| 0:00.0 | Hey everyone, it's James Lindsay, you were listening to The New Discourses podcast. |
| 0:24.0 | And I don't know if you guys know, but there is going to be a dangerous current of post-liberalism |
| 0:28.2 | happening throughout the West. |
| 0:29.3 | Now, I'm pretty sure you're aware of the woke aspect of this, but there's a post-liberal right as well. |
| 0:36.2 | And this is kind of centered in this sort of, I mean, you've heard it a little bit in this |
| 0:42.1 | Nash, this, what do I call it, Christian nationalism. I don't call it that. They call it that. |
