New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 113 Is nationalism the answer to our Woke woes? Well, yes and no, and mostly no, and to be that guy, it depends on what you mean by "nationalism." In fact, there are lots of ways to define both nationalism and the nation to which a nationalist program would be ideologically committed.

Join him to get a wider perspective on this important issue. New book!
