“Conservatives like Patrick Deneen want a return to virtue. If a return to virtue was going to work it would have already worked by now. … Classic economic liberals want a return to liberalism. It’s not at all clear (to me at least) how we get from our current state of genocidal monopoly capitalism back to an era of yeoman craftspeople and it’s not at all clear how, even if we could get there, we wouldn’t just end up with monopoly capitalism all over again. The modern left is so completely addled by too many vaccines that they just want the regulatory state to genocide harder. Said differently, the modern left fully embraces fascism and is not even proposing alternatives. So that’s where we’re at. Conservatism, classical liberalism, and progressivism lie in smoldering ruins.” (09/04/24)
