Alex Kopytko is a ”radical centrist” that wants to understand the extremes. He has worked in politics and has studied public policy and political science. Alex argues that centrism is less about being a contrarian, it is about being able to change your mind and embrace an openness to new ideas. He is concerned about where the United States is headed and through conversations with people from all sides of the political spectrum, he wants to know how Americans can limit the tribalism that is flourishing. As someone that dances along the center-right of the political spectrum, Alex thinks the country needs to come together and talk to one another before it could be too late. This podcast covers domestic politics, as well as political philosophy, and international issues.

In this episode, Alex starts by going over some updates on the tragic events occurring in Israel and Gaza. Fear and chaos are looming in Gaza as the Israeli government has told over 1.1 million people in Gaza to leave before a likely invasion begins. Alex argues that it is highly unlikely that Gazans would be able to flee the cities and worries that tragedy and destruction is looming. Later, he talks about how some worry that Hezbollah (currently located in Lebanon) is waiting for an invasion into Gaza and then will fight Israel from the north. Alex worries this could be a trap and could also lead to a bigger conflict due to Iranian, Qatari, Syrian, and Iraqi support for Hezbollah. Finally, Alex discusses his growing anger with certain factions of the far-left, progressive left, and intersectional left. There seems to be a segment of the intersectional, progressive left that is anti-Israel to the point that it is buying into Hamas propaganda and is almost defending Hamas. Alex argues that this highlights the contradictions of modern progressivism and is really alarming.
