Read about the new scholarship on Spain, then contemplate the fact that Franco was venerated in the National Review from the start, and you hav a skeleton key, opening up the fact that "modern American conservatism" never maintained a meaningful distance from fascism. www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

As Francisco Franco’s reputation grows on the far right, a new history of his regime reminds us of its unrelenting violence toward Jews.

an easy way to understand this is that people make clothes cool and not the other way around. so our judgement of what looks "good" is often shaped by the cultural capital of various social groups. punks, skaters, hip hop heads, etc look stylish simply bc they are cool. thus money is not a barrier.

prof kreis makes the case without any help and all i’ll add is that in scholars like wurman and barnett the postmodernization of the law has reached its apogee. anything can be argued. theres only selection of narrative. there’s no real truth, not even legal truth etc.
This thread went off the rails. I'm genuinely perplexed. My point: some profs act like they’ve been assigned a side and must argue it like a competition. Remember, this entire charade started because of a *𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦* that “an entire literature” existed questioning birthright citizenship.
The anti-birthright citizenship element in the legal academy has all the hallmarks of a high school debate club and none of actual scholarship.

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

debasement of elites
The Bari Weiss hysteria continues. Exactly what in "this piece isn't ready" and "try harder to get comment from the administration" constitutes the death of American journalism? www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.
!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social:

(It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

I’m actually starting to think that the WH didn’t even call, Bari and co. just decided to kill the story as soon as they found out about it
"effectively unprecedented"

Bari Weiss is the logical endpoint of corporate media. This is what happens when people who hate journalism are in charge of it. The only way journalism works is when it’s independent from the power it’s supposed to hold to account, which means ownership can’t have anything to do with those in power
