A SPECTACULAR PRESENTATION ON WESTERN LIBERALISM'S CRISIS (as seen by "Putin's Brain," Alexander Dugin.
I've been obsessed attempting to figure out WTF is happening in America since Trump won the presidency in 2016. I've "met" the most outlandish characters from Julius Evola to to Carl Schmitt to Moldbug Mencius, etc. Came across Dugin early on. Having searched high and low, I think this video is "one stop shopping" for Dugin. I'd go farther and say that you can get a good part of the way understanding the MAGA movement - from batshit crazy General Flynn to Steve Bannon to your insufferable uncle at Thanksgiving dinner, by re-listening to the video and substituting "MAGA" for Russia. How Dugin feels about the West (and the many specific targets of Dugin's criticism) is how our (non-crazy, at least) family, neighbors, friends, and co-workers who voted MAGA consider those of us of a liberal or progressive persuasion. Like the presenter, one need not accept Dugin's answers but we ignore his criticisms at our personal, national, and worldwide peril.
