"Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity" with Raw Egg Nationalist
In this episode, we speak with Raw Egg Nationalist about the premise of his upcoming book "Liberalism and the Death of Masculinity." He discusses how liberal democracy fails to satisfy men's innate desire for distinction and greatness (megalothymia).
Raw Egg argues that liberalism combined with environmental pollution and unhealthy lifestyles has created a "perfect storm" causing plummeting testosterone levels and the decline of traditional masculinity. He explains how chemicals like BPA mimic estrogen and are implicated in testosterone decline.
We cover simple steps men and women can take to improve hormonal health, including avoiding plastics, personal care products with chemicals, and adopting diets and lifestyles that mitigate pollution. Raw Egg argues testosterone decline will have biological and social impacts, and that preserving masculinity is about more than just aggression.
Overall an urgent wake-up call about the threats modern society poses to masculinity on multiple fronts.
Raw Egg Nationalist: [00:00:00] There's a new study that shows that or that suggests that women who take the combined hormonal contraceptive pill, they actually suffer shrinkage in particular regions of their brain. Yeah, it's, it's quite a shocking study that's just come out.
Yeah, wow. Question,
Simone Collins: of those who had taken, women who had taken hormonal contraceptives and then stopped, did they show signs of
Raw Egg Nationalist: recovery?
Yes, they did. So there was no difference in there. So, so it looks like it might be reversible. But then there are other studies. There are other studies. There was a study of hormonal contraceptive use and its relationship to depression recently. And it showed that If you started taking hormonal contraceptive as a teenager, you would, and then went to, and then, and then stopped taking it, you would always have a massively increased risk of depression as a girl.
Whereas if you, if you're a, an adult woman and you go on it, and then you come off, your [00:01:00] rate of depression falls back to the norm. So that suggests that there is clearly some developmental function or developmental process that is affected in some way by taking a hormonal contraceptive as a teenager rather than as an adult.

Simone Collins: Hi everyone. Welcome back to base camp and a very special episode of it at that because we are joined by raw egg nationalists who I'm so excited to meet.
We're meeting him because he's also speaking at the natalism conference that we're going to go to in Austin this December. But we'd been very familiar with his work before. So yay, we haven't used to talk with him. If you don't know rag nationalist he is an anonymous. Twitter user with some really fun content.
It's, it's, his Twitter username is actually baby gravy nine, but he goes under raw egg nationalist. You won't miss him. Plus he's written four books. All part of the raw egg nationalist present presents series on Amazon, but the most famous one is probably raw [00:02:00] egg nationalism. In theory and practice.
Don't you think so? But the
Malcolm Collins: next book is going to be different and that's what we're going to be talking about today. So tell us a little bit about this upcoming book and what it's on.
Raw Egg Nationalist: Well, it's a pleasure to be speaking with you both. This is, I've been really been looking forward to this. So, I wrote a book.
My last book was called the Eggs Benedict Option, and that was my most detailed work to date about Health and nutrition. I talked about basically about the global plan for a, or the plan for a global plant based diet and, and the health and political ramifications of that. So, I'm kind of, I'm following on from that and I'm, I'm writing in the same v
