CRV 445

My conversation with Kevin W continues in this episode, and we turn from science fiction to the nature of the American Empire, speech policing, failure modes for democracy and the tension between idealism and pragmatism.

574: Restraining the Blob

KMO welcomes podcaster and long-time friend of the C-Realm, J. G. Michael, to the C-Realm Podcast. J. G. is the host of the Parallax Views Podcast. His recent focus has been on geopolitics, and that's where this conversation focuses, with particular emphasis on "the national security blob," a phrase coined by Ben Rhodes, a top aide to Barack Obama.

573: The Long Revenge

KMO talks with Thaddeus Russell, author of A Renegade History of the United States and the host of the Unregistered Podcast, about life under slavery, the shortcomings of libertarianism, and the case for Pax Americana as the least worst mechanism for global stability given the existing state of affairs.
