Dr. Yoram Hazony is chairman of the Edmund Burke Foundation and author of The Virtue of Nationalism. In this conversation, he explains how liberal imperialism disguised as "tolerance" destroys nations from within, argues that America's founding as a Christian nation offers the only path back from cultural collapse, and warns that China represents the greatest existential threat to Western civilization while young men waste energy fighting imaginary enemies.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Liberal "neutrality" creates a cultural vacuum that gets filled by neo-Marxism and chaos
- Hitler was an imperialist, not a nationalist - nationalism means independent nations coexisting
- Human obligations are inherited, not chosen through consent - loyalty bonds create nations
- America was legally recognized as a Christian nation until 1947's separation doctrine
- China is the only real threat to America while conservatives fight phantom battles
- Orthodox Jews and serious Christians are natural allies against liberal imperialism
