Philosopher, psychologist, and commentator Slavoj Žižek comes back to the show to talk with Ben Burgis about….well….everything. We had to prerecord this part of the show since Slavoj is in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where it’s going to be like four in the morning when GTAA airs, and the conversation hits on everything from the relationship between Hegelianism and Marxism to political correctness to Ukraine to how to think about what comes after capitalism. Before we play the interview, though–and in the postgame w/Russell Sbriglia–we’ll touch on Ben’s article on Steven Crowder (and his recent run-in with Matt Walsh) among other fun subjects. This should be good.
