Summary

How does a society defined by liberty and revolution become so easy to censor? Is polarisation something that has been done to us as an active political strategy or did we do this to ourselves? How did the Silicon Valley CEOs’ friction with their workers drive them towards camp MAGA? Alastair and Rory are joined by commentator and journalist Ezra Klein to discuss all this and more.
