What David French Won’t Say
28th November 2018
The Other McCaine declines to get personal.
David French published a rather strange column at National Reviewentitled “The White-Supremacy Surge” that drags, among others, Milo Yiannopoulos, Allum Bokhari, Steve Bannon, Mytheos Holt, Corey Stewart and Rep. Steve King. Because I know David French and like him, despite his #NeverTrump politics, I don’t want to engage in ad hominem insults, as calling him a “cruise ship conservative” wouldn’t solve anything and would fail to accomplish my educational mission.
French cites an increase in “right-wing” racial violence as somehow linked to the sort of politics he despises, and doesn’t seem to have spent much time wondering about the connection between the two phenomena. Let us stipulate that the vast majority of racial violence, whatever its target or whoever its perpetrators, is committed by people who could justly be labeled losers or kooks. If racial violence usually reflects some combination of personal failure and mental illness, what does this tell us about the underlying causes of the “surge” French laments?
For those who don’t recognize the name, David French is a cuck who often writes for National Review and, not coincidentally, hates Trump and anybody on the Right who doesn’t kiss Crustian ass. (Stacy McCaine may be polite but I’m not.)
