    This weekend @SohrabAhmari tweeted that now is not the time the "polite David Frenchian third way" around the culture war. This is of a piece with the constant Trump-era critique that I'm a squish who doesn't fight. Absurd.

        Ahmari's evolution into a vicious Trump booster was increasingly obvious in his last days on the Commentary podcast.

        Agree. As a regular Commentary listener, his (de)evolution was amusing to watch. By his final episode he had fully devolved into an Am Greatness caricature. Noah Rothman’s patient tolerance of Sohrab’s perpetual whiny pearl-clutching was profoundly entertaining.

        David your strategy is the reason we lost the culture war, it is the reason the media and academia is controlled by the far left.

        Calling decency a “strategy” is something else

        Manners and decency are not merely about the feelings of the hearer. They are about the character of the speaker. I don't want to become what I oppose.

        Several years ago I was charged with teaching middle schoolers the importance of manners. I asked them if they knew why manners were important. None of them did. I then asked why engines needed motor oil. I was quickly told that the oil kept the parts from rubbing together too+

        Mr. French, I disagree with you fundamentally on some issues, and my position on those issues is far from theoretical. By today's norms, I should hate you. But in fact, I feel the exact opposite. I admire your recognition of everyone's humanity. /1

        The payoff for this is that you help me recognize your humanity. And it helps me moderate my position and provides me with the strength to tell my allies to moderate theirs. It is a win-win. Please keep it up, although I do hope you lose (gracefully) in those arenas. /2x
