The battlefield has changed. Civil wars are no longer fought primarily with guns and artillery but through political polarization, media manipulation, and the erosion of shared national identity. Our discussion explores this frightening evolution and what it means for Western democracies teetering on the edge.
Since October 7th, 2023, we've witnessed a troubling rise in extremism and what author Douglas Murray describes as "death cults" - ideologies celebrating destruction rather than creation, particularly on university campuses where professors and administrators have enabled rather than challenged dangerous rhetoric.
The media landscape bears significant responsibility for our current predicament. When news organizations abandon factual reporting in favor of narrative-driven coverage, they become weapons in this bloodless civil war. We examine specific examples of selective reporting that distorts public understanding and intensifies societal divisions, while questioning why certain hate-driven movements receive protection rather than scrutiny.
