Pill Pod 86 - Know Your Enemy
Added 2022-07-09 00:51:09 +0000 UTCSo, half of Canada's phone and internet has been down since 6am this morning, I don't know if this upload will go through because it's still dropping every 5 minutes, but if you're reading this, here is the episode.
It's a political theory day, speaking with the Know Your Enemy podcast's Matthew Sitman, a former young conservative. Starting with some Roe v. Wade, we then dive deep into the intellectual right's endless fascination with Straussian philosophy (that's Leo Strauss), its underlying esotericism, and its connection to the American right's current political projects.
There's a lot of namedropping (both of individuals and institutions) in this episode, so if there are outstanding questions you can tweet them at @matthewsitman, @mattpolprof, and @victorbruzzone

Dude! So happy to see this one. These guys introduced me to the 5-4 podcast, an indispensable favorite. Know Your Enemy and 5-4 tirelessly document The Federalist Society and other conservative movements. Really really great info for anyone unfamiliar with them.
