My Trip to El Salvador
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comI visited El Salvador for the first time. What was it like?

Trump Federalizes the D.C. Police
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn this episode of Restoring Order, I provide some immigration white-pills, explore President Trump’s recent decision to federalize MPD, and take a look at what the data says about crime in the nation’s capital. I start off by discussing a recent report from the Center for Immigration Studies, which reveals a 2.2 million decline in the foreign-born population. I explain why this is the direct result of Trump’s policies – and why we’re just getting started. I then refute the myth that Obama deported tons of illegals. Shifting gears, I recap what transpired last week with the attack on Big Balls. I then explain what Trump has done in the wake of that attack, including his decision to take control of D.C. police. This leads to a question: Why is the left so opposed to law and order? I discuss some of the dynamics at play. Toward the end of the first half, I watch some TikToks from D.C. locals, who are quite shocked by this turn of events. In the second half (available to subscribers), I take a look at the left’s response to the federalization of MPD. I review a recent piece from Robert Reich, in which he argues that Trump’s move to federalize MPD is a test run for taking over the country. Clearly, he’s nuts. But then again, Trump did float the idea of doing similar things elsewhere, in cities like Chicago. Moving along, some argue that crime in D.C. isn’t that bad. I examine the data. But can we trust it? After all, a D.C. police commander was fired in May for undercounting certain felonies. Tune in to find out the truth about crime in the nation’s capital.

Religion on the Right
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comOn this week’s episode of Restoring Order, I cover Trump’s debanking executive order, the attack on the DOGE staffer in D.C., why Mr. Brightside is a terrible song, and the intersection of religion and politics on the right. First, I review Trump’s executive order on debanking, explaining why it’s so necessary. I contrast debanking with other forms of deplatforming and argue that it is far worse. I then discuss the attack on Edward Coristine, otherwise known as Big Balls. I talk about crime in D.C. and Trump’s response. Toward the end of the first half, I explain why Mr. Brightside should be banned. In the second half (available to subscribers), I dive into the religion topic. BAP recently argued that it’s time for the secular right to run things. What does he mean by that? Does he have a point? I also discuss some of the counterarguments people on Twitter responded with. I argue that both sides, despite their differences, are talking past each other since everyone involved in the debate likes Trump, who, in my view, strikes an ideal balance between religiosity and secularism. I then review the 2024 religious voting trends and overall trends in American religion. Has Christianity declined? Where are we headed as a country? Tune in to find out. Note: I missed last week’s episode, so I’ll be sure to do an extra one before the month ends. Apologies!

Trump's War on Anti-White Discrimination
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comWhat is Trump doing to combat anti-white discrimination? Have there been multiple "great replacements" throughout American history? And what are we to make of the whites-only town in Arkansas? Join me as I explore these and other issues. I first discuss Trump bringing Columbia to heel, and then talk about the Trump admin's broader war on race communism. I then outline what the administration has done well. Next up: immigration and American identity. And what do I mean when I say there have been multiple great replacements throughout American history? In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I discuss Return to the Land, a white nationalist town in Arkansas that recently went viral. I outline my misgivings, explaining that while I support freedom of association, getting a bunch of people who listen to racist podcasts to move into the same town and broadcasting it to the world isn't the best idea. I detail the failures of the white nationalist movement and explain why people involved tend to disavow it all and become liberals. Is there a better way to go about things? Tune in to find out.

The Age of Envy ft. Forrest Maready
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comForrest Maready is an author who previously worked in the film, television, and advertising industries. He joins me to discuss his recent book, The Age of Envy: 1848-Present.To begin, I ask Forrest about his background. We hear about what it was like to work on movies and his unique take on Christianity. Moving on to his book, I ask about the significance of 1848. Forrest explains why he centered his book around three events that took place that year. This leads to a discussion on how the steam-powered printing press, train, and telegraph changed how humanity perceives itself—and not always for the best. Envy, Forrest argues, is in many ways downstream from technology. And as we all know, envy is a central component of leftism. In the second half (available to subscribers), we explore whether envy is inevitable, given how natural inequality is. This leads to a consideration of democracy and how it measures up to pre-democratic political systems. I argue that while we must be pragmatic – there’s no bringing back monarchy – we should be honest about how mass democracy impedes certain political reforms. Shifting gears, Forrest discusses the concept of post-truth. How can nations continue to exist when people have widely different conceptions of reality? We wrap up the show by pondering if envy will destroy civilization—or if there’s a way out of the madness. Buy the bookForrest’s Amazon pageForrest’s websiteFollow Forrest on Twitter

The Essential Paul Gottfried ft. Nightmare Vision
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comNightmare Vision is a prolific Twitter poster and a cohost of the popular Night Owls podcast. He edited The Essential Paul Gottfried, Essays from 1984–2024, which Passage Press will publish on August 19. To begin, I ask NV whether he and his cohost, Future Moldovan Citizen, are obligated to agree with each other on everything. This leads to a retrospective on Night Owls, which is celebrating its first anniversary sometime this month. I ask NV whether Night Owls is a synecdoche for something much bigger. We then discuss the role of the internet in shaping the right. I ask NV how he found himself as the Gottfried collection’s editor. He explains how it happened and talks about the challenges associated with editing down decades’ worth of writing. We then get to the book, the first chapter of which is about fascism and anti-fascism. Why start there?In the second half (available to subscribers), we discuss a Gottfried essay on Karl Marx and wokeness. Gottfried argues that Marx wasn’t woke – but why? Next, we move on to the chapter on the Germans, whose contributions to civilization Gottfried is particularly fond of. NV explains Gottfried’s thoughts on the tragedy of post-war German identity. We also cover Gottfried’s writings on the right, from the old-school paleocons to the alt-right. Despite coining both terms, Gottfried no longer uses the latter. Why is that? Tune in to find out.

The Life and Times of Delicious Tacos ft. DT
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comWriter and poster Delicious Tacos joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on life, work, and love in the modern world. To begin, Tacos outlines his views and explains why he isn’t a political writer. We then get into his posting career and discuss why his work can be likened to a time capsule. Next, we discuss online dating. Tacos explains how the shift from websites like OkCupid to apps like Tinder changed the game. We consider how online dating platforms select for different traits, favoring some men over others. We then discuss how political polarization reshaped online dating. Tacos shares a few personal anecdotes and offers some advice to younger guys toward the end of the first half. In the second half (available to subscribers), Tacos wraps up his advice by encouraging people to find ways to get outside their heads. We then shift gears to discuss how America has changed in recent years. Tacos argues that there has, in fact, been a vibe shift and that America is moving in a saner direction. We talk for a bit about internecine right-wing feuding. I point out that we saw quite a bit after Trump’s 2016 victory, so some fracturing this year is to be expected. Returning to the subject of dating, I ask Tacos if he thinks the odd state of sexual relations will get weirder as time goes on – thanks in large part to technological changes – or if things have settled a bit in that regard. We then consider the relationship between technology and community for a bit, and close out with Tacos offering some tips for aspiring writers.

It should be listenable nonetheless.)

Is Transhumanism Inevitable? ft. Joe Allen
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comJoe Allen is a writer and tech correspondent at Steve Bannon’s War Room. He joins me for a broad discussion on technology, transhumanism, and his book, Dark Aeon: Transhumanism and the War Against Humanity. To begin, Joe recounts his intellectual journey. We hear about his work at the War Room. Then we shift to the topic at hand: technology. I argue that we are in the early stages of a wildly disruptive technological wave. This leads to a discussion of futurism, transhumanism, and post-humanism – what they are, and how they differ. We then consider whether technological development is inevitable. The answer is complicated. We talk about AI 2027, a recent report from a few AI experts that predicts artificial intelligence could annihilate humanity in two years. This leads to some musings on the rationalist scene, from which AI 2027 came. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I ask Joe why he's so worried about transhumanism. He outlines his two main reasons, explaining that transhuman ideology can be destructive even if the technological advances it promises never come to be. We then shift gears to talk about Yuval Harari, and whether he is the evil transhumanist figure some believe him to be. Later, we consider the relationship between religion and technology. Toward the end of the show, we discuss the challenges technology presents to man, particularly the challenge of remaining human. Buy Dark Aeon Follow Joe on TwitterSubscribe to Joe’s Substack

The 2025 Los Angeles Riots ft. Josiah Lippincott
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comJosiah Lippincott is a veteran of the Marine Corps, where he served as an artillery officer. He is also a prolific Twitter poster, writer, and PhD candidate at Hillsdale College. He joins me for a broad discussion on the Los Angeles riots. We begin by discussing the Big Beautiful Bill. What does it do? Why are some on the right attacking it? Josiah reminds us that Trump ran on immigration, not the deficit. Speaking of immigration, we change topics to the Los Angeles riots, covering how and why they began. Josiah offers his take. This leads to a consideration of the third-world dysfunction we’ve imported thanks to mass immigration. We argue that order is a prerequisite to liberty – and that increased diversity is a threat to both. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), I ask Josiah for his thoughts on how the authorities have handled the riots so far. Shockingly, he tells us that he thinks they should crack down much harder. I play devil's advocate and ask if that would hurt the GOP in midterms and 2028. This leads to a discussion on the logistics of restoring order to the streets of Los Angeles. Toward the end of the show, I ask Josiah whether he thinks Gavin Newsom should be arrested. We discuss ways the Trump administration can disincentivize future rioting. And are these riots organic or planned? Tune in to find out. Follow Josiah on XSubscribe to Josiah’s Substack

Was DOGE a Dud? ft. PEG
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comPascal-Emmanuel Gobry is a Twitter pundit and the Publisher of PolicySphere. He joins me to discuss his work, DOGE, and the future of the American right. First, we hear about PEG’s background. How did a Frenchman come to be so invested in American politics? He explains that he is carrying on the fine French tradition of lecturing Americans about their own country. We then discuss PolicySphere and the importance of understanding how the government works. Switching gears, we consider DOGE. Did it succeed? Was it a failure? PEG explains why laying off bureaucrats doesn’t always render the government more efficient. Toward the end of the first half, we discuss the different skill sets required for public and private sector work. In the second half (available to subscribers), PEG and I point out the silver lining to DOGE. We then switch topics to discuss PolicySphere’s quality of life agenda. PEG explains that while Trump’s 2024 victory was heartening, we shouldn’t ignore the fact that not all Trump voters are committed Republicans. So, how do we keep their vote? By improving their quality of life through policies designed to keep America safe, orderly, happy, and healthy. What might those be? Tune in to find out.

How Trump Can Help the Afrikaners ft. Conscious Caracal
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comErnst J. van Zyl (Conscious Caracal) is Head of Public Relations at AfriForum, an Afrikaner advocacy organization. He joins me for a discussion on the situation in South Africa. We first hear about Ernst’s upbringing. What was it like to grow up in South Africa? We then discuss AfriForum’s objectives and initiatives. This leads to a consideration of the overall situation in South Africa. Is it really as bad as it’s made out to be? Next, we discuss the country’s complex demographic makeup and how it contributes to the chaos. At the end of the first half, I ask Ernst if there are any liberals among South Africa’s white minority – and if so, what the hell they’re thinking. In the second half (available to subscribers), we shift gears to explore recent events. What has it been like for Ernst and his compatriots to witness the U.S. president not only bringing attention to their cause but also taking action? Ernst gives us his take on the refugee program, and I ask him what else the Trump administration can do to assist. This leads to a consideration of the options available to Afrikaners – namely, electoral politics versus building parallel institutions. As Ernst explains, AfriForum is primarily concerned with the latter. Toward the end, I ask whether he sees any parallels between America and South Africa.

Freedom and Decline ft. Bronze Age Pervert
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comI’m joined by legendary Twitter poster, writer, and podcaster Bronze Age Pervert for a sprawling discussion on his work, American politics, religion, and much more. To begin, BAP recounts the origin of his posting career. I ask what Twitter was like before 2016, and how it has changed over the years. This leads to a consideration of whether the term “dissident right” is at all useful anymore. We then talk about how right-wing Twitter has gotten dumber in recent years. BAP calls a few people out. I ask him what advice he has for young men, leading to a discussion on political strategy. Is infiltrating institutions the right move? We then consider the “don’t go to college” meme that conservatives love to regurgitate. In the second half (available to subscribers, you must SUBSCRIBE!), we shift gears to talk about BAP's book, Bronze Age Mindset. What inspired him to write it? This leads to a discussion on the role freedom plays in his thought. BAP gives us a history lesson on the origin of the warrior class in the Bronze Age and the uniqueness of Indo-European culture. After pondering what BAP will do after the show concludes – drink? read erotic literature? – we change topics to discuss religion. We explore the complex relationship between religion and politics, including the problem with do-nothing "Christian conservatives" who opposed Trump yet have him to thank for their biggest wins. Toward the end, we discuss President Trump and his significance. What would things be like without him? Tune in to find out.

German Political Tumult ft. eugyppius
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comI’m joined by writer and Twitter poster eugyppius for a broad discussion on German politics. We first hear about his intellectual journey, which leads to a discussion on a recent Twitter argument he had with Vice President Vance. Next, we discuss the role American soft power plays in European politics. Is America to blame for European decline? eugyppius argues to the contrary. We then dive into Germany’s February election, which saw the right-wing AfD take second place. In response, German intelligence labeled it an extremist organization. What are the implications of that? (Note: This episode was recorded before German intelligence withdrew its extremist classification for AfD.)In the second half (available to subscribers), we continue our discussion of AfD's troubles. Interestingly, the German government tried to ban a different right-wing party in recent years – did it work? I then ask what the average AfD voter is like. Switching gears, we consider why the AfD is stronger in the east than in the west. Next, I ask eugyppius about Chancellor Merz's failure to secure a majority in the first round of voting, an unprecedented occurrence in post-war Germany. Later, we discuss Germany's economy, the various motivations behind mass migration, and more.Follow eugyppius on TwitterSubscribe to eugyppius on Substack

How the Internet Shapes Human Interactions ft. Mark Granza
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comMark Granza is the founder and editor-in-chief of IM-1776. He joins me to discuss how the internet, particularly social media, shapes our interactions. To begin, Mark tells us about his intellectual journey and the creation of IM-1776. We then switch gears to discuss his recent essay, “No Honor Among Mutuals,” which explores how online interactions differ from the normal way men are used to relating to each other. Offline, male feuding can lead to brotherhood; online, however, this is rarely the case. Why is that?In the second half (available to subscribers), we continue discussing the strange relationship between the internet and human interactions. We consider whether most online feuding would happen if the people involved were forced to regularly see each other in real life – and if not, why not? We then discuss how the internet turns people into abstractions and how this affects our online interactions. Toward the end of the show, we cover the motivations and incentives that drive online behavior: money, clout, ego...which is the most powerful? Tune in to find out.

He joins me for a broad discussion on North American politics and Jacques Ellul. To begin, Kruptos recounts his intellectual journey. We then consider the differences between Canadian and American politics. What effect, if any, have President Trump’s tariffs and threat of annexation had on the upcoming Canadian election? Kruptos offers a sympathetic, though not entirely uncritical, outsider perspective on Trump. Toward the end of the first half, we ponder whether the tariffs were in fact 5D chess as some have claimed. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers), we consider the many ways the right has changed since Trump came down the escalator in 2015. We explore how the dissident right has changed over the years, particularly since Trump won reelection. We then switch gears to discuss the French philosopher Jacques Ellul. Kruptos provides a summary of his main ideas. What does the term technique mean within Ellul’s work? How do his ideas on technology relate to propaganda? Tune in to find out.

A European Perspective on the Ukraine War ft. Bleppsama
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comI’m joined by Finnish Twitter poster Bleppsama for a discussion on the Ukraine war. To begin, I ask Blepps if the war is subject to the same level of political polarization as it is in America. He explains why Europeans – liberal or conservative – tend to support Ukraine on average. Next up, we discuss demoralization, with Blepps offering some constructive advice for online right-wingers who have given in to it. We discuss the need to have a positive vision for the future, even if it’s a bit idealistic. Later, I ask Blepps what’s best for Europe: defeating Russia or prolonging the war in the hope that Ukraine reclaims its lost territory? In the second half, available to subscribers, we consider whether Trump urging Europe to cover its own defense could benefit the continent. I then ask Blepps if this might result in more Chinese influence in Europe. Switching gears, we discuss Russia’s territorial ambitions. Before the episode concludes, I ask Blepps if Putin’s regime is domestically secure.Follow Blepps on Twitter

He joins me for a sprawling discussion on the history of American identity. To begin, Lafayette shares his ideological journey. We then move on to our main topic: identity. What is it? I ask Lafayette about how his conception of American identity differs from Vivek Ramaswamy’s. This leads to a discussion on the problems with a purely ideological national identity. We then explore the racial and ethnic dimensions of historical American identity and consider their relevance to our country today. In the second half, we discuss the role religion – specifically, Protestantism – has played in shaping America. Next up, the American creed. How has it changed over the years? We then consider how American identity has eroded over time. That being the case, what are we to do?

He joins me for a broad discussion on his posting career, Trump, the Harry Sisson scandal, and the future of the Democratic Party. To begin, I ask Perry how he came to be such a fixture of right-wing Twitter. This leads to some reminiscing on the 2024 election—in particular, the Republican primary. We then learn a little more about Perry. How did he lose hundreds of pounds? Where did he meet his fiancé? (Hint: on Twitter). Next, we shift gears to discuss what one might call the alpha male mindset. Perry explains that there’s more to the label than humor and irony. In the second half of the show (available to subscribers, link in reply), I ask Perry an important question: Is Harry Sisson an alpha male? His answer might surprise you. We talk about the Sisson leaks and consider whether he will be canceled. Was it an op to dispel the gay accusations? This leads to a broad discussion on the role (if any) masculinity plays in the Democratic Party. Later, I ask Perry whether the Democrats will moderate ahead of midterms and the 2028 presidential election. And if they attempt to do so, will it even work? Tune in to find out.

Beyond the Vibe Shift ft. Isaac Simpson
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comIsaac Simpson is a professional marketer, writer, and podcaster. He joins me for a broad discussion on art, public relations, and politics. First, Isaac recounts his intellectual journey. This leads to a discussion on marketing. Isaac offers a conservative perspective on the industry shaped by firsthand experience. We then talk about the vibe shift underway in America. Has this led to more artists and creative types defecting from the left? Next, we argue that Anora was not a good movie. Toward the end of the first half, we explore the relationship between art and politics. In the second half of the show, available to subscribers, we shift gears to discuss Edward Bernays. Who was he? What were his main ideas? This leads to a broad discussion of public relations and mass media. What role does patronage play in marketing? Before the show concludes, we discuss how these ideas relate to right-wing politics.Follow Isaac on TwitterSubscribe to Isaac’s SubstackWILL

Ending Wokeness for Good ft. Nathan Cofnas
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comDr. Nathan Cofnas is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Cambridge. He joins me for a broad discussion of his ideas. To begin, Nathan tells us about Cambridge’s attempts to cancel him. We then discuss why, in his view, conservatives have failed to effectively oppose wokeness. Nathan argues that hereditarianism is the only way forward. I then ask if leftists could accept hbd without altering their ideological framework. And what of normal people? Would the masses ever go along with hereditarianism? Switching gears, we discuss whether civil rights law is in fact the origin of wokeness. Nathan argues that it is not. Toward the end of the first half, we begin our consideration of what Nathan has termed “the right’s stupidity problem.” In the second half, available to subscribers (link in reply), we continue our discussion of the right's stupidity problem. We then switch topics to the so-called "Jewish question." What is it? This leads to a discussion of Nathan's debate with Kevin MacDonald, and why both liberal speech restrictions and right-wing Jew obsession render a sober discussion of the issue difficult. Nathan argues that any political movement, right or left, that isn't explicitly anti-Semitic will attract Jewish people. We then consider the unique post-war historical circumstances that led American Jews to lean left on political and cultural issues. The show concludes with Nathan offering a few thoughts on the hereditarian revolution, which, he argues, "hasn't been tried."Follow Nathan on TwitterSubscribe to Nathan on Substack Nathan’s website

How Is Trump 47 Doing on Immigration? ft. Jason Richwine
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comDr. Jason Richwine is a political commentator and author. He holds a PhD in Public Policy from Harvard University and is a resident scholar at the Center for Immigration Studies. Jason joins me for a broad discussion on immigration and American politics. We begin by discussing Jason’s background and cancellation. What happened? I ask him if the right has moved beyond cancel culture. We then consider Trump 47’s progress on immigration so far. Are mass deportations happening? If not, how much of that can be blamed on ICE’s budgetary limitations? I then ask Jason about the border wall. Is that still happening? In the show’s second half (available to subscribers), we continue our discussion of illegal immigration. Jason argues that immigration, legal or illegal, has many of the same consequences. We then discuss and refute several arguments made in favor of cheap foreign labor. How does mass immigration relate to the growing phenomenon of men opting out of the labor force? Shifting gears, we consider legal immigration. What will the Trump administration do on this front? Toward the end of the show, I ask Jason whether demographics are still destiny, in light of Trump's considerable gains among certain minority groups in 2024.

Natalism and Civilization ft. Bennett's Phylactery
This is a free preview of a paid episode.

To begin, Kevin tells us about his upcoming Natal Conference. (Sign up using the promo code CASEY to get 10% off.) He then outlines the problem: plummeting birthrates in nearly every country. Why is this happening? Kevin argues that most explanations for this phenomenon are inadequate and offers his own theory. This leads to a consideration of several commonly cited culprits, including technology and money. In the second half, available to subscribers, we continue our discussion of the economic factor. Does offering financial incentives work? Sort of. But as Kevin explains, there is a ceiling for these interventions. We then discuss the role social status plays in the decision to have children. Can we easily reshape American society so that having lots of children is once again high status? Toward the end of the show, we discuss Israel, the only first world country with an above-replacement fertility rate. What’s going on there? Is it sustainable? Tune in to find out.

To begin, we discuss Forney’s intellectual journey. We then talk about Trump 47 so far. Why has it proven so much better than Trump 45? What’s different this time around?

In the second half, available to subscribers, we confront the "dissident right" term. Does it still have any value? Should it be discarded? We then talk about how the online/dissident right has evolved over the years. What are some lessons learned? Shifting gears, we consider the role culture plays in politics.

The Decline of the West ft. Spergler Acolyte
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comI’m joined by Spergler Acolyte for a wide-ranging discussion on President Trump, America, and Oswald Spengler. In the first half, we begin by hearing Spergler’s origin story. How did he come to be right-wing? Then we discuss Trump’s first week and outline our expectations for the rest of his second term. This leads to a consideration of Trump’s historical significance and a brief review of the history of American citizenship. Shifting gears, Spengler explains why Counterstrike has gone woke. In the second half (available to subscribers), we delve further into Oswald Spengler's work. Was it purely scientific or more of a poetic metaphor? We later discuss Spengler's culture-civilization dichotomy. I ask if decline can be reversed – and if not, what people who find themselves in the late civilization phase should do. Spergler, drawing from Spengler, offers some advice.Follow Spergler on TwitterSubscribe to Spergler’s Substack

The Third Awokening ft. Eric Kaufmann
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comEric Kaufmann is Professor of Politics at the University of Buckingham. He joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on wokeness, identity, and immigration. To begin, I ask Prof. Kaufmann about his intellectual journey. Was he always right of center? We then get into his latest book, The Third Awokening. After Prof. Kaufmann defines wokeness for us, we discuss its origins. While some have pointed to civil rights law as the origin of wokeness, he argues to the contrary. In the first half, we also discuss the “woke right” nonsense that has made the rounds on Twitter and the connection between mental illness and wokeness. In the second half, available to subscribers, we continue our discussion of Prof. Kaufmann's third awokening concept before considering how wokeness can be defeated for good. We then shift gears to discuss Prof. Kaufmann's book Whiteshift. He contrasts white nationalism with what he refers to as ethno-traditional nationalism and argues that this recent wave of populism is more about demographics than economics. We also cover several other topics related to immigration and identity before the conclusion of the episode.The Third Awokening: A 12-Point Plan for Rolling Back Progressive Extremism (entitled Taboo: How Making Race Sacred Produced a Cultural Revolution in the UK and rest of the world).Whiteshift: Populism, Immigration and the Future of White Majorities (Penguin (UK) or Abrams (US))Shall the Religious Inherit the Earth (Profile)Eric’s 15-week open online course at the University of Buckingham on Woke: the Origins and Dynamics of an Elite Ideology, which anyone can sign up for at low cost Eric’s new countercultural Centre for Heterodox Social Science at the universityEric’s personal site and Twitter

Los Angeles Ablaze ft. The Prudentialist
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comThe Prudentialist joins me for a wide-ranging discussion on current events. We begin by covering Trump’s sentencing in the hush money trial. Shifting gears, we consider the floated purchase of Greenland. What, if anything, does America stand to gain from such an acquisition? Is it at all within the realm of possibility? We then begin our discussion of the Los Angeles wildfires.In the second half, we ponder the cause of the fires. Is climate change to blame? We argue that is not – but even if it were, that would not excuse the various policy blunders responsible for the wildfires wreaking such havoc.

The Great H-1B Debate ft. Josiah Lippincott
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comJosiah returns to Restoring Order to recap the debate that raged on Twitter last week. We begin by discussing the debate’s origins, the nature of the H-1B program, the broader legal immigration crisis, how the tech right shot itself in the foot, and the prevalence of anti-white resentment among immigrants. In the second half, available to subscribers, we continue our discussion of mass immigration. I ask Josiah why the primary goal for certain immigrant groups seems to be growing their numbers in America. This leads to a discussion of the historic conception of American citizenship. We then discuss the significance of last week's immigration debate, ponder the limitations of a STEM-only mindset, and explore Trump's immigration policy – in his first term, and in the term to come.Follow Josiah on XSubscribe to Josiah’s Substack

Starmer Lowers Immigration ft. Morgoth
This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.comI’m joined by writer and YouTuber Morgoth for a wide-ranging discussion on British politics, migration, and nationalism. We begin by discussing British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s recent immigration crackdown. What precisely is he doing – and why? This leads to a discussion of the British right’s response to this surprising development, and the pros and cons of Nigel Farage’s Reform Party. We also discuss the farmers’ protests. In the second half, available to subscribers, we discuss the insanity of the left’s climate change agenda, which amounts to a wealth transfer from the first world to the third. When then consider which European nations are handling the migration problem the best, and which the worst. Switching gears, we explore the concept of nationalism. Despite having arguably left-wing origins, nationalism, Morgoth argues, is the correct response to the crisis the West currently faces. Morgoth’s Twitter, YouTube, and Substack

We then shift gears to discuss Luigi Mangione. What motivated him to murder the CEO of UnitedHealth? Was this a political act or the product of mental illness? We then explain why Daniel Penny is a hero and Luigi Mangione simply is not – and why one act is inherently right-wing, the other left-wing.John Doyle on YouTube John Doyle on TwitterSupport John here

Did Trump End Liberalism? ft. Nightmare Vision

In the first half, we discuss his thoughts on where things stand in the wake of Trump’s historic victory, Gaetz stepping down from AG, liberal capitulation, and the history the so-called dissident right.In the second half, we consider whether the term dissident right should be discarded. Are there downsides to styling yourself as a dissident? Are we still dissidents, even though Trump won the popular vote and every swing state? We then shift gears to critique Francis Fukuyama’s post-election essay, in which he argues that Trump’s victory “represents a decisive rejection by American voters of liberalism.” We explore Fukuyama’s flawed and self-serving intellectual history, and explain why Trump has far more in common with historic American liberalism than what Fukuyama advocates for.
