The Worthy House (Charles Haywood)
Charles Haywood
I am here to give you back your future. Human flourishing in the coming post-liberal West. The hour is late, and Moloch is within the gates. Foundationalism. Reality-focused writings, often on history and politics.

On the Marble Cliffs (Ernst Jünger)
The third book in Jünger's (unrecognized) trilogy about tyranny—not in the abstract, but how to live in relation to, and what to do about, tyranny. Any relationship to current events in the West is pure coincidence, of course.

Throw Back Thursday: I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon (Crystal Zevon)
Something new: Throw Back Thursday, in which I showcase older articles that newer readers may have missed. This is, for once, not political. Rather, it is an oral history of the ultra-talented Warren Zevon, warts and all.

Uncivil Society: 1989 and the Implosion of the Communist Establishment (Stephen Kotkin)
Of the looming collapse of our own American (and Canadian) regimes, through the lens of the 1989 collapse of similar regimes in Eastern Europe. With plenty of my thoughts on how to avoid the errors made after those earlier regimes were eliminated, which errors allowed members of the former regimes to keep much of their power and privileges. Let's not do that again.

The Enemy: An Intellectual Portrait of Carl Schmitt (Gopal Balakrishnan)
Before I began working my way individually through all of Carl Schmitt's important works, I read this excellent book, which provides a fine overview of Schmitt's thought and relevance. And that relevance to today is growing by the hour. (This article was first published November 12, 2018.)

God Is a Man of War: The Problem of Violence in the Old Testament (Stephen De Young)
An exposition and explanation of why God sometimes commands violence, and of why the Old and New Testaments are not in tension or contradiction. With my own thoughts on justice, in particular the appalling concept of "social justice."

Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland (Christopher R. Browning)
In these strange days of violent medical apartheid and state-organized hatred directed at those who will not comply with criminally insane dictates, Christopher Browning's classic work on how ordinary men end up participating in mass killing has taken on fresh relevance. Forewarned is forearmed; make ready. (This article was first published November 2, 2018.)

Ship of Fools: How a Selfish Ruling Class Is Bringing America to the Brink of Revolution (Tucker Carlson)
Tucker Carlson's indictment of our ruling classes in 2018. Things have gotten much worse since, and all the palatable solutions have long fled the building. (This article was first published October 28, 2018.)
