In this episode we focus on the discussion generated by our episode that came out in early May on the protests on US campuses. We discuss the issues along a few axes:
-
How do ideas of victimhood relate to the material reality of international politics?
-
What really are the aims of the protesters and how likely are they to achieve them?
-
Are we cynical in our approach or conclusions?
-
How do the protests relate to populism and the end of the End of History?
-
What is the proper basis of nationhood?
-
How do these protests relate to the millennial Left?
-
