Going back and reading Jonah Goldberg's columns from the early and mid 2000's is a surreal experience.pic.twitter.com/iIltvgS2q8

lol, from his 2002 article http://www.nationalreview.com/article/205309/hitler-vs-hussein-jonah-goldberg … "So my detractors are constantly getting me confused with these *other* rabidly pro war guys named Goldwhatever. Truly, anti-Semitism is a disease of the mind...". Good grief he's making it explicit and laughing about itpic.twitter.com/eHa3IzaWVo

Also never forget that Goldberg once argued (in a now deleted article at NRO, lol) that "ackshually, arch-reactionary and proto-fascist Joseph de Maistre was really a *leftist*, because he liked identity politics". An excerpt from Paul Gottfried's "Conservatism in America":pic.twitter.com/FPH8KZx7LU

"Throne-and-altar reaction? Heh, let me tell you friend, as crazy as it might sound, that's right up Hillary Clinton and the DNC's playbook. Yes, I get that it's counter-intuitive, so here is a great analogy from The Simpson's that should help explain..."

Amazingly, people paid thousands of dollars to go on a cruise with National Review's staff. I bet it was like "The Love Boat" except everyone was geriatric, obsessed with tax cuts, and the only gag was a senile Midge Decter repeatedly referring to Deroy Murdock as "the help"pic.twitter.com/NWGpVhHM2R

"You're looking a bit down, friend. Troubled by Trump? Perturbed by populism? How about a nightcap? No? That doesn't 'float your boat'? OK, how about a nightcap with David French and Jay Nordlinger on the QUEEN. FUCKING. MARY!? Incels welcome aboard (please consult Frank Luntz)"pic.twitter.com/QIkOj3DAb1

The article is still online: Arguments of Color, by Jonah Goldberg January 21, 2002http://www.nationalreview.com/article/205122/arguments-color-jonah-goldberg …

Ah, thank you for the correction- I couldn't find it, only references to it. Still, the larger point stands

Dang, neocons were whining about "identity politics for white people" in 2002. And they thought they were punching down at fringe losers then, ha.pic.twitter.com/AOzA4Wu1XL

Also, the de Maistre shit is hilarious. Dinesh says Dems r da real Nazis; Goldberg says Reactionaries r da real liberals (that is, racists).
-
Also funny that De Maistre isn't even much of a racialist. The quote he uses from him is just another way to say that abstract 'natures' are only realized in particular instantiations (hypostases for humans). i.e. standard classical-Christian metaphysics.

Is there a greater symbol of the National Review's decline than the fact that Goldberg has written for them for almost two decades?

I guess if leftists are the real nazis it's only reasonable to conclude reactionaries are the real leftists.
