Smart Guy, Dumb Guy

In this episode of SGDG we discuss the protest in Portland, the Wall of Moms, and we ask whether or not violence is ever justified. Then in chat 2 we discuss antifa and fascism.

Introductory episode!

In our very first episode we provide a quick introduction to the podcast and what you can expect. Then we jump into two topics. First, racism in France's elite education systems and what it can teach us about America's own racist history. And second, protests songs and what we've learned since 1966.
