Dr. Hanson, I’m a huge fan of your books, as well as your Classicist, Traditionalist, and Culturalist podcasts, and I have a quick question. I apologise if this is not the correct way to ask listener questions. When debating with people who lean to the left, I often find myself becoming angry or frustrated when […]
From An Angry Reader: You are a shit eating nazi. Trump eats my shit. The u.s. is a degenerate nation born of genocide and slavery. That’s the real history, not the lies you trot out.

Victor Davis Hanson Eeyore’s Cabinet The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is another classical example of mission deviation and subsequent enfeeblement—a sort of organism that mutated from its birthing and now simply becomes anything it wishes.

Victor Davis Hanson Eeyore’s Cabinet We now have about 500-600 jurisdictions that are “sanctuary” cities, counties, and entire states—where progressive neo-Confederates have declared that federal law is now null and void in their safe spaces. But perhaps the most recent and dramatic instance of the nullification of state and local laws—“de facto nullification” as a
Victor Davis Hanson Eeyore’s Cabinet The beleaguered middle class, especially those of the suburbs, for the most part did not join rioting radicalized youths and inner-city minorities in the violence, looting, and destruction, even as their businesses were often targeted, and jobs lost. Some small stores that had somehow endured the two months of shutdowns,
The Wages of Inert Citizenship The world outside or before the U.S. was and is not a pretty thing. Even in rare consensual societies, factions and inequality under the law persisted—whether the plebs and populares of early Republican Rome, the greens and blues of Justinian’s Constantinople, or the Guelphs and Ghibellines of thirteenth-century Florence.

Ignorance of What America Was and Is As the 2020 election season began, the New York Times promised its readers a recalibration of American history called “The 1619 Project.” The ensuing series of essays and media kits had a twofold agenda.
