People are praising the buttoned, collared shirt > t-shirt. The short (under an hour) format is good.
The factoid about Liberia is fascinating. It might be some weird money laundering scheme involving selling Liberian passports to criminals.
I think 2025 bears a lot of similarity to 1924, not just for numerological reasons. In 1924, many intellectuals started to become disillusioned with the far right -- isolationists, racialists, protectionists, nationalists, antisemites, conspiracy theorists. This disillusionment intensified over the next 15 years, until finally you had events like HP Lovecraft supporting FDR; Coughlin was banned from the airwaves; a bipartisan consensus emerged in favor of Britain and against Lindbergh.
Maybe by supporting evil retards like Trump, Yarvin is essentially begging the elites to go full FDR and take back power with an "Empire Strikes Back" vengeance. I don't know if that's what he's saying because I get bored sifting through the stale racial puns, thesaurus checking, and cuckolding humor. I never make it far enough to find out if he's saying anything at all.
This isn't an accusation but a nugget of truth from one of your LOC readers, (left of center) me. I don't think you need to appeal to us as attuned readers, i.e. separate us out as "un-dumb". I know there's a market for it, but you just need need to write and speak. I think conversations are always more insightful than streams of thought. I am not a smart guy, but a concerned one. I came across this from Jay Nordlinger in his first Substack post after leaving the National Review:
<Elizabeth Pochoda, the journalist—a very versatile journalist—has died at 83. To read her obit in the New York Times, go here. I very much like something she said in an interview (with the Chicago Reader in 1993)>:
“I don’t believe in different brows—high, low, middle. I believe if you write about things with the proper excitement, they’re accessible to everybody.”
