    This is completely tangential but Dostoevsky would absolutely be an alt-right troll if he were alive today, with an avi like ThirdRomeTriumphant (with saint icon), and lots of shit posts aimed at western liberals, woke capitalism, Jews, Catholics, etc.

        Well, we did have Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn making a stab at this.

        Honestly this makes so much sense. I think I finally understand Brothers Karamazov

        You forgot to give Tolstoy credit for being the spiritual father of every humorless sophomore grievance collector on Twitter.

        Though the Dostoevsky of the Brothers Karamazov had evolved considerably from the Dostoevsky of The Underground Man. I wrote a paper on exactly this topic when I was an undergrad @UChicago (with @nytdavidbrooks).

        I also received the best comment I ever got from a professor, when Ralph Matlaw wrote: "I'm not sure I understand all of this, but I think there's much truth in it. A."

        This only makes sense if you think Dostoevsky aligns himself with the Underground Man, which he does not. Dotovesky created that character to be despised. That book desribes how awful the alt-right is years before they exist.

        What's up with the weird contingent of American alt-right guys (or just educated reactionary conservatives) professing Eastern Orthodox Christianity? Has anyone written on this.

        There's an article by @MazMHussain that addresses that question, but from a different approach. h/t @JasminMuj https://theintercept.com/2019/09/01/bosnian-genocide-mass-shootings/ …
