Episode 23 | Delano Squires
If politics is upstream from culture, Americans need a serious reality check. Ruling elites have used the deterioration of civil society to consolidate their power in a doomed effort to push an unpopular agenda. That has to change.Three generations of elites — from Washington to Hollywood — have promised young Americans that severing the natural connections between sex, marriage, commitment, kids, and parenthood would be “liberating.” It has been anything but. The fact is, there is a policy and a civic component to revitalizing our institutions, communities, and human connections.Delano and Kevin discuss the implications –and viable solutions– of a failing education system, the attack on the nuclear family, and a society where dads are replaced with government.
