Can the Dark Ages Return?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Western civilization arose in the 8th century B.C. Greece. Some 1,500 city-states emerged from a murky, illiterate 400-year-old Dark Age. That chaos followed the utter collapse of the palatial culture of Mycenaean Greece. But what reemerged were constitutional government, rationalism, liberty, freedom of expression, self-critique, and free markets—what we know […]

VDH UltraHow DEI Hurts America, Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson 5. Why is DEI dying? Like all commissariats, DEI is expensive. It requires legions of drone commissars to monitor and audit ideology—in this case, tribal essentialism. How many nonproductive auditors as overhead can a society afford? Go back into time and ask the former Soviet Union or Mao’s failed Cultural Revolutionaries? And […]
VDH UltraHow DEI Hurts America, Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson 4. What were the costs to America of DEI? Once race, sex, and sexual orientation were pronounced proof of victimization, then preferences and exemptions obviated the very tenets of civilization, law, and culture. Swarm the border, enter unlawfully, reside illegally—and what followed? De facto amnesty and non-enforcement of laws. Subsidies for housing, […]

It’s Affordability, Stupid?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness The recent Democratic cry of “affordability” is ironic in many ways. The left-wing narrative of Trump hyperinflation was one of desperation and came only after previous memes had failed to resonate. The 2025 generic “dictator,” “fascist,” and “Nazi” smear points never helped the left much. Nor did the nihilist government […]

Cry the Beloved Europe?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Nothing bothers the European elite as much as American conservatives praising the European foundations of their shared, but threatened, Western civilization. Europeans especially resent having their social-welfare state system critiqued by upstart, crass Americans. Their pique only increases as they push back against the condescending American idea that the […]

VDH UltraHow DEI Hurts America, Part One
Victor Davis Hanson 1. What is DEI? DEI—”Diversity, Equity, Inclusion”—is the updated, vastly expanded version of affirmative action set-asides/favoritism/bias based on race. But whereas affirmative action of the 1960s was designed to address the long history of discrimination against blacks (and to a lesser extent Hispanics), and was roughly associated with class (blacks were much […]
VDH UltraIs Trump Chemotherapy Worse than the Biden Cancer? Part Two
Victor Davis Hanson Almost immediately, Trump unleashed a counter-revolution not just to remedy the Biden disasters but to address their symptoms growing over a half-century of leftwing domination of U.S. institutions. In miraculous fashion, the border was quickly secured, with near-zero illegal entries. Over two million illegal aliens either self-deported or were deported by ICE. […]
