The Kristol Method
A reader writes:
Yes! You nailed Kristol’s “world-weariness to
outrage." I’ve been trying to find a succinct way of expressing it.
“Oh, come on now, none of this matters!” It’s his constant
refrain whenever he’s asked to defend something awful (socialist! secret Muslim!
terrorist pal!) one of his protégés or heroes says.
He believes in nothing and
therefore thinks no one else believes in anything either.
That's a pretty accurate description of one kind of Straussian. Except they simultaneously claim to be the last defenders of objective truth.
