E183. Konstantin Kisin Wants To Be Better

Konstantin Kisin (Triggernometry) sits down with Bridget to discuss his new book, An Immigrant's Love Letter To The West . They have a fascinating conversation about their jobs as culture war commentators, how it affects them, how to push back thoughtfully and not wind up in a crazy place, how he processes Ukraine since he has family both there and in Russia, trying to explain to people in the West how people not in the West are thinking, and how to communicate a message that's easier for people to hear. They also cover the best way to be productive, the joys of Substack, where distrust of mainstream media can lead people, why real privilege is 21st century privilege, and countering narratives that are fundamentally destructive to Western civilization.
