Counterflow with Buck Johnson Buck Johnson

Today, Orthodox Christian and journalist Jon Gabriel is with us. With the recent disaster of the new Libertarian Party presidential candidate causing many to leave the party, Jon and I discuss the philosophy of libertarianism and relate it to not only societal reality but the Orthodox Christian worldview. What good does it offer? Are parts of it irreconcilable with Christianity? Jon and I are both ex-libertarians and now Orthodox Christians. We discuss our journeys and where we see libertarianism and politics broadly now as Orthodox Christians.

This week, we are once again joined by The Prudentialist here on Counterflow. He is an Orthodox Christian, writer, YouTuber, and fisherman. We are talking about something that he has coined, "the great divorce from history". From our guest: A divorce from history, a consequence of the orgiastic high that has come from Liberalism's alleged victories from the Cold War and the Second World War has left many smugly championing the cultural and economic victories while quietly ignoring the visceral transformations of their homes. To say that the past was evil, or that each step leftward was a step towards some concept of fully automated luxury gay space communism, then we are witnessing the continued suicide of the West in real time, just as Burnham remarked sixty years ago. We get into how this has happened and where we might be headed.

This is Part 2 of my conversation with Clark Carlton using his book "The Faith" as a guide for our discussion on the many nuances and aspects of the Orthodox Christian Faith. There are a ton of misconceptions and misunderstandings about Christianity in general but even more so with Orthodox Christianity. I want these two episodes to be almost like a catechetical guide into Orthodoxy. We get into apostolic succession, spiritual depth, repentance, pride, humility, Catholicism, Protestantism, and so much more.

Auron MacIntyre is back with us this week to discuss the beautiful losers we call conservatives. The left cares about power and control, but the right has tried to put principle and ideology ahead of actually gaining and using power. This has put conservatives on the losing side of politics for more than a century. Now, leftism is the default setting for society, all of the country's institutions, corporations, and power structures. It's time for conservatives to stop letting their ideology get in the way of gaining power and defeating the left. Auron lays it all out in this excellent discussion.   For more from Auron, go here:   To order his NEW book, go here: Visit my website: Donate to the show here:  Audio Production by Podsworth Media: Leave us a review and rating on iTunes!
