Episode 34: Henry David Thoreau on Capitalism and the Need for Civil Disobedience

In this natural follow-up to the Emerson episode from a couple videos back, we'll see what Henry David Thoreau thought about how and when it's appropriate to disagree with your government. On this show, we of course simply agree with whatever Jake Tapper says, and so this is absolutely not related to contemporary events in Washington D.C. -- but, Thoreau suggested that if a government gets bad enough, you might, sometimes, under certain circumstances, be justified in... telling it to shove it. There's also some good bits on Transcendentalism and nature, implications for Natural Law... and some visuals! Here's the Patreon link: https://www.patreon.com/Godward?fan_landing=true
