#039 - Benjamin De Rebel - Anglofuturism Might Be The Governing Philosophy Britain Needs
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Benjamin De Rebel is an Anglo-futurist and runs a popular X account.
In this episode Ben and I talk about what Anglofuturism is and why it is becoming popular, what opportunities Anglofuturism offers the Anglosphere for cultural renewal, and how Anglofuturism may give those in the Anglosphere a positive identity and help cure the dislocation caused by multiculturalism, how the social contract has broken down between the elite class and those they govern, and the transformative effect of fatherhood, and much more.
Benjamin is an endearing chap and is certainly trying to put some meat on the bones of a philosophy that currently only really exists in the dark corners of the internet. Yet, has certainly piqued the interest of the social commentators out in the real world. Whether this can turn into something practical and something usable, we don't know - here are rich resources from the history of the Anglosphere for Anglofuturism to draw upon - and besides, it's a lot of fun.
Enjoy the show Classmates. And don't forget to subscribe.
