Happy 250th! (thread 13), Episode 9: When 'Freedom' Looked Like Chaos: The Strange Case of George Fitzhugh

Come listen as we unpack the baffling, infuriating case of George Fitzhugh, the 19th-century thinker who argued slavery was better than freedom. It's wild, uncomfortable, and a sharp look at how intelligence can still justify awful ideas.

We trace his attack on liberty, his unexpected critiques of capitalism, and how history answered him. Short, honest, and a little jaw-dropping.
