Summary

Host Reed Galen is joined by Jonathan “Buck” Buchwalter, a veteran of the US Marine Corps Reserve, and Social Studies teacher in Tuscaloosa, Alabama with a focus on History and Philosophy. He’s also developed quite the following as a TikTok creator under the handle @JonsterTruck where he regularly posts history & philosophy videos. Reed and Buck discuss the nature of propaganda through the lens of Nazi Germany and how the “big lie” is a dangerous tool of manipulation, the psychological underpinnings of totalitarian/fascist regimes, the societal impact of social isolation, and the crisis that is modern masculinity and the unattainable standards it imposes on men. Plus, the power of the Tik Tok algorithm and the need for policy change regarding online content.
