A roundup of TNR's culture reporting
William F. Buckley Jr. was the erudite heart of American conservatism. But the political vision that he helped forge was—and remains today—focused less on adhering to principles and more on ferreting out enemies. | | | With so many major decisions coming down—with implications for the role of religion in public life, efforts to restrict gender-affirming care, gerrymandering—not to mention the serious threat to our Constitution, there's a lot to unpack. Join us on July 2 to analyze and discuss the end-of-session Supreme Court rulings and their legal and political ramifications. | | | The Möbius Book explores love, faith, and cliché—but its experiments in form don't live up to their promise. | Alice Bolin's essay collection, Culture Creep, interrogates the preoccupation with 2000s-era icons and aesthetics—and how it prevents us from engaging with their more noxious elements. | Is MLM a massive scam or an all-American business tradition—or both? | By Robin Kaiser-Schatzlein | What subscribers are reading: | The filmmaker's follow-up to Past Lives is cerebral and frank about wealth and romance. | Tracing the leftist icon's influence on the history of the United States | | | In Things in Nature Merely Grow, the Chinese-American author writes past grief's clichés. | It's also a rollicking not-quite thriller about family, financing, and (broadly) filmmaking itself. | On August 11, 2017, hundreds of white supremacists carrying tiki torches mobbed the University of Virginia's campus, shouting racist and antisemitic slogans and violently attacking the students who stood up to them. The next day, the same hateful crowd rallied in a Charlottesville park that held a statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee. The city of Charlottesville had recently engaged in a public debate over whether to get rid of the statue, and supposedly the white supremacists were there—summoned by a number of neo-Nazis, chief among them Richard Spencer, and a local racist troll named Jason Kessler—to defend it. Really, they had come to court attention and cause harm. They succeeded on both fronts. Their event, called Unite the Right, became national news when they swarmed the UVA campus, chanting, "Jews will not replace us." (This had what to do with Robert E. Lee?) It became a national tragedy when, on August 12, James Alex Fields Jr., who kept a framed photo of Hitler by his bed, rammed his car into a crowd of counterprotesters, injuring several and killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer. | | | Is opposition to "forever wars" really a core pillar of MAGA Republicanism?
