Ep. 280: Don’t Be Neo-Neoconned! (Thoughts on the Dave Smith/Douglas Murray Debate)

About this episode

CJ discusses the implications of the debate between Dave Smith and Douglas Murray on the Joe Rogan Experience, focusing on credentialism and the rise of Neo-Neocons.

In this episode, CJ shares his thoughts on the meaning, significance, & fallout of the “debate” that took place a few weeks ago on the Joe Rogan Experience between Dave Smith & Douglas Murray, especially in regards to credentialism & the Cult of the “Expert,” as well as the phenomenon of the Neo-Neocons (next-generation Neoconservatives) such as Douglas Murray, James Lindsay, Konstantin Kisin, Jordan Peterson, & others who are currently on an ideological jihad to try to purge the current MAGA/Trumpian American Right of any libertarian & paleoconservative elements who might actually believe in the idea of “America First,” just as previous generations of Neocons did with earlier instances of grassroots, populist rightwing movements which had strong anti-interventionist & libertarian instincts.
