@piercepenniless.bsky.social @massimofaggioli.bsky.social @jackhanson.bsky.social Thanks for this, helped clarify two things for me: 1. re shift from just war to holy war, US culture war has been great training ground: mission seen as divinely sanctioned, want to change real facts on the ground 1/2

Outstanding disco from @lrb.co.uk James Butler on the Leo v Trump kerfuffle but w actual experts @massimofaggioli.bsky.social and @jackhanson.bsky.social. Risorgimento to Rerum Novarum to Pacem in Terris to MAGA. Best in class discussion on this topic and it's not close.

‘The Deus Vult crowd appropriate medieval language to justify modern warfare. There is a certain kind of anachronism to it, but it’s also a very modern blending of different idioms.’ @jackhanson.bsky.social on the pope and the president, on the podcast. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...

I have a new essay in this season's Threepenny Review, a dream come true. It's about laughter, drinking, death, my own deathly impatience. I hope you'll read and enjoy it. www.threepennyreview.com/laughter-in-...

A common refrain of mine: "performative" is a useful term that means nearly the opposite of how its used on social media. Hanson here does a really excellent run down of both what that looks like and why that matters. Some very choice quotes in there too for anybody who loves freedom.

Our site is completely free to readers—we have no paywall! We also remain committed to our long-held tradition of publishing a print quarterly. We believe print is a site of resistance; a place where urgent conversations need not be rushed and minds can engage deeply with one another on the page.
