EP126: Girard's Scapegoat on Good Friday 2025 - Gracearchy with Jim Babka

Good Friday question: Are you making the social conditions worse or better? Are you willing to sacrifice others on the altar of your politics or religion? We can move in a libertarian direction in direct proportion to how much we move away from the blame-game, and how much we turn towards our neighbors. Here, we use Rene Girard's Scapegoat Theory to show to illuminate a path.
