About this episode

The episode discusses the criticisms of Western civilization and its contributions to the world, exploring why certain nations are singled out for hatred.

Why are Israel and America singled out for hatred and not Sweden, France, and Germany? Why Reform Judaism is more socially acceptable. Any thug, either urban or international, is advantaged by willingness to use violence. In a robust civilized landscape, thugs lose their advantage — naturally, they hate civilization.
