Victor Davis Hanson Equity Equity was rebranded as a word to redefine equality as a mandated equalness of result rather than an equality of opportunity. This “spread the wealth” ideology is by design contrary to the Constitution’s devotion to liberty and freedom. DEI’s “equity,” then, is the neo-socialist effort to use government power, reinforced by […]

Victor Davis Hanson Diversity Has there ever been a sane nation in the world that preferred “diversity” to “unity”? The former Yugoslavia was certainly “diverse,” and it finally stressed its diversity to the point of unending death and destruction. Ditto Rwanda and Iraq. So what exactly was the advantage of ditching the melting pot for

Victor Davis Hanson And urban man, what of the antithetical municipal mind? He too is conditioned by his landscape, with one caveat: whereas he now is the vast majority of the population, at the founding he was a tiny minority. Perhaps, then the Constitution did not particularly have in mind an urban society when it

Victor Davis Hanson Add a farm into the equation without outside or in-town income and then self-reliance can reach absurd proportions. There is no pay scale, no “benefits”, no cost-of-living raises, no HR that wants to hear how you were wronged. It is you against a still mysterious nature, period. Amid failure, there is nothing

“You’re terrible at fear-mongering.” Hey Victor, Leftist nihilist hear, saying “Hi”. I hope you’re having a great day and not huddled in a corner, crying in agony, from the Biden crime families torment. I’m taking a quick break from plotting to destroy the America you love, to just let you know what a complete dipshit

Why, then, would a woke black woman likely soon be asked to resign at one of the most leftwing institutions in America, especially when the Harvard Corporation board hired her precisely for her DEI credentials? Here are several reasons why ultimately she will have to go. If

Victor Davis Hanson The Deep State Remember when we used to trust, at least somewhat, the FBI, the CIA, the DOJ, and the Pentagon? That was before the era of Robert Mueller, James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Christopher Wray, John Brennan, James Clapper, and “51 intelligence authorities,” who either lied under oath, or suppressed the truth,
Victor Davis Hanson The Culture What were woke, DEI, ESG, and cancel culture? What was behind the iconoclasm, the massive 2020 riots, arson, looting, and the blanket amnesties extended to them, soon to be juxtaposed to the long prison sentences for the far less violent, one-day Capitol protests? We should remember that no American ever
Victor Davis Hanson Foreign Policy There have been plenty of foreign policy disasters over the last 60 years since the Vietnam Era. But even in our failures, there was no inherent intent to destroy ourselves and to deliberately harm efforts to improve our security and stature overseas. Not now. Why are we experiencing one of
