Irony in the passage of this review: "One of the either frustrating or engaging attributes of TLP’s style is that tends to dance around his theses."

I felt the same way about the review itself and gave up about 1/2 way through.

I kid, somewhat. But I suppose its hard to write a simple review about a book that's so un-simple itself.

The reviewer stops dancing around his own opinions in the final third. TLP's views, according to the reviewer, are thought provoking, but "cucked" -- TLP lacks the intestinal fortitude to be a hardcore neoreactionary racist, like the reviewer. I found it disappointing.

Wow, I remember being mesmerized by TLP back in the day. Thought provoking and confusing, all at the same time.

I just reread the Amy Schumer post. What a wild ride.

Thanks for the tip!

Don’t know the guy/blog but looks interesting!

Also, I kinda miss the early 10’s where everyone was slightly less insane. This guy’s writing reminds me of those days!
