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 trying to keep things light. He talks about the dangers lurking inside of New York City’s Museum of Ice Cream. Later he dives into the recent events in South Korea. Decades of democratic progress may be on the line as the country’s president declared martial law (under spurious circumstances) for six hours and erupted a political hailstorm as even his own party opposed the action. Alex talks about how this is a warning for other countries, like the United States, because crossing the military-civillian barrier can have serious consequences for democratic institutions.
