To celebrate another major milestone, 1 000 000 total views, I read and analyse another one of my favourite essays: 'After Empire' by Theodore Dalrymple (Published in States and Cities).

I am joined by Joshua Meservey, a senior fellow at Hudson Institute with a focus on great power competition in Africa, African geopolitics and policy, and counterterrorism. We discuss the strained relationship between the South African government and Washington, who is to blame, where the trouble started, AGOA, tariffs, what the future of the relationship looks like, and more.

I am joined by American political commentator, writer and podcaster, Dave Greene (The Distributist), to discuss how young men should act and organise in order to deal with the tough, chaotic realities of the 21st century as civilization buckles and shakes around them.

I am joined by author and political analyst Alex Newman to discuss the phenomenon where an increasing amount of left-wing politicians in the United States and other Western countries are taking inspiration from the ANC's policies in South Africa. The most recent example wat the new mayor of New York, Zohran Mamdani, who said in his swearing in address that he takes inspiration from the ANCs ideological document, the Freedom Charter document.

I'm joined by economist Russell Lamberti to discuss an old world/paradigm/gods dying while new ones struggle to be born. We also discuss who will be the likely winners that will shape the 21st century, how change can be negative, and how adept humans are at normalising decay and chaos.

I am joined by Henk Schalekamp, Managing Director at Kanton, a real estate investment company that "partners culture with capital" and that is creating "living spaces for Afrikaans"." Kanton, as part of the Solidarity Movement, is the main company behind the new R3.2 billion Afrikaans, Christian Akademia university campus being built outside of Pretoria.

Dr. Ernst Roets, the head of Lex Libertas, joins me to discuss the nature of Afrikaner identity in the 21st century, the latest AfroBarometer data that shows that the amount of South Africans who primarily identify according to their ethnic identity has greatly increased, while those who primarily identify with their South African national identity has dropped drastically, how Afrikaners reacted to the end of Apartheid, and more.

I am joined by Duncan Reyburn, an author, Associate Professor and scholar with work mainly on René Girard, Marshall McLuhan, and GK Chesterton, as well as Kruptos, a Christian commentator and writer. I brought these two thinkers together to discuss the recent debate within and between conservative, libertarian and classically liberal circles regarding the dichotomy between individualism and collectivism. Both my guests don't think its's that simple. This debate was ignited after New York mayor Zohran Mamdani said in his inaugural address that, "We will replace the frigidity of rugged individualism with the warmth of collectivism."
