    Gettin’ called a ‘degenerate, overly-neurotic left-wing loser’, and I resemble that remark.

    Don’t mind me, just thinking about how if Scruton’s reasoning is followed here, it turns out the existence of plains-clothes police entails—again, following Scruton’s ironclad logic!—that there is no political process in the US, UK and EU.

    This dichotomy is reductive—‘Western’ societies are ‘free’ because they have ‘politics’, grounded in a public that voluntarily engages collective decision-making by voting; ‘the rest are ruled by power’.

    Here Scruton does religious studies from the armchair. Again, no evidence, no argument. This is an analysis of ‘religion’ that bears little relation to reality.

    Very little in Scruton’s book is cited. Is this true? What of WWI and WWII? The Cold War? What evidence is there for this? What of the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan? I can’t determine what Scruton is trying to say here—there are so many obvious counter-examples.

    The moment I cracked open Robert Scruton’s book, The West and the Rest, I knew I was in for a horrendous reading experience. If you don’t know, the ‘clash of civilizations’ thesis is not considered credible by international relations scholars.

    Rush Limbaugh receiving a Presidential Medal of Freedom from Donald Trump carries some real Roger Scruton receiving an Order if Merit from Viktor Orbán energy

    Interesting that @ tradbritgroup should say has a ‘metropolitan background’. (Hint: it’s a right-wing code word for ‘Jewish’).

    I’m not lying, Liam. I got you red handed.

    Look, I’m sorry if I clog up your feed with constant criticism of Roger Scruton’s horrible statements, but I want to make it clear that I treat Roger Scruton’s legacy as much a moral stain on society as he treated gay adoption.

    Remembering this Barbara Kay obit to Roger Scruton and there’s a lot of cognitive dissonance going on claiming somebody that spoke out against queer adoption and in favour of ‘the traditional family’ was the real victim because his coworkers didn’t tolerate his intolerance.

    Upon reading this article,it appears that Scruton’s environmentalism is grounded not in some high-minded stewardship of our shared world but because immigrants make England dirty and overcrowded.

    O’Hear’s article glosses over Scruton’s real output. For example, the casual trans-exclusionary rhetoric in some of Scruton’s articles, as well as his blithe dismissal of intersectionality, is indicative of how thoroughly unoriginal he was as a conservative intellectual.
