For years, Americans have endured unrest, culture wars, radical changes in law enforcement, not to mention a pandemic and unprecedented government interventions. Are these just coincidences — or something else?

Welcome back to our VIP video series “The Amiable Skeptics,” featuring my friend Adam Baldwin! Adam is well-known for his long and storied Hollywood career, starting with My Bodyguard, and especially for his roles in Full Metal Jacket, Firefly, its film sequel Serenity, Chuck, and The Last Ship.
Adam and I discuss James Lindsay’s recent podcast argument, in which he warned, “The current thing is never the thing.” Instead, these attempts at radical change are promoted for their use in driving division in American life. The actual thing, Adam argues, is the Marxist revolution, where I think even that might not be the real thing. It’s perhaps even less mindful — an inchoate rage against Western values that drives nihilism rather than a purposeful revolution. And the flavor of the month for the nihilists is Hamas, which promises a return to pre-Western barbarity.
Be sure to watch it all, and extend the conversation in the comments!
