You can support this podcast and get early releases at https://www.patreon.com/aksubversive    Or check out my writing on Substack at https://www.alexkaschuta.substack.com​ I speak to Darren Beattie about quaint Transylvanian towns and who has power in the politics of Eastern European backwaters, the Globalist American Empire and how narrative warps reality, color revolutions, who has the moral high ground and why it matters, the origins of our present derangements - philosophy, material emergence, or both, the question of "does voting even matter?", the impact of technology on how the game of politics evolves and about his dissertation on another subversive, Heidegger. Darren is an author, former speechwriter for President Trump, and the gray eminence behind Revolver News.
