Matthew Ed Moran Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 You must not be paying very close attention, because there have been call-ins and interviews which either directly or indirectly focus on Trump in the past two weeks. Just because one media story or another hasn't been commented on in the show doesn't mean Stefan has been "silent." This level of imprecision and emotionality is typical of concern trolls, whether you are one or not. And if you think the Trump coverage is to be taken literally, then you do not understand philosophy. The Collapse of Rome presentation is not on Trump specifically, but the historical analysis and comparison to present day is to highlight the themes of history repeating themselves. When Stefan covered Trump, his divergence on immigration was a very large reason why he was noteworthy, since great empires such as Rome have fallen from political favors being given out to barbarians who come from outside the country, to keep politicians in power, which destroy the values which built the empire's success in the first place. It's a philosophy show, so it would be pointless to focus on one individual. Look for the themes and you will see the reasons why any topic is being covered, in general. In fact Stefan is usually quite explicit why he has been covering Trump. If you're curious why the Khan story hasn't been the topic of any recent video, I think it's because anybody who doesn't see the trend in the media by now, given all the effort Stefan has put already towards exposing it, probably will never get it.

Guest Gee Posted August 9, 2016 Posted August 9, 2016 ... and I'm wondering why. It's clearly the most news-packed couple of weeks in his candidacy. Daily happenings, 28 pages (Saudi's linked to 9/11), More Hillary murders (The guy who served the DNC fraud case), Your boy, Kahn, linked to the Clinton Foundation by payment (pic. related), HIllary health scandal (check out Cernovich's twitter), Polishing off the Rome presentation, Life. Don't know how they do it.
