VDH UltraAngry Reader 04-27-22
From An Angry Reader: Prof. Hanson, Your idiotic take on the left’s nihilism left me incredibly surprised. A completely new low, even for you. How about you do one on the right’s nihilism?

Our Spanish Civil War?
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness From 1936 to 1939, the civil war in Spain became a European laboratory of new tactics, strategies, logistics, wartime morality, and weapons.

How America Became La La Land
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness America these last 14 months resembles a dystopia. It is becoming partly the world of George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, partly the poet Homer’s land of the Lotus-Eaters. Nothing seems to be working. And no one in control seems to care.

Trickle-Down Racist Antiracism
Victor Davis Hanson American Greatness Elected governments were rare in the past. They did not appear until over four millennia after civilization first emerged in the Near East. Constitutional systems were fragile at birth. And they are on the wane today. Nation after nation seems to be devolving into autocracy. Multiethnic, multiracial consensual governments have been […]

VDH UltraCruel, Demented, or Incompetent? Part Three
Victor Davis Hanson Historian’s Corner Inflation Does President Biden deliberately invite inflation? Is it some sort of cruel Jacobin redistribution scheme?
