Our guest is Kit Cabello, the founder of Hard Lens Media, a Chicago-based independent news network.
In this episode, Nick and Kit delve into the burden of student debt and the need for affordable education. The conversation touches on the impact of technology on human connection and the dangers of AI without ethical considerations. They discuss the failings of the political establishment and the need for transparency and change.
The conversation explores the frustration and disillusionment with the current political system and the lack of long-term activation and leadership in progressive movements. It discusses the co-opting of movements by political insiders and the need for citizen ballot initiatives to hold the government accountable.
As a veteran, Kit talks through his experience, the cost of war, and the challenges faced by veterans trying to re-assimilate into normal life. They also talk about political homelessness and the search for representation that aligns with personal values. They discuss the lack of leadership and divisions on the left, specifically in relation to the 2020 election and the “Force the Vote” movement.
The conversation also delves into the reasons for leftist infighting and the dangers of authoritarianism on the left. They explore the deeper failures of the Democratic Party, frustrations with the two-party system, and the importance of moving forward after the 2024 election.
I hope you enjoyed this conversation with Kit, and it helps you go through life with your eyes wide open.
