"Imagine if a prosecutor noted during a murder trial that under the existing statutes and case law, the defendant was not guilty. That might be considered an important concession."

— Jonah Goldberg, on Amnesty International redefining "genocide" just so that they can find Israel guilty of it

In my book, Liberal Fascism, I called this phenomenon the “liberal Gleichschaltung.” Gleichschaltung is a German word (in case you couldn’t have guessed) borrowed from electrical engineering. It means “coordination.” The German National Socialists (Nazis) used the concept to get every institution to sing from the same hymnal. If a fraternity or business embraced Nazism, it could stay “independent.” If it rejected Nazism, it was crushed or bent to the state’s ideology. Meanwhile, every branch of government was charged with not merely doing its job but advancing the official state ideology.

Now, contemporary liberalism is not an evil ideology. Its intentions aren’t evil or even fruitfully comparable to Hitlerism. But there is a liberal Gleichschaltung all the same. Every institution must be on the same page. Every agency must advance the liberal agenda.

'Conservative'???? 🤣 Don't Make Me Laugh!

Let’s talk for just a minute about ‘conservatives’.  Now, for the past several years, I’ve said that to call Republicans ‘conservative’ is a misnomer.  Merriam-Webster defines the word ‘conservative’ as … Tending or disposed to maintain existing views, conditions, or institutions : TRADITIONAL Marked by moderation or caution Marked by or relating to traditional norms of taste, elegance, style,…

Everywhere I look these days, I see young conservatives believing they should behave like jerks or like the body parts they cover with those red ties. Because they have no frame of reference, no meaningful political experience or memory of politics prior to this shabby era, they think being shabby is normal and smart.

– Veteran conservative columnist Jonah Goldberg commenting on twentysomething conservatives who act and even sometimes dress like Donald Trump. Quoted at The Dispatch. (archived)

The effect Donald Trump has had on conservatives who are too young to remember politically the pre-escalator era is appalling even to a lot of more mature conservatives.

There is now a sizeable and still growing number of MAGA babies who totally equate being an immature asshole with being conservative. And these people will be on the political scene for the next half century.

About the only bright spot is that there's a chance their kids will rebel against them. In 20 to 25 years perhaps we'll hear those offspring retort: "Okay zoomer."

think i've triangulated my media bias fairly well with my main news podcasts being the dispatch (conservative largely-anti Trump), the new statesman, the council on foreign relations, and bloomberg

Cada periodista basura que mintió sobre los comentarios de Cheney de Trump

La prensa propagandística demócrata miente completamente sobre los comentarios que Trump hizo sobre la neoconservadora y exrepresentante Liz Cheney en una entrevista con Tucker Carlson. Trump llamó a Cheney un “halcón de guerra radical” y señaló lo fácil que es tomar decisiones sobre las vidas de las tropas estadounidenses cuando estás sentado en una oficina acogedora y aislada y no tienes idea…

#Facebook is using a Conservative magazine ‘The Dispatch’ as the “fact check” on the Project 2025 memes. They are nuking “Project 2025” content. Founded by Jonah Goldberg, Stephen F. Hayes, and Toby Stock, affiliated with the same billionaires behind Project 2025.

“Some of what I am getting at is captured by former United Kingdom Prime Minister Harold Macmillan’s apocryphal reply—‘Events, dear boy, events’—when supposedly asked what the greatest challenge for a statesman is. Political leaders who just follow the polls—or ‘public opinion,’ a term that predates polling—will eventually get blindsided by the fact that giving the people what they want is often a recipe for pissing off the people when that approach creates problems. Reforming Social Security and Medicare is unpopular, which is one reason politicians aren’t interested in doing anything about it. But, at some point, we’re going to have a financial crisis of some sort, and ‘the people’ will respond, ‘It was your job to do something about this.’”

Look, I've got some criticism for Michael Moore, but he's not wrong here, and that's rich coming from Jonah "Every ten years or so, the United States needs to pick up some small crappy little country and throw it against the wall, just to show the world we mean business" Goldberg.

I think that maybe if you were a famous hawk in 2002 you should maybe go live in a cave
