On this episode of “The TBR History Hour,” host José Niño sits down with Greg Conte of NS World for a rigorous discussion of interwar propaganda, political leadership, and the so-called ‘One Enemy Principle’ described in Mein Kampf.
Conte offers a close reading of the text as a historical source, examining how simplified narratives, message discipline, and media ecosystems can mobilize—or mislead—mass publics.
The conversation probes the ethics of engaging controversial works, the tension between ‘infiltrating’ institutions and building parallel ones, and the role that ‘idealism’ and sacrifice play in leadership.
Listeners will find a sober exploration of how propaganda operates and what cautionary lessons the modern West might draw from the interwar era.
