White Lotus and the Gospel of the Rich Liberal
Manage episode 477477523 series 3651569
In this episode, we dive into HBO’s The White Lotus as more than just prestige TV—it’s a mirror held up to the decadent, self-justifying rituals of elite liberalism. We unpack how wealth and guilt dance together in a new gospel of indulgence, where morality is performative and redemption is bought through ideology. From sun-soaked resorts to the darker undercurrents of privilege, we explore what White Lotus unintentionally reveals about the spiritual emptiness of our cultural elites—and why the gospel of Christ offers a better story.
