Navigating Global Decline: Ideologies and Demographics

In this gripping episode recorded on April 8, 2025, Johan Gärdebo, Alexander Bard, Ralph Schoellhammer, and Benedict Beckeld dive into the chaotic aftermath of Donald Trump’s second term and its seismic impact on a faltering Europe. With the U.S. embracing trade wars and isolationism, and Europe likened to a "retirement home run by demented senior citizens," the panel dissects a continent grappling with demographic collapse, a leadership void, and the looming end of NATO. Is a European renaissance possible, or will migration, secular decline, and resurgent national rivalries usher in anarchy—or even a new pagan revival? From Trump’s pragmatic gambles to Poland’s rise and the specter of civil unrest, this is a raw, provocative look at a West in crisis—and the radical ideas that might save it. History is back, and the stakes couldn’t be higher.
