I haven't listened to the interview, but this was my exact impression when I reviewed his book. www.libertarianism.org/columns/vice...

Hey Bluesky! Just started on here, hopeful for some good conversations. Sharing these replies on nationalism as a thread.

If you want great in-depth analysis of why Hazony’s ideas boil down to blood and soil nationalism, I highly recommend the work of @paulmatzko.bsky.social and @akivamalamet.bsky.social in this thread.

Highly recommended, and not because Aaron is a friend (or my multiple appearances). RL is an unusually deep, reflective, charitable, and wide ranging space for important conversations on the past, present, and future of a free and open society from the philosophical to the highly applied.
If you want a thoughtful podcast that calmly digs into the ideologies behind our contemporary politics, and charts a humane, cosmopolitan, and liberal path forward, you'll likely enjoy my own ReImagining Liberty. I get brilliant guests and have focused conversations about politics and ideas.

Listening to @ezraklein.bsky.social’s interview of Yoram Hazony and struck by the fact that Hazony isn’t just bad at nationalism; he’s also bad at understanding his faith. His scriptures are filled with outsiders being grafted into tribes by acts of faith and creedal commitment (e.g., Ruth, Rahab).
