Ne Plus Ultra - Episode 15: Old Ideas, New Battlefields

Welcome everyone to the fifteenth episode of Ne Plus Ultra - Old Ideas, New Battlefields. It's been far too long since we've had an episode, but I'm hoping my life is finally normalizing so will return to our regular schedule. Today, it's a more personal episode, I talk about my own personal political experience and how it's clear that the political battlegrounds I had grown up fighting over are officially dead, and new battle lines are being drawn. In this episode I talk about how I am increasingly feeling that I no longer have a political home, and how the people I used to always know had my back in a political knife fight are now turning the knives on their own kind and conducting an impromptu purge. The traditionally left vs. right battles are gone, and are being replaced with painful civil wars on both sides of the political spectrum. Come and join me as we explore the ghosts of the political past, present, and hopefully - channel the future. In the second segment of the podcast, we talk about Donald Trump's reign of terror, the Fires in Fort McMurray, and the Icelandic elections. It's another wild ride for the part of your brain that enjoys the finer things here on Ne Plus Ultra. Stay thinking my friends. -Spencer
