Episode notes

- Its decay is apparent in moral relativism, anarchic protests, and rejection of traditional institutions.
Western Civilization's Self-Destruction
- Western postmodern leftism promotes civilizational guilt and self-destruction.
- This ideology led the West to comply with forces that seek its demise rather than defend its interests.
Guilt Versus Shame Cultures
