Nexus X HumectressFrom 2019. Apparently, this Sohrab Ahmari who is one of the intellectual leaders of this “national conservatism” thing is a full-blown Pahlavist as I suspected. By Sohrab Ahmari New York Post The measure of a successful Iranian dynasty has always been simple: For 2½ millennia, Iranians have judged […]
By Andrew Sullivan, The Weekly Dish He’s written a history of the nuns and priests who defied the Catholic leadership to help gay victims of the AIDS crisis. Many of you will recall the horrendous way in which the Catholic Church hierarchy responded to the AIDS crisis. Many […]
By Andrew Sullivan, Weekly Dish I’ll try not to take David Frum’s new piece on the Russia-Trump connection too personally, especially now that I’ve spent the week off-Twitter, chilling in the English countryside where I grew up, and generally unwinding with my family. And this isn’t a full-on […]

By Brigid Kennedy, The Week White House chief medical adviser Dr. Anthony Fauci said the U.S. will speak with South African scientists on Friday to “get the facts” on an emergent COVID-19 variant that’s prompting a fresh wave of travel restrictions, CNBC reports. “This is really something that’s in […]

This is an interesting conversation.
During the Trump administration, it seemed every Thanksgiving was an occasion for media outlets to run fretful stories by progressives about what to do when a “racist uncle“ at the holiday dinner table vocally supported the 45th president. When those essays ended on a militant note, either advocating refusal […]
By Shawn Boburg, Sarah Cahlan, Joyce Sohyun Lee, Atthar Mirza, and Elyse Samuels At least seven of the 10 dead after the Astroworld Festival were clustered in a small area enclosed on three sides by metal barriers that became dangerously crowded, according to a Washington Post investigation. […]
By Tom Woods First it was statues of people like John C. Calhoun. That worked, since Americans have been told that Calhoun, one of the only political thinkers the United States ever produced who’s actually worth reading, was uniquely wicked and racist, etc. Some warned that eventually the […]

By Alice Speri, The Intercept In a civil lawsuit, the court found that the paramilitaries operated in a “symbiotic relationship” with U.S.-funded Colombian forces.

BY Malcom Kyeyune Unherd Historically speaking, empires on average last for around 250 years, after which they tend to either slowly — or very, very quickly — fall apart due to overreach and internal conflict. Somewhat ominously, the 250th birthday of America is coming up in 2026. Yet […]
This is the program of the recent “national conservatism” conference. Notice how Peter Thiel seems to be running the show, and the participants are the usual collection of dupes you find in movements funded by neocons and right-wing capitalist oligarchs. There is very little difference between this and […]

This is rather extraordinary. The neocons are attempting to co-opt anti-imperialism by bending it toward American unilateralism, and weaponizing anti-imperialism in a rhetorical battle against China. Any tendency that embraces Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, and Josh Hawley is nowhere near being “anti-imperialist.” This is the neocon playbook being […]
