Blood & Soil Nationalism: Making Sense of the Trump Admin | Yaron Brook Show | July 12, 2025original title - Nationalism: Making Sense of the Trump Admin | Yaron Brook ShowIn this urgent and wide-ranging episode, Yaron Brook dissects the dangerous ideological roots of the Trump administration’s growing nationalism—particularly the disturbing resurgence of “blood and soil” thinking. He explains how this brand of collectivism, cloaked in patriotism, undermines the core American principles of individual rights and reason. Yaron walks through the intellectual and historical roots of nationalism, its moral and economic consequences, and why it’s incompatible with capitalism and liberty. He also critiques how Trump balances his nationalist base with his deference to the business community, and why appeasement on immigration and trade will lead to escalating contradictions.
