From Nigeria to Milei: The World Is Breaking—and No One Wants to Admit Why

The world is unraveling—and the media, the left, and the right are all lying about why.In this wide-ranging live global analysis, Yaron Brook takes on Nigeria, Qatar, antisemitism, Ukraine, Japan, Argentina’s Javier Milei—and the deeper philosophical forces driving global collapse. From tribalism and media corruption to Kant, Hegel, capitalism, and the future of freedom, nothing is off-limits.This is not punditry. It’s root-cause analysis—moral, philosophical, and political—grounded in reason and unapologetic clarity.

🔥 Topics include:

• Why failed states keep failing (Nigeria, Somaliland)
• Qatar’s real role in global corruption
• The new antisemitism—from the left and the right
• Media rot at the New York Times
• Babies, birth rates, and civilizational decline
• Ukraine, Japan, Europe—and what the future actually holds
• Javier Milei: reformer or missed opportunity?
• Why Objectivism isn’t “saving the world” (yet)

💬 Plus: hard-hitting live audience questions on Kant, Hegel, capitalism, inequality, Trump, Musk, homelessness, and the psychology of hatred.

📌 If you’re tired of surface-level takes and want to understand why the world looks the way it does, this episode is for you.
