Konstantin Kisin: In a Society Gone Mad, Don’t Be a Useful Idiot

“That’s one of the things I learned growing up in my early years in the Soviet Union … When society goes mad, it’s your job … to be honest and truthful about what’s going on.” In this episode, we sit down with Konstantin Kisin, the London-based co-host of the “TRIGGERnometry” podcast and author of the upcoming book, “An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West.” We discuss our current political moment, from vaccine mandates to the spread of critical race theory. “Do not suspend your own judgment about right and wrong, about morality, about truth and justice, for the sake of some system or some oppressive ideology or for convenience or for not being fired from work. Do not be a useful idiot because you will regret it,” Kisin says. Thank you American Hartford Gold for sponsoring American Thought Leaders.
