This Is Civic Nationalism
in service of statism. It's not really patriotism.
It's 9/12.

Many reached out to us for a copy of Gen Erik Kurilla's speech at yesterday's 9/11 ceremony. We created this video for all.
The theme: 9/11 was important, but 9/12 was when we came together.
On this 9/12, can we remember what we’ve learned?https://t.co/lS2hQNO5Cc

Sacks talks about cultural revolution, but he blames the wrong causes (social media, which is more a symptom). The loss of a common culture is due in part to multiculturalism, which in turn has been exacerbated by immigration. The scale of mass population centers tends to degrade personality and culture, even if a veneer of social etiquette and naive trust can be sustained in a homogeneous population that already had that cultural capital (e.g. Japan, some European cities). George is wrong about the role of universities with respect to character formation. Paideia needs to start much earlier. And most of American higher ed (including Princeton) cannot be trusted with any share of this task, in so far as it won't repudiate liberalism or feminism. Aristotle recognizes there are differences between male and female excellence as men and women are different, and the education appropriate to each sex is different. Academics are some of the worst male feminists, possibly because they are naive or have low SSH status. One final point: George identifies as the ultimate foundation for character formation the (Judeo-Christian) view of man being made in the image and likeness of God. He also recognizes the Roman Catholic Church has "shot itself in the foot." But he doesn't recognize the extent of the ecclesial problem (e.g. institutional acceptance of feminism). Nor can there be a "Judeo-Christian" evangelization of peoples. And, again, Christianity by itself is not a solution to a multiethnic state in danger of disintegrating.

Emile Doak Reviews They're Not Listening

Nat'l populism is a necessary corrective to the failures of globalist neoliberalism.
But it must be tempered by the best of the classical, conservative, and Christian tradition.https://t.co/G200T5Mr29
[N]ational populism needs to be tempered by the best of the classical, conservative, and Christian tradition. The national populist revolution represents a necessary and overdue corrective to the decades of globalist neoliberalism that have plagued Western politics. It moves the political paradigm back towards the realm of limits, solidarity, community, and place. But without the tempering forces of virtue, it may over-swing into the more troubling territory of naked tribalism. In other words, the national populists need the social conservatives.
Girdusky and Hill, two political consultants, conclude They’re Not Listening on a strikingly apolitical note, echoing shades of Rod Dreher’s “apolitical politics” in The Benedict Option: “If national populists really believe that nations are families rather than the neoliberal premise that they’re marketplaces, then they’re going to have to start acting like it,” they write, “They’re going to have to create physical communities centered around local institutions, faith-based organizations and small businesses.” There’s an irony here: Physical communities are necessarily rooted in a specific, local place, and organizations and businesses develop inherent hierarchies—or, one might say, aristocracies. So perhaps herein lies the synthesis: a national populism, lived out with a healthy respect for the local and the aristocratic.
Get the scale right and aristocracies won't be wrongly centered on "organizations and business" but on the political community itself. Organizations and businesses in thesmselves have no relation to political rule. (Different ends.) Aristocracies are discovered within the political community themselves and sanctioned by them.

Pope Francis’s Call to the Apostolate of Politics https://t.co/lAoqZSaImd
— Rafael de Arízaga (@RafaeldeArizaga) September 10, 2020
My comments:
Lots of Latins making much out of yesterday's Wednesday audience text because the political principle of the common good is used by Pope Francis. When the number of misunderstandings concerning the common good cannot even be resolved by the thick Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church (i.e. the patriarchate of Rome), a short presentation by Pope Francis in relation to COVID-19 will be insufficient and may even be dangerous in so far as it is open to misinterpretation and distortion. While the exposition of the common good by Pope Francis (or his ghostwriter) is generally correct with respect to its primary use, it is erroneous in so far as it applies "common good" to different scales of political ordering in an univocal rather than equivocal manner. Such a naive understanding of the "common good" leads to statism even if it is out of "good motives," because the intention and that which is ordered to the end intended are both disordered. As you may be able to tell, to actually unpack those claims would require more than the amount of time allotted for a Wednesday audience. But scale is an issue of which those specializing in Roman Catholic social teaching (i.e. moral theology with respect to political life) are generally ignorant. The tentative nature of RC social teaching should be admitted, but the more this pope makes use of it, the less possible this will become, given the Latin tendency to over-inflate the authority of the bishop of Rome. I suspect the next encyclical will highlight the problems of Latin ecclesiology once again, despite scholastic musings about what makes for ex cathedra teaching (e.g. having the proper formula) and conditions for infallibility.
