Summary

It’s Christmas Eve, and what’s more germane to the holiday season than some lengthy rambling about authoritarianism? Of course, today’s Ruminant is a little more nuanced than that. It also digs into how political states emerge in the first place, why Russia is becoming a “really crappy” country, and how to distinguish between valid criticism of American foreign policy toward Ukraine and toadying to Vladimir Putin. On the lighter side, Jonah also answers a few questions that arose after the week’s earlier episode with the Fair Jessica. We wish you all a wonderful holiday!

1:33.1	some questions about all that. Some people didn't know about the title nine
1:38.5	stuff. Jessica, when I first met Jessica, she, I want to get this chronology
1:46.5	right. She was at the philanthropy magazine, but then she went to be a, to work
2:03.1	at, to do research, I believe it was at the independent women's forum and
2:08.4	about title nine and she turned that into a book called Tilting the Playing
