Ep 65: Why Europe is Great and the Curse of Empires
Update: 2025-05-14
Description
From Swedish absolutism to Russian empire, we unravel the chaotic laboratory of European innovation. The Great Northern War, Charles XII’s warrior-king swagger, and Peter the Great’s beard-shaving reforms reveal how small states punched above their weight through cutthroat rivalry. Europe’s soul isn’t in empires or museums—it’s in the messy, hyper-competitive patchwork of nations, where cancellation sparks reinvention. Forget globalist McDonald’s dreams; it’s time to embrace the Balkanized, history-soaked vitality that makes Europe the crucible of civilization.
