Every Society Punishes Blasphemy

With Leonarda Jonie.

Every society has at least one class that is beyond criticism and an incident at Ole Miss is showing how power works in modern America. Some college girls may have made a racial insult, and it’s one of the biggest stories in America. Actual murders get far less attention and outrage. But groups that mobilize on the basis of identity get concessions and “individuals” get demands and lectures. Plus, Leonarda Jonie joins us to discuss the sad state of contemporary, cowardly artists and what it means to work on the edge of the cultural vanguard.
