Ep. 310 - Multipolarity and the West, with Ben Dixon

Counterflow with Buck Johnson

My guest this week is Ben Dixon, author of the "Where the Wasteland Ends" Substack (). We are breaking down the rise of larger world superpowers as the US and the West are having to respect these powers. The West was able to run roughshod through much of the last 50 years. With the rise of Russia, China, India, and Brazil, this is no longer the case. What will the ramifications of this be? What happens with the dollar on the world stage? We discuss these items and more. For more information on the Phillip Ludwell III Orthodox Fellowship, go here: Visit my website: Donate to the show...

Ep. 309: Atheism and the Problem of Knowledge, Part 1, with Adam Patrick

Counterflow with Buck Johnson

My guest this week is host of the Age of Information podcast and friend of the show, Adam Patrick. Adam and I discuss the circular faith that is atheism. Many vocal atheists choose to dunk on low-hanging fruit, and when challenged to present why and how they arrived at their worldview, can't articulate it. Atheism, as well as any worldview, has to rely on faith at some level. Adam breaks down the epistemology of atheism, Orthodox Christianity, and various other worldviews.

Ep. 308: Diary of a Psychosis, with Tom Woods

Counterflow with Buck Johnson

My guest this week is one of the best authors and podcasters in our circles. He is the great Tom Woods. Tom is the author of thirteen books, and his latest one is a devastating death blow to the COVID cultists that have plagued our entire existence since 2020. From the "experts" that we were told to trust, to the media, to even our own friends and family members, at times, SO many people were just plain evil and wrong. What Tom did was keep a daily newsletter that documented many of the lies and inconsistent so-called "science" that we were yelled at to trust. From Tom's famous charts where...

Ep. 307: The New Puritans, the New Witches, with Father Zechariah Lynch

Counterflow with Buck Johnson

Today, Fr. Zechariah Lynch returns to the show to discuss some themes in one of his recent blog posts entitled, "We Found Witches! The Inquisition of Control over Human Freedom" over at his . America was founded by Puritans. That Puritan spirit has remained a guiding spirit of American culture and society even today. In the early years, many Christian Puritans were looking for witches to burn at the stake. This is still happening today. What is different in modern times is, while we have lost the spirit of Christianity, broadly speaking, Puritanism is still there, only now fueled by a secular...

Ep. 306: The Controlled Demolition of Civilization, with Jeff Deist

Counterflow with Buck Johnson

Many of you know Jeff Deist as the former president of the Mises Institute. Jeff and I discuss the things that have led to the destruction of our culture and civilization. Jeff brings an economic perspective to this discussion. The Federal Reserve has incentivized a high time preference society. A society with a high time preference is a tribal society rather than a civil society. Why did the boomer generation allow this? What effects has this had on millennials and home ownership? Has it allowed the spirit of nihilism to flourish? Can it be fixed through political means? We discuss all of...

Ep. 305: Why I'm Not a Libertarian, with C.Jay Engel

Counterflow with Buck Johnson

My guest this week has been in and around conservative and libertarian circles for many years. C.Jay Engel used to identify as a libertarian, and in this episode, he discusses his political journey and transformation. Why would this matter? Well, because it's a similar transformation to not only my own but also many of my listeners. This show is absolutely not an excuse to feel pride about ourselves nor malice toward any folks who still consider themselves libertarian. It is, however, to give an honest and intelligent dialogue on politics, power, democracy, rights, Christianity, economics, and...

Ep. 304: Explaining Great Lent, with Father John Whiteford

Counterflow with Buck Johnson

The time of Great Lent is upon us. There are many misconceptions as well as questions surrounding it. My guest, Father John Whiteford, is Archpriest at St. Jonah Orthodox Church and the author of Sola Scriptura: In Vanity of Their Minds. He is here to field all of my questions regarding Great Lent and provide thorough and accurate answers. Why do we fast? What do we "give up" during Lent? Should we be adding more things rather than just subtracting things during Lent? What is Holy Week? Why is Lent 40 days? We get into all of this and more. Great Lent is the most important time of the year for...

Today, we discuss the themes in his piece "Re-Enchantment And the Call to Adventure".

Ep. 302: Spiritual Warfare, America, and Russia, with Christine Lynn

Counterflow with Buck Johnson

My guest this week runs the site AmericanOrthodoxChristian.com where she writes on spiritual warfare, geopolitics, and other topics, as viewed through an orthodox lens. In this episode, we are discussing how spiritual warfare is manifesting itself through the Russian and Ukrainian conflict, the USA and NATO faction, as well as Israel and Palestine. Christine brings a very well-researched take to all of this, and I think you will enjoy this discussion.

Ep. 301: We No Longer Have a Civilization

Counterflow with Buck Johnson

My guest this week is Jason Mironchuk, the host of the wonderful 2 Bit Podcast. He has been discussing some very intriguing theories on his show recently, and I wanted him to come here and discuss them with me. He postulates that we are no longer living in a civilization. We have returned to the tribal mode that many of us pretend we don't even understand. The spirit of the devouring mother is, in part, what lead us here. This was a function of liberalism, and now we are facing the consequence: the spirit of the vengeful son. What in the heck does all of this mean? What does this look like?...

More Episodes

My guest this week is Daniel McCarthy, acclaimed editor of the esteemed journal, Modern Age. Daniel and I discuss the awful people known as neoconservatives and their journey back to the Democratic Party, where they are now in full support of a presidential candidate who supported the Iraq war, Joe Biden. We do a nice dive into neocons, Trump, populism and libertarianism. Daniel is a truly great thinker, and I know you'll enjoy this.
