Culture and Politics on a ‘Fortress Island’

André P. DeBattista November 15, 2022

A people do not become a nation—however tiny and insignificant a nation—until they possess a literature; just as a man becomes a man only when he reveals his personality through speech.

Carl Trueman on Our Strange New World

Jonathon Van Maren November 10, 2022

How did we get here? As Trueman explains it, three intertwining concepts and their origins must be understood to grasp our current culture: expressive individualism, the sexual revolution, and our social imaginary.

Kitsch and the Common Good

Joshua Hren October 2, 2022

Though kitsch wears the costume of reality’s vocabulary, it does not describe things as they are. You could only call it good without qualms of conscience after downing a Dionysian dose of expired boxed wine.

Devouring Our Young: The West’s Chronos Complex and the Rise of the New Right

Kurt Hofer September 29, 2022

The victory this week of Italy’s Giorgia Meloni fits into this story as well. Her words—and perhaps, in the future, by the grace of God, her party’s actions—are nothing less than a full-throated disavowal of the West’s Chronos Complex.

Russia, Ukraine, and the Fogs of Culture War

Jonathon Van Maren September 23, 2022

The fundamental tragedy of progressive and media malfeasance is that the very real plight of millions of Ukrainians is being lost in the social media roar.

Mario Laghos September 17, 2022

Today, the unitary ideal is dead, and factionalism is baked into any serious understanding of British politics.

Folk Music and Dancing with Children

Sebastian Morello September 10, 2022

Listening to pop music—like the rest of modernity—marks an education in unreality, which is no education at all. Folk music, on the other hand, is invariably rooted in the concrete reality of life.

Teacher Jailed for Contempt of Court: Casualty of Culture War?

Bridget Ryder September 8, 2022

Who, amid the convulsions of culture wars and legal rights, is standing up for those who suffer the worst consequences of gender dysphoria and the immutability of biological sex?

Media & the Culture War:
Everything Old is New Again

Matthew Tyrmand August 23, 2022

We create the alternative media to the mainstream purveyors of politically motivated mis- and dis-information. These platforms are robust, growing, and wholly necessary to preserve real freedom and real justice.

Common Culture and Identity: On Surviving as a People

Sebastian Morello July 8, 2022

One of the terrible features of modernity is that we measure everything by the criteria of productivity and success. But we were not made to be productive, nor to be successful, at least not as our world understands such terms. We were made to flourish.
