Eudaimonia

Eudaimonia, also known as EudaimoniaEsq or "Euda," is a YouTube channel that covers a variety of topics from politics to pop culture from a traditional conservative Catholic perspective. 
==Content==
Eudaimonia mainly does political-themed videos that he narrates over, such as the state of modern liberalism, if the right can truly work hand in hand with the lefthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaNQr-SI-SA, or on pop culture (such as reinterpreting Barbie as a conservative movie). Videos feature vaporwave music and '80s aesthetics alongside the narration. He's also done collaboration videos with Shoe, such as discussing the 2023 GOP Iowa summit and the GOP debate later that year, as well as interviewing conservative, Catholic author Sohrab Ahmari.
Eudaimonia describes his specific conservative ideology as postliberalism. His claim is that liberalism had failed, ironically enough, because it succeeded, and society is worse off for it due to the rise of big businesses, big government, lobbyists, mass polarization and widespread corruption.
A former libertarian, he joined YouTube specifically to fill in a role that he felt was missing from the right-leaning side of the platform.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6THQkhBV2Bk&ab_channel=Eudaimonia He cites that most "conservative" YouTubers are really just right-liberals, and outside of academics there are few that cover topics from a more traditional conservative standpoint. He wanted to take those ideas, and reach a broader audience while also making them entertaining.
Eudaimonia's YouTube videos and Twitter posts have been highlighted and discussed by content creators across the ideological spectrum such as Michael Knowles, Lauren Southern, Sargon of Akkad, ShortFatOtaku, Keffals, Vaush, Xanderhal, President Sunday, and Brittany Venti. He has also appeared on various conservative and religious podcasts, as well as the Sitch & Adam Show. 
==About==
Eudaimonia is arguably most well-known for being Shoe0nHead's boyfriend (now husband), despite the two of them having vastly opposing political views: Eudaimonia being a Catholic conservative who supports Donald Trump, whereas Shoe is a progressive social democrat who supports Bernie Sanders. However, the two of them get along well even despite their opposing views, and in many ways they complement each other for it. On September 13, 2023, Eudaimonia proposed to marry Shoe, and she accepted.https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/1702161336463917069https://twitter.com/EudaimoniaEsq/status/1702165135287083120 They married later that year.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F_guCgHWIAAd964?format=jpg&name=large
Eudaimonia and Michael Knowles have referred to each other as friends, though it is unclear if they know each other outside of Twitter.
Eudaimonia stated that he never belonged to the Left, but once viewed himself as a libertarian. He was an Ayn Rand acolyte, and had socially liberal views, while also supporting Paul Ryan. He was also once an atheist. His views changed to "true" conservatism after studying Homer, Plato, and Aristotle while attending college, and it was during these studies that he became a Catholic.
His views are that true conservatism equates to care for permanence, time and place, honoring what came before and preserving what is good about society for the next generation, acknowledging that there's no such thing as a self-pertaining action, appreciating that there are limits to life that should be acknowledged as part of the human condition, seeking the common good, and recognizing our telos.
He describes himself as being new to the game, having little knowledge of the political YouTube space beforehand, and only joining later due to both having a growing audience on Twitter and a desire to share his true conservative views to the wider world. Eudaimonia believes this fresh perspective might help him in this regard.
==Trivia==
* According to Ancestry, Eudaimonia is primarily of British, German and Scandinavian descent, compared to Shoe0nHead being mainly of Italian and Mediterranean heritage.https://twitter.com/shoe0nhead/status/1724142609096941667
