Yoram Hazony to Bret Stephens: You Hate Trump, But You Created Him
14th November 2019
At a debate at Princeton. Of course, the Princeton daily shitpaper called both men “racists,” because competition to work in the dying media is fierce and Princeton students are smart enough to know what appeals to potential employers.
Hazony makes the point that the public has rebelled against Bret Stephens’ philosophy. Stephens would call his world-view “anti-nationalist.” Hazony would call it “imperialist,” because the point of his book seems to be that the opposite of nationalism is imperialism. There is no such thing as a sprawling transnational democracy; it will simply become a corrupt empire where all real power is held by an ostensible elite ensconced in the capital city.
