Nathan Pinkoski is a Senior Fellow at the Claremont Institute, the translator of Eric Zemmour’s The Suicide of France, and author of the forthcoming Silent Revolution: The End of the Liberal West. He writes for First Things and Compact and publishes the Substack Lament for the Nations.
In this conversation, we think out loud about:
— Why Zemmour’s Suicide of France sold half a million copies and what it tells the English-speaking world
— How the 1968 revolution conquered society rather than the state — and nobody noticed the difference
— The 10% threshold: when the foreign-born population reaches a certain level, free speech is the price of keeping the peace
— How Britain could dismantle its entire progressive legal architecture in a single statute — and why France, Canada, and America cannot — Pierre Trudeau’s constitutional coup: how Canada became the end game of perverted Westminster, and why only Tony Benn and Enoch Powell saw it coming
— The three deaths of the father: de Gaulle, paternal authority, and the gold standard — and why the West no longer produces leaders
— How Vichy was weaponised to impose collective guilt on the French people and delegitimise national sovereignty
— Why the smartphone killed assimilation and the Ellis Island myth is dead
— Why the only way to save the West is Christian revival
