Strangely enough, the more I read these ongoing descriptions of the indoctrination taking place in these left-wing government-run cesspools, the more I think of ancient Sparta, where the government took the children from their parents as babies and raised them in communal barracks until they were young adults. It is quite clear, after all that has gone on and continues to go on with the monsters running these institutions, that that is precisely what they would do, if given half a chance. Though these missives of yours are hard to stomach, they are truly necessary to keep the attention squarely focused on how vile and corrupt this whole system is.
I've long been inspired by your story and take on history. The Harvard article was a real eye opener about the profession, wondering what you think about starting in at midlife. I'm 42 and about to retire from policing, was thinking about going back to school and doing something with history. It was always my favorite subject in school, it was my college major (Fordham Class of 2004), and was interested in the idea about somehow getting into an intellectual career.
The outline of a goal would be to apply Objectivism (yes, I found out about you via Yaron Brooks) to my favorite historical eras, The Enlightenment, American/French Revolutions, and Reconstruction. To do what I'd want I'd have to learn some philosophy and economics (is it just me, or do Historians just generally ignore economics?).
Anyway thanks for the time if you get to this, and as always, thanks for the articles and books,
Great. "Biosymbolic" that's clever. Good for you with multiple syllables and your ethnic pride! Unearned accomplishments for skin color and genes are in vouge now I noticed. Well. Study your family tree and soak in some blood and soil guy.

Brad: If you haven’t seen this, I am pretty sure you will appreciate it ...don’t know how to send you stuff exactly, so I thought I would try this

Had a general question,

So I guess substack DID let the Nazis in?
