When the sovereign cedes its de facto authority when it fails to uphold its de jure responsibilities, rivals step in to fill the void. Historically, this took form in collapsing empires, rival nations, and feuding warlords. Today, we are seeing more decentralized power systems such as multinational corporations and financial networks develop as the central governments of the world fail to keep up with the needs of the common man. Tonight we are joined by Mike Maxwell of Imperium Press to discuss his latest book, ‘Tribal Future of the West’, and how in our near future we’re likely to see a further Balkanization of politics across racial, cultural, and technological lines. -- Brought to you by -- Very special guest Mike from Imperium Press - Substack - https://imperiumpress.substack.com/ - Podcast - https://hearthfireradio.com/ - Telegram - @ImperiumPress - Twitter - @imperiumpress1 - imperiumpress.org Tribal Future of the West, Maxwell (2025) - https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/tribal-future-of-the-west/ with Adam Smith and Nick Mason -- New: Hard Copies of Exit Strategy now Available! http://www.lulu.com/shop/adam-smith/exit-strategy/paperback/product-24191334.html - http://myth20c.com ~~-- Donations --~~ Ethereum: 0x4d3617C1C5b466E2BE1aD1F7D85C03DBBa6F6bb7 BTC: 16UQ6ukmTjz4Z7Ce4n23bN6tKGnU7XkPeQ - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/books/ - http://theamericansun.com - http://twitter.com/myth20c - myth20c@tutanota.com - http://gab.ai/myth20c -- References -- - Bowling Alone, Putnam (2000) - Breeding the Human Herd, Dutton (2023) - https://www.imperiumpress.org/shop/breeding-the-human-herd/ - The Cultured Thug Handbook, Maxwell (2024) - https://myth20c.wordpress.com/2024/…","meta_description":"Nature abhors a vacuum - as the saying goes - but in civilization, people abhor ineffective leadership.
