Kontrarian Korner #88 - Moritz Bierling

Yesterday I had Moritz Bierling on the podcast for the first time. We talked about the competing elite factions, how the conflict between the US and the British Empire has evolved, and where the world will go from here. He also got into the importance of having a positive vision for the system that should be built, and several other civilizational and cultural topics that are top of mind for anyone paying attention to the rapid changes that have been happening since 2020. It was a great conversation for anyone interested in the high level view for where the West is headed over the next couple decades. You can find Moritz on his website, Modern Minuteman, and on Twitter.
