“I find nothing of intellectual or moral value on the right wing of the political spectrum and I question anyone who does. From Kirk and Guenon to Schmitt to Hayek. It’s all just worship of hierarchy and purity - satisfying basic animal emotions and projecting the savage sick conservative psyche on all humans and calling it “human nature”. Considering the above, I’m left (no pun intended) to separate the wheat from the chaff on the left and center left. As far as I can see there is an orgy of ideas on the left - good and bad. The fundamental problem is finding the time to seriously consider them all because accepting any at face value would be stupid, as there are plenty of very stupid leftist ideas. There are also plenty of dangerous leftist ideas and leftist claims that are disgusting lies (biological sex isn’t binary, Darren Merrager isn’t a criminal, etc). In any case, the episode on Campagna’s Technik and Magic model was wonderful, and it was fun to hear the author expound on the ideas I hear referenced so often on the Weird Studies podcast. I’m on the side of Magic. Reality cannot be reduced to language. No matter what the leftist activists or the fascists say.”
