The West, the Best, and the Rest

Richard Spencer engages in a detailed discussion with guest Drew Pavlov about his journey in activism, which began with protests against the Chinese government while at university in Australia. Pavlo shares his experiences with physical assaults and cyber harassment that led to a broader public profile. The conversation expands to wider political topics, including contrasting views on Israel, Palestine, and Ukraine, highlighting diverging political ideologies and affiliations. Drew also discusses his stance on Australia's relationship with China, the role of global allies, the influence of third-world movements, and his nuanced position on nationalism and decolonial rhetoric. As they project future geopolitical dynamics, they touch on Trump's policies, isolationism, and the glaring contradictions in modern American politics.
