Unpacking America's Socio-Political Unrest with Nate Fischer: Oliver Anthony, The War Against Trump, REN, BAP, & Jake Meador
Send us a text!The socio-political landscape in America is currently a bed of hot coals, rife with tension and discontent, as the recent viral song "Rich Men North of Richmond" from Oliver Anthony demonstrates. There's a massive disconnect between elites and the working class. Globalism vs. Populism. Christianity Today vs. actual Christians in America today. Joining us for a captivating discussion of this situation is Nate Fischer of New Founding, bringing to light the widening disconnect between the elites and the middle class, and the growing irrelevance of the conservative movement. With Nate, we dive deep into power dynamics and network influences that drive these narratives, exploring the fragility of the current globalist, post-war consensus system.Be prepared for a candid examination of the escalating tension between the liberal order and the increasing use of hard power, such as police threats and arrests, to enforce compliance. We saw this with the recent Trump indictments. Shifting gears, we also explore the appeal of alternative ideologies, the skepticism towards institutionalized food and health systems, the rise of accounts like Raw Egg Nationalist and Bronze Age Pervert, and an alarming trend of labeling anything skeptical of the technocratic regime as 'fascist' or 'Nazi'. Our conversation with Nate culminates in a nuanced understanding of the evolving evangelical movement, its power dynamics, and the motivations behind denouncing rivals. What about the phrase, "No enemies to the right?" What does this mean? We scrutinize the Tim Keller-inspired transition from fundamentalism to anti-fundamentalism and its implications for wealth building. Lastly, we shed light on the vital distinction between enemies and sinners, and the urgent necessity of focusing our collective energy on the left, especially those who have openly declared war on us.
