About this episode
In the history of Western civilization, there have been periods of relative peace, followed by stagnation, war and rebirth. This cycle has repeated multiple times, and is seemingly brought about by inexorable cultural processes. Many have speculated the West is in a period of decline, but signs of a rebirth are not completely absent. Tonight’s guest, Mike from Imperium Press, has written ‘The Cultured Thug Handbook’ - putting forth the notion that to bring us out of the depths of decay, we must enculture our leaders to break free of the stasis of the now, and capture the possibilities of the future by embracing their inner thug - a return to the warrior - a philosopher king.-- Brought to you by --Very special guest Mike from Imperium Press- Substack - https://imperiumpress.substack.com/- Podcast - https://hearthfireradio.com/- Telegram - @ImperiumPress - Twitter - @kulturedads- imperiumpress.orgwith Adam Smith and Hans Lander--New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html- http://myth20c.com~~-- Donations --~~Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ- https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/- http://theamericansun.com- http://twitter.com/myth20c- myth20c@tutanota.com- http://gab.ai/myth20c-- References --- Parallel Lives, Plutarch (1470)- The Ancient City, Fustel de Coulanges (1864)- Cycles in History - The Fourth Turning, Myth of the 20th Century (2017) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2017/11/15/cycles-in-history-the-fourth-turning/- Biological Leninism, Spandrell (2017) - https://archive.org/details/spandrell-biological-lenninism- National System of Political Economy, List and O’Beirne (2022) - https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/national-system-of-political-economy/- The Populist Delusion, Parvini (2022) - https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/populist-delusion/- Friedrich List - National System of Political Economy, Myth of the 20th Century (2024) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2024/04/07/friedrich-list-national-system-of-political-economy/- Mitra-Varuna (Indo-European) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitra-Varuna_(Indo-European)- Master–slave morality - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master%E2%80%93slave_morality- Wolves of Vinland - https://newreligiousmovements.org/v-z/wolves-of-vinland/-Recommended Authors:> Homer> Hans Herman Hoppe> Karl Ludwig von Haller> The Book of Job> Joseph de Maistre> Robert Filmer Get full access to The American Sun at theamericansun.substack.com/subscribe
