Earlier this year, I published an article sharply criticizing white nationalism, neo-Nazism, and the resurgence of paleoconservatism within the Republican Party. In retrospect, I made a significant rookie error: I conflated paleoconservatism with the fringe ideologies of white nationalism and neo-Nazism. This mischaracterization stemmed from a shallow understanding of paleoconservatism, which I had not yet [...] The post A Realignment of the Right first appeared on The Princeton Tory.| The Princeton Tory

It is common knowledge that the vast majority of sociology is completely worthless, or worse than worthless, and that “social science” is an oxymoron. Still, the study of the societies of man can be a worthwhile discipline, as a branch of humanities, not the sciences.
