In Masculinity and Patriarchal Villainy in the British Novel: From Hitler to Voldemort (2020) I argue that villains' stories are cautionary tales against the excessive empowerment of patriarchal men. Heroes eliminate them to keep the status quo intact.

German politics hot take: massively expanding German military in response to the threat of Russia is what Putin actually wants, because then when the AFD takes power, Germany’s withdrawal from NATO will give Putin a more powerful ally with which to bully the rest of Europe.

"Retrotopia" (Zygmunt Bauman): Longing for a lost time and place that never actually existed.
People wildly overestimate the economic security experienced by past generations. There's no period in American history where significant numbers of young people were just handed high paying jobs. Nostalgia for a time that never existed is a huge problem.
Why Nikki Haley’s son went radical: His generation inherited insecurity.
I profile Nalin Haley, a fascinating young man, who I believe will likely play an important role in conservative politics in years to come.
