Episode 2 – COVID Lenins & Things

Episode 2 – Aren’t lefties supposed to be the champions of individual rights and civil liberties? 

What can the response to Covid from the left and the right teach us about the deeper philosophical underpinnings of each? On their own terms, it would seem the left would be the ones to resist authority while the right chants “follow the rules!” but Covid has turned that on its head. What the hell is going on here?! Have a listen and find out.
