So I have a very clear answer to this, actually. Because when I first met J.D., he was talking about the process that now they are trying to fully achieve of overthrowing the American regime. And You know, I met him just sort of coming from the left as a curious observer, writing a skeptical piece actually for the American conservative, which is a really weird project.

And it was it was kind of like nice of him to be willing to participate. So he had to do this process. And this is what year we're talking in? This was when he was just entering into his Senate race. And he had to kind of sit me down and explain the basics as though to a kindergartner. And I asked, you know, what is this regime?

And he said, the regime is the 20% of the American public that knows that its children are going to have to get into one of the IVs or Chicago or Stanford. in order to get ahead in this essentially oligarchical culture that he believes we live in.

And so when people think about the regime, they frequently kind of mistake what the right is talking about these days because they're frequently thinking that it's synonymous with the deep state. And it's not really that. What it is is this complex of university professors, NGOs, which I'm sure we'll talk about at least a little bit, and the way that...

sort of NGOs work to shape policy and to shape worldviews in the United States. It's also this cathedral. It's also this complex of media enforcement of an ideology that they see emanating from institutions like The New Yorker and The New York Times. And the tech companies. And the tech companies, although that's a little bit changing.

Yes. And they would argue, perhaps compellingly, and perhaps this was for the best, that the idea of equality and equity became the sort of governing worldview. The idea that all men are created equal became the governing liberal worldview shared across all institutions. And then another ideology of equality essentially globalism.

And so fundamentally, like part of what goes into conservatism is that all men are not created equal. Some men are born to be elites. Some men are born to rule.

So traditionalism is like a really loose ideology. And the traditionalist thinker that probably most people will have heard of is this guy, Julius Evola.

Yeah, like a weird, I'm not even sure they, some places claim he was a nobleman, some don't. And, you know, Evola had this whole deeply esoteric philosophy of, I can't even really go into it, you know, ideas of solar-influenced people and nations and lunar-influenced and things like that.

And so you'll hear, to go a little bit afield here, you'll hear Alexander Dugin talking in Russia about solar Putin and things like this. And that's coming from this traditionalist ferment
