INSOMNIA STREAM： CARNYX EDITION

Stream Summary

This stream uses the metaphor of ancient European war horns (the carnyx) to explore the decline of Western civilization, the failures of political solutions, and the transformation of American society through mass immigration and cultural change. The host analyzes a 1985 documentary on immigration, critiques the language of assimilation, and discusses the role of economic interests, political gatekeepers, and demographic shifts. The stream also features audience questions about history, prepping, and cultural resilience.
