And he has all the philosophical insight you’d expect - from faith, perseverance, education, resilience, and death. We strongly recommend this one.

Purplepingers AKA Jordan van den Lamb is the guy you may know because he stood up to dodgy landlords. Turns out his social awareness stretches beyond tenant rights, to the point where he’s now making a bid for the senate in the next election #pingers4parliament. In this politically charged Wilosophy, the South African-born socialist shares his take on everything from Palestine, nationalising airlines, workers’ rights and... his private school upbringing.
