As Mark Twain famously said, “History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.” Historians are best placed to hear the rhymes of history in the news of the day.There are few historians who have demonstrated such an aptitude and insight for understanding modern politics and culture as Dr Victor Davis Hanson. Victor is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He has written or edited twenty-five books, the latest of which is ‘The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America'.Follow Australiana on social media here.Subscribe to The Spectator Australia here.

Is democracy and the idea of citizenship deteriorating because of the state of our country's education system? Victor Davis Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. He's written more than 25 books in the realm of classics, military history, and the American political system. His latest book, The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America, explores what it means to be an American. Victor and Greg discuss the modern threats to citizenship, the disappearing middle class, and how America's education system may be exacerbating the problem. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Is the decline of classics and the decline of liberal arts education the same things?32:16: Classics is an intensification of a history or a literature major, but it's the foundation of it. It had a much greater burden because it required or centered on two difficult languages, which you can become an English major or a history major without that as an undergraduate. But they're the same thing. They were the idea that you had a reverence for the past. You didn't go back and try to use the standards of the present to judge people in the past necessarily. You made moral judgments, but that wasn't the intent of history per se. In addition, through the use of literature and historical examples and writing, discussing, and debating, you develop oral fluency. You learn how to write grammatically correct English and stylistically engaging English. You thought. You were inductive. You didn't go into a class where the professor said if you say this particular gender is evil, the subtext is, and then you deduce examples that prove that.On globalism51:21: Globalism is a synonym for American popular culture in many ways. We have the most dynamic culture that has very few prerequisites to participate in, as Europe does. But the more sinister thing is: it's an elite-driven phenomenon.The power of citizenship02:33: Citizenship is very rare in history. It's usually either the person ruled or is either a member of a tribal organization, a mere resident, a subject, a serf, or a slave. But the idea that a citizen is empowered to self-govern and to create the conditions under which government exists by the consent of the governed doesn't exist anywhere outside the Mediterranean or before the 7th century.The shifting dynamics of race, class, and gender17:33: We used to talk about race, class, gender, race, class, gender, but class has disappeared. When you hear that mantra, it's usually race and gender. And this was very brilliant on the part of the left because class is a mobile, fluid concept, and a very successful capitalist society. One generation does not guarantee, necessarily, that they're all going to be in the class of their parents. I can tell you from my own family that's true, both positively and negatively. Races, if you fixate on it, so if you say race is the entire definition of deprivation, bias, racism, and not class, then it's immutable; it's forever.Show Links:Recommended Resources:ThucydidesTacitusDemocracy in America by Alexis de TocquevilleHerodotusBattles of Lexington and ConcordMichel FoucaultWar!

Join America's Roundtable co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy for a conversation with professor Victor Davis Hanson (https://www.hoover.org/profiles/victor-davis-hanson), best-selling author of The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America (https://www.amazon.com/Dying-Citizen-Progressive-Globalization-Destroying/dp/154164753X). Professor Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution; his focus is classics and military history. Hanson received a BA in classics at the University of California, Santa Cruz (1975), was a fellow at the American School of Classical Studies, Athens (1977–78), and received his PhD in classics from Stanford University (1980). The timely conversation brings to the forefront America's vanishing middle class and how government policies are impoverishing millions of citizens. Professor Victor Davis Hanson will provide his perspective on the influx of over 3 million illegal immigrants entering through the US southern border and its impact across the country. Key topics will also cover the significant erosion of the rule of law, and the weakening state of our national security. The Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/2022/06/16/united-states-border-immigration-arrests/) reports on the data compiled on illegal immigrants — "The agency is on pace to exceed 2 million detentions during fiscal 2022, which ends in September, after tallying a record 1.73 million in 2021." In an essay titled "A Quiet Destruction," Professor Hanson wrote (https://americancompass.org/essays/a-quiet-destruction/), "There is a common mentality evident in these pathologies and among those policymakers responsible for them. It is a strange new sense of justified entitlement among our credentialed elites in government and in private enterprise. As self-righteous moralists, they now assume that their deserved affluence, influence, and cultural superiority should exempt them from suffering firsthand the consequences of their own abstract theories and misbegotten policies that fall so heavily and so destructively upon distant and forgotten others." Professor Hanson provides a clarion warning by relaying evidences of the looming peasant state (https://www.deseret.com/2021/11/8/22766032/the-looming-peasant-state-stanford-hoover-institution-housing-crisis-middle-class): "The result is the emergence of a new American peasantry, of millions of Americans who own little or no property. The new majority has scant, if any, savings. Fifty-eight percent of Americans have less than $1,000 in the bank. A missed paycheck renders them destitute, completely unable to service sizable debt. Most of what they buy, from cars to electronic appurtenances, they charge on credit cards." The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America (https://www.amazon.com/Dying-Citizen-Progressive-Globalization-Destroying/dp/154164753X) The New York Times bestselling author explains the decline and fall of the once cherished idea of American citizenship. Human history is full of the stories of peasants, subjects, and tribes. Yet the concept of the “citizen” is historically rare—and was among America's most valued ideals for over two centuries. But without shock treatment, warns historian Victor Davis Hanson, American citizenship as we have known it may soon vanish. In The Dying Citizen, Hanson outlines the historical forces that led to this crisis. The evisceration of the middle class over the last fifty years has made many Americans dependent on the federal government. Open borders have undermined the idea of allegiance to a particular place. Identity politics have eradicated our collective civic sense of self. And a top-heavy administrative state has endangered personal liberty, along with formal efforts to weaken the Constitution. As in the revolutionary years of 1848, 1917, and 1968, 2020 ripped away our complacency about the future. But in the aftermath, we as Americans can rebuild and recover what we have lost. The choice is ours. Articles and Essays by Professor Victor Davis Hanson: The Sovietization of American Life (https://www.independent.org/news/article.asp?id=14198) Behind all our disasters there looms an ideology, a creed that ignores cause and effect in the real world—without a shred of concern for the damage done to those outside the nomenklatura. A Quiet Destruction (https://americancompass.org/essays/a-quiet-destruction/) The problem is not that government is doing too much or too little, but rather that it is utterly failing in those key tasks that must rightfully be its focus. The Mercury News | Hanson: The American people are being forced to imagine the unimaginable (https://www.mercurynews.com/2022/05/13/hanson-the-american-people-imagine-the-unimaginable/) Americans are now entering uncharted, revolutionary territory. They may witness things over the next five months that once would have seemed unimaginable. Until the Ukrainian conflict, we had never witnessed a major land war inside Europe directly involving a nuclear power. In desperation, Russia's impaired and unhinged leader Vladimir Putin now talks trash about the likelihood of nuclear war.

Victor Davis Hanson joins us to talk about his latest book, The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization are Destroying the Idea of America. The book argues that multiple forces are laying siege to the concept and practice of citizenship in our times: evisceration of the middle class; open borders; identity politics; the administrative state; progressive political evolutionaries; and globalists and globalization. While events of the past two years have demonstrated the fragility of citizenship, Dr. Hanson maintains that there is still time to rebuild what we're in danger of losing - and that an essential ingredient in this effort is rediscovering the transcendent.Dr. Hanson is the Martin and Illie Anderson Senior Fellow in Residence in Classics and Military History at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University; a professor of Classics Emeritus at California State University, Fresno; and a nationally syndicated columnist.00:00 - Introduction01:45 - Why 2020/2021 was a wake-up call06:30 - Identity politics and religion9:10 - America: made by, and for, religious people13:30 - Faith as the mortar for our civic identity bricks16:20 - Ambivalence toward country, when country neglects faith 21:20 - Restoring transcendence, restoring citizenship26:05 - ConclusionIf you enjoyed this episode, please consider supporting Crown and Crozier with a tax-deductible donation here: DONATE Documents/Websites referenced Dr. Victor Davis Hanson (biography)@VDHansonVictor Davis Hanson, The Dying Citizen (2021)John Adams, “Letter to Massachusetts Militia” (October 11, 1798) [source of quotation: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people”]Please note that this podcast has been edited for length and clarity.Support the show (http://missionoftheredeemer.com/crownandcrozier/)
Highlights: “The left is bringing to us this notion that national citizenship really means nothing in the end; we are now global citizens, as any mission or vision statement of any public school attests to, we are all now global citizens, and global citizens have no borders. So whether you've crossed the border legally or not, whether you are a citizen or not, these things are increasingly irrelevant in the eyes of our permanent political class and our transnational corporate elite. However, in the Russian Federation, the exact opposite is happening”“According to Russian lawmaker Alexander Khinshtein, who is a conservative, a nationalist, if you're a natural-born Russian but grow up to hate your country and your culture to become a member of what he calls here the opposition, which is generally the term used for leftist liberals, then you should be stripped of your citizenship. Why maintain the citizenship of a nation and culture that you so obviously hate and despise?”“As far as Russia is concerned, western liberalism is effectively dead. It has no future.”Timestamps: [02:19] On the crisis of citizenship in our nation[03:31] How one Russian lawmaker wants to strip woke liberals of their citizenship[06:51] What this lawmaker's call to strip woke liberals of their citizenship reveals[08:51] How President Putin is fully on board with eliminating wokeness from their nationResources: SIGN UP NOW for our Jan 14th and 15th PATRIOT LIVE VIRTUAL EVENT and get 85 PERCENT OFF Registration!

Top 5 of 2021 Day 2: During this Christmas season, we're sharing some of our favorite interviews of the year to allow our team to take time off for the holidays.What does it mean to be an American citizen today?Victor Davis Hanson, a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution and a professor emeritus at California State University, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to talk about citizenship and other topics covered in his new book “The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America.”A bestselling author and one of The Daily Signal's most popular columnists, Hanson's latest book serves as a wake-up call for citizens to take their responsibility seriously.“I think we have to just take a deep breath and say, ‘We have to reassert citizenship,'” Hanson says. “We're starting to see it with local school boards, where somebody, somehow, thought that either school bureaucrats or locally elected people are not responsible for the will of the voters who either elected them or they were hired by elected officials through that vote. And yet parents are starting to object and hold them accountable.”Hanson also reflects on historical comparisons to the tumultuous year 2020.

The concept of the “citizen” is found rarely throughout human history, and those lucky enough to have it must guard it jealously. It is one of the most cherished ideals of our liberal, democratic societies. But the forces of globalization and progressivism, and the elites who benefit from them, are working to erode it. Victor Davis Hanson is a prominent American intellectual, a scholar of ancient Greece and military history, and a prolific commentator on contemporary U.S. politics. He joins Anthony to discuss his new book, The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America. (Recorded October 21, 2021.)

On Tuesday's Mark Levin Show, Attorney General Merrick Garland has no authority to label parents that protest as domestic terrorists and use the FBI to silence them. The letter from the National School Boards Association smacks of an inside job to help the Federal government further nationalize its reach into local communities. The Biden administration wants to strike fear in the hearts of parents and community members who dare assemble to question their government. If they succeed, the public will have ceded our children, our future, and our liberty to the Marxist left. Then, Manhattan Institute Senior fellow Chris Rufo calls in and explains that this is simply an outrageous attempt to politicize the DOJ even further and prosecute parents for protesting under the Patriot Act. This is a suppression tactic to infringe upon one's Constitutional right to free speech and assembly similar to how the Obama administration used the IRS to stifle conservatives in the Tea Party movement in 2010. Later, Victor Davis Hanson, author of "The Dying Citizen: How Progressive Elites, Tribalism, and Globalization Are Destroying the Idea of America" joins the show to explain the fragility of citizenship. The destruction of the middle class, border security, the administrative state, and academia are contributing to the demise of American citizenship.
