As someone who straddles both worlds, I think that the debate that is going on here is a tremendous waste of time.
amgreatness.com/2021/05/08/wha…
Don't consider myself any kind of conservative, but paleos are likely the best allies people like Anton can hope for. Who else, National Review fusionists? The Bulwark/Dispatch neoconservatives?
I agree and disagree with McClanahan and Anton on different things and find this flame war a waste of time and energy
I'm probably going to write a response. McClanahan is wrong to take the 1776 Report seriously (independent of well-meaning scholars, it was in reality a Brooke Rollins fundraising grift) and Anton is wrong to exclude paleocons. I got my start at Chronicles. Am I left out now?

The ultimate irony of the Anglo-Saxon tradition debate is the fact Angloids seem to be the ones who are the most offended by the idea their traditions are worth preserving
On the level of elites anyway, where these debates take place
Worth noting that you can't find another civilization in history where the elites have deliberately dismantled what their ancestors built while also demonizing them

"Anglo American values" = the United States and its institutions
Samuel P. Huntington noted in "Who Are We?" that by 1790 the US European settler stock that created America's founding documents and institutions was 98 percent Protestant, 80 percent British, 60% ethnically English. A lot of that has changed, but the history hasn't
Huntington and others argued convincingly that no other group had a greater impact on America's foundational documents and institutions and ideas of government. But what should be a simple and harmless statement of fact is of course controversial in Current Year

Having a kid has made the encroachment of transgender ideology deeply personal for me and has made me less tolerant of people like David French. I quite literally cannot understand people who go along with this stuff and Republicans who cede even an inch are worse than losers.
Even more unfathomable are people that take their kids to drag queen story hour. You're ruining your child's innocence because you want to feel virtuous about tolerating the intolerable--and that's best case scenario

The important thing about the spat between James Lindsay and Alex Kaschuta is that Lindsay's behavior is a reminder that "classical liberalism" is a relative of leftism and generally fights the right harder than the left who it views as a kind of misguided cousin (because it is)
The right poses an existential threat whereas the left is just kind of out of control but certainly well-meaning!
Cannot recommend James Burnham’s Suicide of the West enough here, really made the most convincing case I've ever read

Professional and college sports are a massive scam that make you a fat, impotent spectator of life and are the equivalent of pornography in that you are watching men do what you merely settle for fantasize about

Also they're cash cows for the people ruining America
Study in Europe found people who watch "sports every day were at higher risk of obesity after adjustment for age, sex, smoking, alcohol, physical activity, total TV time, disability, and self-rated health." The same is true and probably worse in America researchgate.net/publication/25…
When you consider that a sedentary lifestyle contributes to the causes of erectile dysfunction, watching sports can quite literally make you impotent ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
