I am sorry for those who read these books. It would be much better if people concerned with white nationalism read your books directly, even when they disagree and hate everything you have to say, at least it would be their disagreement and their hate. Nowadays, everything people feel and think is mediated. Media tells us when to feel outraged. Dozier tells us what to disagree with your books, even hiding the reference so that we never read and think for ourselves. Don't you think Kant and his arguments in "what is enlightenment" are more relevant than ever now? We have to learn to think for ourselves.

Thanks for the excellent essay on an interesting topic. Interpreting ancient history is extremely complex, I don't think it's a simple matter of applying those classical thoughts to the current world, but it's important to know history in general in an case. Personally I think a lot of this so-called "White Nationalist" controversy comes down to the simple fact that due to reasons of communist politics, Whites have been specifically targeted for oppression, most likely because Whites as a group are dangerous to the Globalist-Communist project, despite the fact that modern Globalism and Communism were invented by the white ruling class, who know how to enslave people.

Since Dozier did not cite one of your works, you have no legitimacy now.

Great read. Thank you. And Mr. Dozier if you read the comments to Mr. Johnson's critique thank you for the idea of celebrating Mr. Powell's birthday. He was a brave, wise, well read and very prescient gentleman.

I started out writing a longer comment, reflecting on the declining academic standards apparent in the works of so many post-graduate writers today.

If you can, essentially, write a whole chapter about your ambivalent feelings for Greek columns, based on the Hitler-liked-dogs argument, I really wonder whether your writing can be considered scholarly at all.

But.. so what? Would it make any difference to White nationalists if it turned out that the Greek and Roman classics really supported liberal-globalist multiculturalism?

I doubt it. The classics are culturally important because they represent our heritage, but they’re not a blueprint for the running of nation-states in 2026.

Why does (did?) Dozier care so much? One can only assume that in the face of evidence of the failure of the neoliberal experiment since 1968(ish), he’s gone raking through classical antiquity looking for some validation of it. Only to find, to his chagrin, the racist figure of Mr Johnson, already there with evidence contradicting his assumptions.

He’d be better off moving to an academic field where pseudoscience is still respectable, like neoclassical economics.
