Episode notes

The Russian perspective on world war is very different to that of the west. 27 million Russians died in the second world war, I versus america wasn't even half a million casualties. The heroism of all the people who helped stop nartiism is beyondquest but er, you have to understand this sort of counting the dead is not really how you do it.

Shermer and Kisin discuss: growing up in Russia • “The Talk” Russian parents give their children • What is the “West” and how do Russians view it • Should Whites feel some guilt for slavery, racism, misogyny, bigotry, etc.? • systemic racism: criminal justice, housing, employment, income, wealth • Critical Race Theory (CRT) • immigration • free, private, and public speech • how language is used to distort truth • the origin of “political correctness” • journalism vs. activism • capitalism • and how the West could be lost.
