#1 Thank you for this. A superb interview -- literate, clear, historically deep and astute. Regardless of his offline antics, D'Souza speaks extremely well and is very knowledgeable about a wide range of subjects.

And Historian Stanley Payne is a treasure. Surprised that he's not better known.

Interesting points that Prof. Payne makes in this interview:

- "Identity politics is the stigmatization of groups as "victimizers" and is itself simply a form of racism

- When interviewed in 2016 by media types hoping he, the expert on fascism, would label Trump a fascist, Payne replied, "No! Trump is an un-fascist! He's reducing the power of the state and avoiding war wherever possible!"

- interesting that Prof. Payne predicts there will NOT be another civil war in this country because of the success (by Democrats, Woke left, the Deep State and Big Tech) in creating a powerful centralized state in recent years. "There's nothing left to rebel with" against this Leviathan

- instead of civil war, Payne expects to see Americans who still love freedom and the Constitution - the true "anti-fascists" - to exercise "the Benedict option of a retreat into privatism."

Thank you again. This a gem worth listening to again and again.

#2 If retreat to privatism is coming, then Helen’s Page might be of interest. She started it in the wake of conservative social media start-ups being slammed by leftwing hosting sites as a place where conservative creatives and businesses could meet like-minded customers.

#3 So it's a hookup site?

#4 *sigh* Yes, my dear Skidmark, it is — in the sense that the intent is economic transactions between strangers for things that would be free if done in the privacy of the home.
