      1. When L. Brent Bozell, Jr. died in 1997, he was often treated as a once brilliant mind who had become a fringe crank, over shadowed by his brother-in-law William F. Buckley. Buckley was the conservative mainstream, Bozell the discarded extremist. But that's not true.pic.twitter.com/TGgl9Bp4jZ

      2. Buckley and Bozell had the kind of lives that make a perfect novel: both scions of wealthy families, best buds at Yale, brothers by Bozell's marriage to Buckley's favorite sister, collaborators in McCarthyism & conservatism, and then a falling out over jealousy & politics

      3. In 1960s Buckley became the ultimate establishment insider, the pal of Kissinger, the palatable face of the right for PBS & mainstream media, while Bozell took up seeming lost causes (Carlist monarchism, anti-abortion violence). Yet in 2021 Bozell legacy looms maybe larger

      4. After Trump presidency, it's Buckley style establishment conservatism that seems marginal, caught between irrelevance of Never Trumpers and the impossibility of putting an intellectual shine on Trumpism. While Bozell's legacy of theocracy & authoritarianism is everywhere.

      5. After January 6, where his grandson took part in storming of capital, can we really say L. Brent Bozell Jr. is irrelevant? With the rising of a new cohort of Catholic integralist, is Bozell merely of antiquarian interest?

      6. There have been 4 L. Brent Bozells. Bozell Sr: union buster in 1930s, Bozell Jr. advocated pre-emptive nuclear attack on Russia in 1950s, III said Obama looks like skinny, ghetto crackhead", Bozell IV took part in Capitol riot in 2021.

      7. To paraphrase Oliver Wendall Holmes, four generations of L. Brent Bozell is enough! But there will be more L. Brent Bozells in the future, as I explain here.https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/bozell-buckley-right-violence/ …

          So, LBB-IV perfectly represented the actual demographic of J6 traitors, then. Or to put it another way, there's only enough Joe Currans in the movies or (I repeat myself) stereotypes, & the anxious Bill Comptons often have to do it all themselves...:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_(1970_film) …

          Just as no Adams could possibly improve on Henry, no Bozell could possibly be worse than L. Brent IV-- without getting charged under the Espionage Act, at any rate.

          I see my paraphrase as an inversion of Holmes, since it's aimed at the rich/wealthy, doesn't claim a biological flaw and doesn't call for steralization.

          This was jarring to read even in the toxic soup of Twitter. The creeping resurgence of eugenics is working itself in to a steady jog lately and the very last thing anyone needs is people trying to sound clever with a lil Buck v Bell joke.

          L. Brent Bozell IV: if an Amityville sequel were a person.
