On this Political Pulse episode, I sit down with Mark Milke from the Aristotle Foundation for Public Policy. He explains the topics in his thought-provoking book "The Victim Cult” and goes over the dangers of allowing grievance to become identity.
Our conversation delves into how the Aristotle Foundation champions reason, democracy, and civilization at a time when empirical thinking is under attack. We examine complex topics including Indigenous issues in Canada, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and how modern media and the internet have accelerated grievance culture.
Mark shares compelling insights on how certain groups throughout history have either gotten trapped in victimhood narratives or successfully moved beyond them. From the contrasting approaches of Palestinian leadership versus the Good Friday Accords in Northern Ireland, to the resilience of East Asian immigrants in North America, we dive into many thought-provoking topics.
