      There’s an article about the right wing about who in the last generation are sounding “conservative” themes in the “mainstream” but don’t really write for the right wing outlets. The other half of the article will talk about how the establishment right wing can’t really

      perceive these figures. I mean since I started paying attention creating its own outlets was the fundraising and jobs program of the right but while it’s gotten some results it has also lost a lot of ground. Who were the writers, artists, directors, etc whose concerns, interests

      would be of interest to the right wing but never would be seen at CPAC or in the pages of @Commentary or @NRO there has been some “most conservative movies” list but I’m looking for what that means for conservatism or if you’re a young, say, conservatively inclined person how

      do you decide if you want to go down that rightie career path or stick in that movie studio job. And moreover if such exist why has it been so obvious the culture in one sense likes those products and artifacts but not enough to change the culture.

      There are counters of course but taking a look at such a group of young writers, artists etc may highlight some of conservatism’s failures. I sometimes feel cons like Great Books mostly by dead people without looking too closely into artists unconventional lives or ideas.

      One counter for example could be science fiction and fantasy (post Tolkien). A lot touches on deep issues serious conservatives care about (a lot doesn’t) - who are the younger ones, the classics, the debates going on.

      Kenner tried to get people on the right to think in these terms in 1950s and 1960s -- and mostly failed. That's pretty clear in the Kenner/Davenport letters.

      That sounds like good company to be in. Will have to look it up.

      The stuff in the letters where Kenner and Davenport enthuse about Tolkien is very much in this vein.

          #MehansMammals, while coming from the wrong institution to pull it off, was a kind of exercise in this very thing. It is worth noting that a third of the customer base for the book was environmentally conscience left of center sorts. See pinned tweet.
