But the disturbing thing to me is that the mainstream doesn’t seem to react to the challenge.
Academia and mainstream political and philosophical tradition have no reason to engage what they don’t need to engage to maintain their position. The Dark Enlightenment is far from power or influence on society. If it demonstrates the ability to grasp it I am sure something like the counter-reformation will be brought to bare by the major established institutions against it.
I took away one thing from the Dark Enlightenment link—that it’s worth being shocked that cities have districts where the local culture makes it hard for people to live with each other. I don’t know whether his claim that first world Asian cities don’t have such districts is true.
