Democrats, believe the science until its politically inconvenient just like Tara Reade and #metoo

If I had the choice of going back in time and killing baby Hilter or baby Bernays, I would pick Bernays.

While there were some really good discussions, I had some problems following the flow, there was an important theme, then a diversion, then a return to a topic, but without clear linkage, of course it could have just been a couple of glasses of wine I had.

You should've done this wearing a blazer that has elbow patches while smoking a pipe and speaking in an austrian accent

Liked this video a lot as a fan of Zizek and using psychoanalysis to analyze politics in general. Would love for you guys to have Russell on again or any left leaning Lacanian theorist.

For other people to consider on psychoanalysis and politics, I'd also look into Adrian Johnston (U New Mexico) and Todd McGowan (University of Vermont). Both excellent scholars in their own right while also being aligned with Zizekian strands of thought.
