The Atlantic and the Times let David French work for them because they understand that he is a subversive actor. He wears the camouflage of a conservative, but he works for the other side. Of course they want him to write for them.

UVA's Vice President for DEI, Kevin McDonald, was paid $375,000 in 2023. There were 12 other staff in his office alone. Yet McDonald continues to work at UVA, with the same title. All but one of his staff are still at UVA too - in most cases, they even retain the same DEI titles.

"Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship." --O'Brien, in George Orwell's 1984

Lasch on the collapse of religion in his introduction to Chasseguet-Smirgel's "The Ego Ideal." Wisdom here.

Grok owning Will Stancil. We’re all going to be out of jobs soon.

The performative vulnerable narcissistic psychopathology & self-loathing is remarkable. The psychic emptiness of Mamdani is what makes him so dangerous.

🎯It's a shame we have to entertain discourse on the fundamentally flawed term "W*ke R$ght" because it is doing nothing but allowing the real problem of Woke Leftism & unbridled liberalism to regenerate & mutate.

It's performative psychopathology. Steel an identity to fill the void of their own empty psyche with fake moralizing to a mindless base.

The politics of the contemporary Progressive Left in psychoanalytic terms. This is what the performative street theater of Mandami & AOC is intended to incubate. "His megalomania finds its expression in this, each person's ego being extended to the whole group."

Progressive Leftism appeals to a base of mindless theater kid slop. No wonder it makes them mentally unwell.

The utterly ridiculous whole body tattoo sleeve slop in the present-day gym milieu is an abomination. The young generation is lost, looking to slap any spaghetti art on their body for self-meaning. It's all so grotesque & fake.

5'6" bros at Temple overcompensating by walking around like playboiis is as cringe as Mandami & AOC street theater. Just embarrassing & humiliating. Do these people know this? How normal people see them? Lulz.

Was recently reading about Frederick II who, while intellectually minded, had great contempt for the university system that was dominated by the Church at the time of his rule and so had to create his own university system to solve the problem of cultivating intelligent and

This is a good observation & illustrates why the public intellectuals need to cultivate highly skilled & intellectualy sophisticated associates who work with them to provide needed information & time for them to develop their insights amidst the daily churn of public slop.

I listened with rapt attention to this entire conversation. Dr Jordan B Peterson could not possibly know the entirety of French's ideological beliefs nor their current form. They got around to Russia-Ukraine at the end. But yes, French's "virtuous masculinity" is blinkered idealism.

Somehow it's hard for me to believe that the Epstein list--if such a list does indeed exist--has not been leaked. It strikes me as implausible in an age when SCOTUS decisions get leaked.

Centrist liberals want to sanitize masculinity. David French's "virtuous masculinity." This is idealistic slop. Trying to sanitize masculinity is a fools errand. You get the good with the bad & the bad is part of the good. The key is socialization, not elimination, of the bad.

The Left are only going to become more frenetic, petulant, passive-aggressive, tyrannical, & frankly antisocial as they lose both political power & the ability to set the narrative. We are witnessing this unfold more rapidly now with the reaction to ICE enforcement.
