I don’t remember where I found out about Alasdair Macintyre. I looked it up on podcasts and most of the references were in liberal or outright reactionary podcasts, including one called conservative minds (hello, he was a marxist?).

I love making memes people won’t understand.

    Fair point, maybe the snippet here is missing the larger context where they could be clarifying that they don’t actually believe in this dichotomy.

    But praising the arch-reactionary Solzhenitsyn is still a big red flag…

      Yeah, you think he’s on his whole “anti-Stalinist” thing mainly because he read some stupid fash fiction when he was younger?
