Great discussion - explains a lot!

I've started following you, Matthew, not too long ago, and I am totally fascinated by the amount of your & your wife's research you both produce. It really provides and clarifies a lot of dot-connections, answering to many questions on what is happening around the globe these days, even though, it is NOT an easy task to grasp it all. :) THANK YOU!

Despite an unfair treatment of Nietzsche (like Machiavelli, his ideas get misinterpreted to excuse evil ends), and ignoring China's draconian lockdown policy, punishment of dissidents, surveillance state, and abuse of citizenry up to and including using them as organ farms for the elite (which is in direct conflict with Confucian and Taoist principles, and indicates a similar struggle to the West's is taking place in China), this is otherwise excellent analysis.

However, those seeking remedy for the West need to recognize the truth of revolution, in that it always comes from one elite faction breaking ranks from another, and ultimately prevailing in the ensuing power struggle. This has been well documented in Neema Parvini's (Academic Agent) The Populist Delusion https://www.imperiumpress.org/?attachment_id=119 . The book and it's contents have been discussed in several podcasts here (Parvini makes a few appearances) https://freemanbeyondthewall.libsyn.com/size/5/?search=populist+delusion

Parvini has an excellent Substack as well https://forbiddentexts.substack.com/ and has a podcast on Youtube.
