Jonah Goldberg on the West’s ‘suicide mission’

March 12, 2019

IS THE West on a suicide mission? Jonah Goldberg thinks so as he sets out in his new book, Suicide of the West: How the Rebirth of Tribalism, Populism, Nationalism, and Identity Politics Is Destroying American Democracy and discusses it with Ben Shapiro in this interview.

Goldberg explores the distinctions between the Scottish and French Enlightenments, the role of religion and custom, and the problem with Nationalism.

The former Never Trumper also explains why he still would not vote for Trump if the election were this year.

Goldberg is the author of the brilliant Liberal Fascism and this is a good watch.
