On this week’s episode of The Current Thing I am joined once again by Dr Neema Parvini AKA Academic Agent. This time we focus on his recent series of videos debunking popular right wing ideas. We discuss: -The problem with nationalism -Why the ‘free market’ doesn’t really exist -Why the declining birth right is a good thing -Why having a family isn’t everything -Why Neema has no faith in Reform UK or Trump And much more!

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
