Straussian Genealogy Needs to Go Away
An essential text to understand the current moment, and how we arrived here, is Leo Strauss's "Three Waves of Modernity." Published in 1975, it was a distillation of his thinking about the political crisis of the modern world, namely ideologies of liberalism, Marxism and fascism.
— Patrick Deneen (@PatrickDeneen) June 14, 2020
Straussian genealogy is a poor substitute for actual historiography, even if some Roman Catholic intellectuals have appropriated it. The problem is sin leading to the development and rise of the state; there's no need to replace historiography with the fallacy of reification.

Straussians Riding Their Proposition Nation Hobby Horse
“What Martin Luther King Jr. called a 'creed,' Lincoln called a 'proposition,' and Jefferson called a self-evident truth—the idea that ‘all men are created equal’—is, as Lincoln thought, the central idea from which all other American ideas radiate." https://t.co/90lnXe8esX

A Straussian Attempt to Appropriate the Alt-R
The essay takes Straussianism as the baseline for comparison. One might even say that it is trying to make Straussianism palatable to the alt-right. Still, at least it recognizes the validity of some of the alt-R. (And implicitly acknowledges that movement conservatism is weak.)
“Over the last 170 years historicism, which knows no partisan boundaries, has undermined the principles of the American Founding.” @AmSavage1776 explains: https://t.co/JHl0KgLYa8

Leo Strauss outlined the essential questions about modernity that Catholics grapple with today.

The problem is not "modernity" as Catholics, influenced by Strauss or not, may believe, but the state.

It's Not an Intellectual Problem But a Moral One

Nomocracy in Politics: “A Straussian Attempt to Discredit Critics: A Response to David Schaefer,” By Paul Gottfried

Paul Gottfried's Perspective on the Conservative Scene
Claes Ryn, Allan Bloom, Leo Strauss, And Me by Paul Gottfried
See also: How Russell Kirk (And The Right) Went Wrong
Even more importantly, says Ryn, Catholics recognize in Straussians figures who share their own “alienation” about living in a predominantly Protestant country. As Canadian philosophy professor Grant Havers documents in a forthcoming book about the studied avoidance by Straussian interpreters of America’s Protestant heritage, Straussians provide a narrative about the American founding that make ethnic Catholics feel secure about their Americanness.
According to the Straussians, America was founded on secular, materialist and democratic principles, but in no way on Protestant ones. Thus, if the Straussians try to de-Christianize and de-ethnicize America, they also conveniently cover up the Protestant aspects of a specifically American tradition.
Catholic Straussians (of whom there are many in Conservatism, Inc.) feel safe living in a “propositional nation” and “global democracy” in which they don’t feel threatened by the real American Protestant (and/or Northern European) American past, extending back to the colonial period. It’s more convenient to jettison such associations for the vision of a constantly changing hybrid society that is held together by universal, egalitarian propositions.

Coming home...
After a rather pleasant respite in Texas with Sarge (about which I should finish writing today), I flew home last night. I went to BJ's in San Bruno last night after being picked up at the airport, and a lot of the aspiring proles were there, wearing their Giants clothing. Do they have any cares about current events? Yesterday's SCOTUS "ruling"? It is good that they are able to enjoy the company of friends and conversation. Can't fault them for that, though they could be rather noisy and obnoxious.
Is that much attention to a professional sports team really valuable in itself? For the men it seems more a misplacement of group loyalty and affection that should be properly exercised towards an personal group. And the female sports fans... how many of them are so because they think this is how they need to behave in order to curry favor and attention from males? One sees a lot of female profiles on OkCupid proclaiming how important being a spectator and following some sports team is to them.

In her witty and wide-ranging account, she explores where breasts come from, why we see them the way we do, and what they reveal as bellwethers for human health in a compromised environment.

Thomas Fleming, Pearl Harbor: Someone Had Blundered
Wilfred Owen was quite wrong. Though it is a hard thing for young men to die, it can be dulce et decorum pro patria mori, so long as the war is just and the leaders something better than the cynical butchers that lead their countries unnecessarily into war.
It is natural for a man to value the polity above himself. But what if the polity itself is an illusion and just an aggregate of individuals and their families, nothing more?
