    She’s So High, High Above Me:
    Watching The Fountainhead on TCM

    2,176 words

    You know I always wanted to pretend that I was an architect.
    –George Costanza[1]

    The Fountainhead is something of a rite of passage or gateway drug on the Right. Back in the 1960s/’70s it was more likely the movie than the book that one stumbled upon. I suppose I must have seen it on some afternoon movie show back in the ‘60s. Was it the Bill Kennedy at the Movies show on CKLW out of Windsor, Ontario on Saturday afternoons? (more…)

    Jonah Goldberg
    Suicide of the West: How the Rebirth of Tribalism, Populism, Nationalism, and Identity Politics is Destroying American Democracy
    New York: Crown Forum, 2018

    Anyone expecting Jonah Goldberg’s Suicide of the West to be a new meditation on James Burnham’s 1964 classic[1] about the moral degeneracy of liberal democracy is in for a laugh. Having borrowed Burnham’s tasty title, Goldberg goes off in another direction entirely, often inverting Burnham’s argument. (more…)

    Buckley posing as writer in limousine with dog accessory

    There is currently a minor contretemps in the Alt Right and Alt Lite as to whether National Socialism is of the Left or of the Right. This is a debate which, I believe, is generally of no practical import, is potentially divisive, and is rooted in several historiographical misapprehensions.  (more…)

    The Enigma of Whittaker Chambers

    Whittaker Chambers, underground man.

    2,070 words

    (Written in the style, if not quite the spirit, of senior TIMEditor Chambers’ weekly newsmagazine.)

    Rumpled, paunchy Whittaker Chambers (April 1, 1901-July 9, 1961) has long merited haughty sneers and raised eyebrows on America’s nationalist Right. Reasons: his shifting ideologies, his inscrutable motives.

    Among the most compelling critiques of Chambers we may count those of Classics professor Revilo P. Oliver. (more…)

    We are All Egoists – and Why That’s a Good Thing

    Artwork by KEKM8

    2,690 words

    Many of those who end up exploring the political fringe – particularly on the Right – end up obsessed with various forms of what might loosely be called egocentricity. In those of a libertarian bent, this usually expresses itself as an obsession with contrasting honorable “individualism” against slavish “collectivism.” (more…)

    Objectivist Zen
    Or: If You Meet Ayn Rand on the Road, Kill Her

    SmurfHat2,641 words

    I discovered Ayn Rand when I was 20 years old and a college student (as prescribed by Scripture). I was living at home and tagged along one day when my mother went to the public library to return some books. There I loafed around, waiting for my mother to finish her usual gratuitous chat with the librarians, when suddenly it caught my eye: a paperback copy of The Fountainhead nestling innocently in one of those tall metal racks that spin around.

    The story is clichéd. A teenager discovers a book. It challenges his religion. It rips apart his morality. He radically changes his behavior within days. The path of his life is forever altered. As Jerome Tuccille titled his book about the libertarian movement, It Usually Begins with Ayn Rand.

    Even a casual glance at the American scene shows Rand’s influence is growing. Sales of Atlas Shrugged are brisk, (more…)

    Jobs

    Jobs2,015 words

    In the last few decades, white flight from the cities has been reversed. With homosexuals serving as the shock troops, wealthy white liberals are gentrifying neighborhoods and cities, and remaking them in their own image. Such communities have certain symbols and institutions to let you know that you are in conquered territory where the “SWPL” (Stuff White People Like) rules. These include expensive cupcake boutiques, COEXIST and Human Rights Campaign bumper stickers, and a Starbucks on every block. (more…)
