The Forge with Harrison Pitt | The End Times? | Victor Davis Hanson
Aug 3, 2024
In this episode, Harrison is joined from across the Atlantic by Victor Davis Hanson, the distinguished American classicist and military historian. Breaking with the established in-person format, they meet virtually to discuss the collapse of Western self-confidence in a multipolar world, how mass immigration erodes the meaning of citizenship, and the fateful last words of all dying civilisations: 'It cannot happen here.' Would a victory for Donald Trump in November amount to an awakening from our complacent slumber? And could a second Trump presidency avert what might otherwise befall us: the end of everything?
*This episode was filmed before the attempted assassination of Donald Trump on 13 July, 2024.*
Produced by The European Conservative, The Forge is a monthly programme which aims to revive the art of Socratic dialogue and intellectual combat at a time when, across the legacy institutions of the Western world, vulgar sophistry and intolerant conformism appear to reign supreme. Presented by Harrison Pitt, a senior editor at The European Conservative, The Forge will be a place for thoroughgoing discussion and fearless debate with the world's finest thinkers on a range of subjects, from philosophy and current affairs to history and culture. As the name suggests, it should also enable us to build up our armoury and sharpen our weapons as we engage in a war for our civilisation.
