Last week’s This Week in Reaction is up (more or less on time for a change) over at Social Matter. Lot’s of great stuff, the greatest of which is as follows:
Honorable Mentions:
James A. Donald: Spiritual Security. A needful articulation of the dictum: All states have a state religion. The only question is Who controls it for Whom?
Nick Land: Against Universalism II. A stalwart defense of particularism, not so much because of private preferences, but on principle of natural selection.
Mark Citadel: Art of the Media Ambush. A case study in which seven standard tactics, by which the left-liberal media almost always make even the most articulate and well-prepared conservatives look like buffoons, are dissected and analyzed.
Free Northerner: Virtue Signalling. A pitch-perfect description and analysis of virtue signaling and why it’s bad.
Ryan Landry: This Is What Decline Will Look Like On Virtual Reality. An up-close look at VR, where and how it’s breaking out, and how it’s likely to affect us in the future.
Porter: The Rankling. A superbly crafted essay which cracks the thinly concealed hostility that the plutocrat caste has for the great mass of men.
Adam Wallace: Life: Yea or Nay? An all out assault on anti-natalism and a useful introduction to several crucial 20th century thinkers (like Otto Weininger and Anthony Lucovici).
… And the Winner Is:
Dividuals: It really isn’t about individualism vs. collectivism. A masterpiece of rightist political theory showing that not does the individualist-collectivist spectrum fail to map very well onto the left-right political spectrum, it doesn’t map onto it at all.
