24: The Art of the Insult

Emperor Constantine and the Roots of State Religion

The hosts respond to a historical argument identifying Emperor Constantine as the first Christian nationalist for making Christianity the official state religion. They reject the comparison between Constantine and modern political figures like Donald Trump. The discussion shifts to a critique of multicultural democracy and the belief in the intrinsic goodness of the human condition, which they label as a form of Marxism.
