**Conversations with Peter Boghossian**

We stand transparent about our motivations: we are champions of liberal values and Enlightenment Rationalism. Reason & liberty are paramount-whether threatened by tyranny in places like China or elsewhere-because they are essential to human dignity and prosperity. The Enlightenment, with it’s emphasis on error-correction, is the philosophical project that has cultivated the wealth & freedom of the modern world. The West has been a custodian of this tradition of criticism, producing societies full rapid, stable, and genuine progress. The clearer people become on this connection, the more they’ll recognize that these principles are what enable our civilization to be freer, safer, and more prosperous. This is the set of ideas we are committed to spreading.~ Reid Nicewonder

Army PSYOP Vet John Kirbow On Combating Nazi Hate & Radical Islam Feb 20, 2026

Show notes

The resurgence of Nazi sympathizers on the American Right demands unflinching scrutiny. That's why I sat down with John Kirbow, a US Army PSYOP veteran and counter-extremism expert, to dissect "Hipster Nazism". Hipster Nazism is a slick, social media-savvy strain of Jew hatred that's infiltrated conservative circles.

Our conversation cuts straight to the core: How do these narratives spread? Why do societies fail to counter them effectively? Kirbow draws on behavioral science, psywar tactics, and real-world examples, including screenshots of Nazi doublespeak, to reveal the psychology of radicalization. We explored meme warfare, satire as a weapon, and the need to transcend tired Left-Right binaries in favor of defending liberty, dignity, and the Constitution against all threats. It's a dialogue that equips viewers with tools to spot and dismantle this poison before it metastasizes further.

I'm very grateful that British Muslim apologist Subboor Ahmad came on the show.

He has a master's degree in philosophy from Birkbeck, University of London, and he focuses on critiquing evolution and atheism while traveling globally to teach Muslims how to articulate Islam to non-Muslims.

Society Lionizes Cowards | Dave Silverman Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

Dave Silverman remains the most uncompromising atheist I've ever met (coming from me, that's quite the statement), and we've been friends for over a decade. Even when we've been on opposite sides of culture-war issues, we've never traded a harsh word.

In this conversation, we talk about why identitarian leftists are unwilling to defend their beliefs, the Atheist movement, #MeToo, and more.
