Sweeny vs Bard #54
A Clash of Paradigms: The War in Ukraine from a metahistorical perspective
Friday, April 22/2022
The first Sweeny vs Bard without a guest in a while. In this episode, Alexander describes the war in Ukraine as a clash of paradigms rather than civilisations. He says that it’s a fight between David and Goliath and liberal democracy vs Putin’s attempt at Feudalism in the digital age. We talk about Duganism, technology, history, and religion in the face of the war. And so much more.
