Alexander Brown, managing editor of Without Diminishment, joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss Western civilization, cultural confidence, the “new right,” and the growing pushback against the decolonization movement.
In this episode, LeDrew and Brown talk about why so many people are afraid to defend Western civilization, why common sense is often labelled “right-wing,” and how new networks of thinkers and organizers are trying to rebuild confidence in the West.
Brown also discusses a recent conference in London that he describes as a kind of “counter-Davos” — a gathering focused not on taking from society, but on giving back, strengthening culture, and defending the good, the true, and the beautiful.
This is a conversation about civilization, culture, history, politics, and why the West needs to stop apologizing for itself.
