Scruton’s Last Heresy

In these dark times, when so much is reduced to chaos and roiling terror akin to Raskolnikov’s nightmare at the end of Crime and Punishment, it is a blessed relief to see the burning light of principle and prudence tended by those who still hold to self-evident truths and honour in public and intellectual life. These brave few hold fast against the swirling hordes of reaction, populism and fascism, conserving the liberal principles that undergird our culture. These honourable individuals spare no effort in rooting out the dangers to the light of reason and freedom, especially when they appear on the right. We see one such courageous person wearily but determinedly girding his loins to once again man the battlements of principled conservatism™️, rightly understood, against the father of our new fascist Internationale … Roger Scruton.
