In this episode, I explore how cultural relativism—once a hallmark of liberal thought—has been increasingly used to justify conservative ideologies. From Russia’s stance on traditional values to China’s rejection of Western-style democracy, the idea that “every culture is different” is now often used to resist change and silence criticism.
