The Rise of Welfare and Decline of Religion Dooms Empires | Guest: News Fist | 7/27/26

YouTube commentator News Fist joins me as we continue our reading of historian John Glubb's famous essay "The Fate of Empires and Search for Survival."  In this episode, we explore the central nature that religion plays in the rise of empires and how its decline coincides with a rise in selfishness. We'll also analyze the roll that welfare plays in decadence, which always spells doom for an empire.    Find more New Fist here: https://www.youtube.com/@UCZST1WEN9gMY_x3zDWKOnIA Follow on: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-auron-macintyre-show/id1657770114 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3S6z4LBs8Fi7COupy7YYuM?si=4d9662cb34d148af Substack: https://auronmacintyre.substack.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/AuronMacintyre Gab: https://gab.com/AuronMacIntyre YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/c/AuronMacIntyre Rumble: https://rumble.com/c/c-390155 Odysee: https://odysee.com/@AuronMacIntyre:f Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/auronmacintyre/ Learn more about your ad choices.
