The Peculiar Institution of Higher Education

Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Nothing is now stranger than the contemporary college campus.  Not too long ago, Americans used to idolize their universities. Indeed, in science, math, engineering, medicine and business, these meritocratic departments and schools often still remain the world’s top-ranked.  Certainly, top-notch higher education explains much of the current scientific, technological, […]

Fragments of Memory

Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers Two days ago, I drove in a 5-square-mile radius and noticed that the 100 or so farms I grew up with are all gone. Caput. Everyone. Not one grandkid, relative, etc. seems to be farming. The acreage seems either rented out or sold off.  The land is usually leased […]

Eeyore’s Cabinet: Where Does it All End?

Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers Eeyore could continue, but what we are witnessing is unapologetic nihilism. We are engaged in a suicidal impulse to delight in primaeval tribalism, to destroy the entire concept of merit—and to erect in its place a Sovietized system largely overseen by middle-aged,  privileged white people and minority elites, who as […]

Eeyore’s Cabinet: The Racial Golden Calf

Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers A multiracial democracy of the 21st century has abruptly begun worshiping superficial appearances, as it announces that everything from the order of vaccinations and farm aid to cash vouchers for the poor and dorm selections will be determined by race, in utter violation of the U.S. Constitution that is increasingly […]

The New Racism Is the Old Racism

Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness What will be the future of the mass hysteria spawned last summer? No one knows.  But its destination, if unchecked, will be ethnic tensions and sectarian strife at best akin to those in Brazil and India—or at worst Lebanon, Syria, and Rwanda.  Until just a few years ago, racial […]

Eeyore’s Cabinet: 1984 Came and Nobody Cared

Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers No free society can long survive in such a climate of untruth when its media is an Orwellian ministry of truth, and the entire population is nursed on mendacity. We are now suffering through “Hunter’s laptop” psychodrama. Everyone knew in October 2020 that it was genuine—and dangerous to Joe […]

Optimism, Inc. Part 4: BLM, Inc.

Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers BLM and the Great Awokening will follow the same pattern as the Jacobins and McCarthyites. The Left quickly made its points that occasionally and wrongly police use undue force against black suspects. But it then simply went mute when it was a matter of ascertaining whether unarmed apprehended blacks […]

From A Polite and Ernest Semi-Angry Reader: Dear Mr. Hanson, I am a senior woman from Michigan, snowbird over the winter in Florida. I am so sad these days that anything written by either side is vituperative, mean spirited, and anger provoking. Your 10 new rules by radicals could have had a much nicer tone. […]

Eeyore’s Cabinet: The Obscene Word “Merit”

Victor Davis Hanson // Private Papers Just appearing this week in the news are stories that our elite colleges have sent out letters of admissions. White applicants at many universities have been accepted at historic lows of about 28 percent (of a population base of 68-70 percent), despite the supposedly cherished tradition of ‘proportional representation.’  Will the […]

How Much Ruin Do We Have Left?

Victor Davis Hanson // American Greatness Any nation’s well-being—as Americans know from their own illustrious history—hinges on only a few factors. Its prosperity, freedom, and stability depend on its constitutional and political stability. A secure currency and financial order are also essential, as is a strong military. Perhaps most important, however, is a first-rate, inductive […]
