The Toal State is Everywhere (Auron MacIntyre)
In this episode of the Plain Speech Podcast, Michael Clary interviews Auron MacIntyre, author of 'Total State,’ political commentator on YouTube and at the Blaze. They discuss the current political climate, the influence of progressive secular humanism in society, and the importance of conservative Christians understanding and engaging with societal changes. The conversation also covers MacIntyre's book, “Total State,” which is a big Red Pill about the way politics works in modern America. They explore the concept of the cathedral, a decentralized network controlling cultural consensus, and the spiritual aspects behind political ideologies. Additionally, the episode touches on localism as a response to federal overreach and the spiritual forces believed to be at play in shaping societal norms and beliefs.
