that he doesn't like cancel culture. I'm someone who has been using your podcast to deconstruct my own libertarianism (which seems mostly west-coast straussian) and even from a background that SHOULD be very sympathetic, I don't know Nate's positions about anything. It's almost like he was afraid to offend someone. Which... is incredibly ironic coming from anyone on the right in 2021. My only request when you have him on again, is to get directly to what his substantive issues are... get him to state these things. I feel like alot of this was based on prior conversation that I never got to hear. Absolutely love your show by the way. Since walking with open arms toward the Marxist left I've been shocked at how many people of faith I find here. I'm not one of them, but it points to the fact that I clearly missed out running into religion that wasn't toxic.
