In this episode of The Grail Standard, Sir Yvain explores a troubling trend in modern culture: the slow abandonment of chivalry, moral clarity, and objective virtue. Using real-world examples, he examines how ideology can convince good people to justify attitudes and behaviours they once knew were wrong — and how small compromises can lead individuals far away from the path of honour.

We discuss:

  • How modern ideology changes moral definitions

  • Why "it's not racism without institutional power" is a dangerous belief

  • The Louis Farrakhan example and why moral consistency matters

  • How relativism leads to hypocrisy and cultural decay

  • Why every person needs a fixed moral code to avoid corruption

  • How chivalry protects individuals from slow moral decline

  • Why vigilance is essential in an age of shifting narratives

Sir Yvain lays out a clear warning:
When you abandon chivalry, ideology fills the void — and ideology will always demand that you justify what you once condemned.

Hold fast to your code.
Walk the Grail Path.
Stay vigilant.

Thank you for listening to The Grail Standard.
