I got mostly through this episode of the #KnowYourEnemy podcast in awe that the crying Nazi was so erudite. Then, in frustration, wondering why the hosts hadn't mentioned Charlottesville and how different their description of the writer was from how he acts in public, I did a quick internet search.

Caldwell. The author's name is Christopher Caldwell. Not Cantwell.

Duh to me.

It's a good podcast, and I do recommend it for those interested in how the right in the US thinks.

iHeartChristopher Caldwell's Case Against Civil Rights - Know Your Enemy | iHeart<p>Attentive listeners will notice that this episode is about a book but isn't an author interview. That's because it's the first in a new occasional series of episodes that will be dedicated to books by conservative writers that we think are important — whether because a book articulates the right's approach to an issue or problem in an especially revealing way, influenced or galvanized the conservative movement when it was published, or, with the benefit of hindsight, has proven to be prescient about where the right, and perhaps the country, were heading. Many of these books will be from decades past, but our first selection is more recent: Christopher Caldwell's 2020 broadside against the 1964 Civil Rights Act and what it wrought, <i>The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties</i>. Caldwell argues that the apparatus created by civil rights legislation and the federal courts in the 1960s amounted to a new, second constitution that displaced the one Americans had lived under since the founding, one that jettisoned traditional liberties like freedom of association and replaced democratic self-government with rule by bureaucrats, lawyers, and judges. </p><p>Who has access to these new levers of power? Not the working class whites who are neither a favored racial or ethnic minority — a person of color — nor a member of the progressive elites who preside over the new regime. Much of <i>The Age of Entitlement</i> is dedicated to tracing the effects of civil rights legislation when it comes to the causes that arose in its wake: feminism, immigrant rights, gay marriage, and more. But the book is equally a brutal examination of the legacy of the Baby Boom generation (and, by extension, Ronald Reagan, whose presidency they powered), that most 'entitled' of generations, whom Caldwell deplores for wanting to have their cake and eat it, too. Boomers, in Caldwell's telling, refused to straightforwardly reject the second constitution and its distributional demands, while also insisting petulantly, again and again, on having their taxes cut. We explore these topics and more, and end with a discussion of where Caldwell leaves the reader — and where we're at now, in light of the challenge he poses to both conservatives and the left.</p><p><strong>Sources:</strong></p><p>Christopher Caldwell, <i>The Age of Entitlement: America Since the Sixties </i>(2020)</p><p>— <a href='https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/22917/reflections-on-the-revolution-in-europe-by-christopher-caldwell/9780307276759'><i>Reflections on the Revolution In Europe: Immigration, Islam and the West</i></a> (2009)</p><p>Helen Andrews, '<a href='https://claremontreviewofbooks.com/the-law-that-ate-the-constitution/'>The Law That Ate the Constitution</a>,' <i>Claremont Review of Books</i>, Winter 2020</p><p>Timothy Crimmins, '<a href='https://americanaffairsjournal.org/2020/05/america-since-the-sixties-a-history-without-heroes/'>America Since the Sixties: A History without Heroes,</a>' <i>American Affairs</i>, Summer 2020</p><p>Perry Anderson, '<a href='https://www.thenationalnews.com/arts-culture/books/portents-of-eurabia-1.511678'>Portents of Eurabia,</a>' <i>The National</i>, Aug 27, 2009. </p><p><strong>...and don't forget to subscribe to </strong><a href='https://www.patreon.com/knowyourenemy'><strong>Know Your Enemy on Patreon</strong></a><strong> for access to all of our bonus episodes!</strong></p>

Question: What will happen when they take HIM 'to the camps'? As a marginalised person myself (Jewish :anarchismhebrew: , gay :pride: ) I see this pillock as a fuckin' traitor to any of us who have been historically marginalised.

Tario is a dangerous, insecure, pathological lying, narcissist schmuck who needs power, just like stewart Rhodes, Andrew Tate and his fucking brother, and the rest of the toxic twats!

Libertarianism is about protecting markets from democracy - #KnowYourEnemy podcast

totally agree. this is why I call myself a (left/progressive) liberal and not a classical liberal. the latter term implies too much faith in capitalism. I believe everything must be up for public debate and governmental action, while using institutional structures to make some actions harder to take and also always considering possible negative externalities. #LiberalValues

OTD in 1919 the #German Workers Party was formed by Anton Drexler, which became the #Nazi party a year later.

@wikipedia informs us that he was disappointed with his income, so he played the zither in restaurants to supplement his earnings. And that Drexler did not serve in the armed forces during #WorldWarOne because he was deemed “physically unfit for service.” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_
