To tag onto the recent Tucker Carlson conversation, here is a rather scathing analysis of the community of “pseudo-scholars and shitposters” Sohrab Ahmari labels the “Barbarian Right.”
Notice any of the tropes detailed in the article being advanced here at RG?
- idolatry of strength (as cartoonishly personified by the likes of Andrew Tate)
- amateur analysis that Nazi death camps were the result not of malice, but a logistical mishap: a failure to plan for the Wehrmacht’s oversupply of POWs
- mass migration into Europe and America is a Jewish-led operation
- they typically advance their beliefs via jokes and by playing around with an existing set of highly mobile memes and symbols. This allows them to preemptively escape serious scrutiny
- the possession by a sort of master or guru of a secret knowledge that “they” would keep from you
- revulsion for the conservatism that took hold across the West during the postwar period because it made peace with the civil rights movement and marginalized Jew haters
He ends his analysis with a call to action.
“There is no limit to how far the Barbarian Right will go in seeking to delegitimize the actually existing American order. The rest of us—especially those on the right who adhere to the precepts of Abrahamic faith and dare not venture beyond good and evil—must say no.”
Some of you are innocently getting caught up in the work of the devil.
And some of you are leading the charge straight to the gates of hell.
It’s not too late for any of you to repent.

Odious views like the Nazi apologia aired by a guest on Tucker Carlson’s podcast this week threaten to make their way from the fringe to the mainstream.
