there’s a sense that today’s right was yesterday’s center/left and everything shifted left. but it’s also true that today’s right is yesterday’s left that finally realized what liberalism broke, what conservatism was trying to conserve and why.

it’s a delicate balance that has to be deliberately danced for sustainable progress to even be achieved, and instead we’ve cultivated ideological zealots on both sides of the aisle that swear the other side must be exterminated thank you to social media and its tremendously efficient effects of polarization

yeah both are true. a good example is Sohrab Ahmari and the new friendly relationship with union labor.

Kind of wish this were more the case. The American new right can’t seem to shake the Ayn Rand/neo-seasteading/accelerationist/libertarian hangover thing which compromises any critique of liberalism with a weird double down on individualism. The interesting George Grant/Wendell Berry/Patrick Deneen style conservative voices already seem marginal again. Or is it just my filter bubble…?

I don’t think that’s really accurate though, even if you don’t see too many racists who whine about Irish and Polish people anymore. We still have a lot of the same issues as fifty years ago and many people are more focused on optics than actually putting out fires.
