Nick Fuentes and the Hollow Soul of America: Is there an America After the Idols?
Trump seems to be losing control over the MAGA movement he created. His surrogates remain confused, comparing Zoran Mamdani’s success mobilizing young New Yorkers to the rise of the Hitler Youth. Meanwhile Zoomers on the right are openly embracing white supremacism. Last night, I finally watched Tucker Carlson’s long interview with Nick Fuentes. I hesitate to even mention the guy, but the frog is clearly already out of the bag.

“Few books in political theory foreground the author’s biography this much. But it lands.”

My LARB review of Furious Minds by Laura Field. A terrific book. @princetonupress.bsky.social:

It is my great honor to share with you all the inspiration behind Sean J. McGrath's new book, titled: The Lost Road: A Search for the Soul in the West. Dr. McGrath's substack post goes deep into his own personal journey as a philosopher. Check it out!

Are human beings evolutionarily wired for faith and worship?

This fascinating essay, by the writer Tim DeRoche, suggests that we are.

Pleased to announce I just signed a contract with @uofmpress.bsky.social to complete a new book "Liberal Socialism: A Defense." With an introduction by the great Alexandre Lefebvre.

The book will round out an (unplanned) trilogy by providing a Rawlsian/Marxist argument for liberal socialism.

Id put this a different way. The postliberals contributed to Fuentes et al in being more willing to cynically acknowledge and exploit the rot in (neo) liberal democracy, seeing politics as an elite driven enterprise where the goal is to gain power and manipulate the masses...
