About this interview: C.J. Hopkins is an American politcal satirist, playwright, novelist, and columnist living in Berlin. During the Pandemic C.J. took aim at overwrought official rhetoric, interpreting a lot of the coronavirus response as an opportunistic, authoritarian power grab by the global neoliberal project. C.J. has been critical of lockdowns, mandates and the use of emotional terror as a propaganda tool, to essentially strip us of our liberties and freedoms. C.J. talks about how he lost friends and colleagues because of his views, and refused to self censor. If anything the "new normal" has made him even more outspoken. I hope you enjoy the conversation.
