This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.patrickcasey.com I’m joined by Spergler Acolyte for a wide-ranging discussion on President Trump, America, and Oswald Spengler. In the first half, we begin by hearing Spergler’s origin story. How did he come to be right-wing? Then we discuss Trump’s first week and outline our expectations for the rest of his second term. This leads to a consideration of Trump’s historical significance and a brief review of the history of American citizenship. Shifting gears, Spengler explains why Counterstrike has gone woke. In the second half (available to subscribers), we delve further into Oswald Spengler's work. Was it purely scientific or more of a poetic metaphor? We later discuss Spengler's culture-civilization dichotomy. I ask if decline can be reversed – and if not, what people who find themselves in the late civilization phase should do. Spergler, drawing from Spengler, offers some advice. Follow Spergler on Twitter Subscribe to Spergler’s Substack
