The Case for Radical Empathy feat. P.E. Moskowitz

This week’s episode features Nate in conversation with P.E. Moskowitz (@_pem_pem). They're the author of two books -- 'How to Kill a City: Gentrification, Inequality, and the Fight for the Neighborhood' and 'The Case Against Free Speech: The First Amendment, Fascism, and the Future of Dissent." We discussed free speech absolutism, the military-centric nature of our discussions of PTSD, and why it’s important to have empathy at the forefront of leftist politics.
