“Toby Buckle’s ‘It Wasn’t Fascism All Along’ is exactly the kind of argument worth engaging directly. It is a serious argument that seeks to address a real epistemic problem, which is the impulse to flatten all right-of-center politics into a single undifferentiated mass. There are real differences between the different brands of conservatism in practice, and it matters—not least because we must understand our opponent, so that we may successfully confront and defeat our opponent. And ultimately, we both agree that at this current moment, there is nothing to redeem or to save in the conservative project—fascism has won the argument within the right decisively.” (04/06/26)
