Kevin D. Williamson Is Going to The Dispatch

Kevin D. Williamson giving a lecture at AEI,
"Congestive Heart Failure: Theory and Application"

Just a rumor which I cannot confirm so take it with a grain of salt. Update: I have a fairly solid confirmation that Williamson is out at NR and in at The Cuckshed.

Now I hear more, but I also cannot confirm that part.

I am merely reporting upon the existence of the rumor. I make no claims about the factuality of the rumor. And I'm not mentioning the second part of the rumor at all. Update: This part of the rumor was denied. We'll see, we'll see.

In the meantime, here's something completely, totally unrelated about The Dispatch.

A month ago, The Dispatch attempted to #cancel National Review writer Nate Hochman. Hochman had, I guess, become a Target for the neoliberals/neocons at The Dispatch, because he seemed to be more populism-curious than most National Review writers.

So they #Cancelled him. They specifically cancelled him for, get this, disputing and disagreeing with Nick Fuentes, who is frequently accused of trafficking in anti-semitic and/or racist tropes.

Now if you're wondering, "Why would you cancel someone for disagreeing with Nick Fuentes?," it's because Hochman didn't disagree with him in the way the progressives-pretending-to-be-Republicans would prefer, which is through #Deplatforming and #PerformativeMoralOutrage. Instead, Hochman just disagreed with him and rejected his claims.

And for that, The Dispatch -- run by "conservatives" Steve Hayes and Jonah Goldberg, and Chief Assistant Swabby David French -- literally went running to his employer to #Cancel him.

And did get him #Cancelled, from one job, at least.

Another fixture in this world is a friend of Sharma's and perhaps the most prominent public face of the young new right--the left-wing media's go-to voice for insight into this crowd, Nate Hochman. (Hochman interned for The Dispatch in 2020.) Hochman describes the Cicero Society as "particularly decadent" and an "over-the-top, silver-spoon" club. He can be found at the meetings fairly regularly, and says he was planning on going to the spring cocktail party until a conflict arose.
Hochman is now a Claremont Institute fellow and an Intercollegiate Studies Institute fellow, the latter of which got him a yearlong spot at National Review starting last August. Sharma and Hochman know each other from general D.C. social life, and also occasionally intersect in the professional sphere, such as when they both appeared in a Twitter Spaces chat room--an audio-only space on Twitter where conversations are not saved once they end--with prominent Holocaust denier and white nationalist Nick Fuentes in December 2021. The conversation was ostensibly to discuss whether Fuentes and his ilk have a place in the new right.
The Dispatch obtained an audio recording of the Twitter Spaces conversation from an individual who listened in. Hochman argued that Fuentes shouldn't be a part of the conservative movement, quarreling with Fuentes about his tactics and understanding of racial politics in America. But he praised what Fuentes had accomplished throughout the conversation.
"You've gotten a lot of kids based, and we respect that for sure," Hochman told Fuentes. (Urban Dictionary defines "based" as: "A word used when you agree with something; or when you want to recognize someone for being themselves, i.e. courageous and unique or not caring what others think. Especially common in online political slang.")
"I think Nick's probably a better influence than Ben Shapiro on young men who might otherwise be conservatives," he said at one point. "The fact that kids are listening to you, there are good things and bad things about it. But the fact that you have said super edgy things means that there's a pretty strong ceiling to what you can accomplish in politics."
Most of Hochman's criticisms of Fuentes were less about substance and more about style, as Hochman stated repeatedly that while he has respect for Fuentes, he thinks his white identity politics isn't a winning strategy in America right now.
"If you are going to insist on a political coalition that is strictly organized around white identity at the exclusion of other people that might be allies in the electoral vote, you are going to lose because that kind of politics is no longer viable in America. Maybe it would be ideal if it were, but if you are running a political campaign, a political strategy around activating white identity as an organizing principle of your politics you are going to lose. I respect some of what you're doing, but this, fundamentally, is why I was saying earlier, I don't think you're a serious political operator because the kind of politics that you are advocating is disconnected from the reality of what America is in 2021. It's just not gonna work."

Hochman was trying to lead Fuentes away from race essentialism in a way that would not put him immediately on the defensive and thereby cause him to reject all arguments.

He was also doing what NeverTrumpers should immediately recognize as Solid Political Craftsmanship -- just telling the person you wish to manipulate that while maybe there might be something to what they're saying, we can't do what they're suggesting now. It's just not practical.

NeverTrumpers and liberal Republicans -- neocons/neoliberals -- have long told actual conservatives that maybe they agree with us on strengthening the border, "but we just can't do that right now, the politics are against us, we just have to pass a nice corporate tax cut this year. Maybe in 2060 we'll get around to border security."

So Hochman was trying to convince Fuentes in a way that actually had a chance of succeeding, instead of simply doing what Jonah Goldberg demanded, which is to start blubbering, "Well I never!" and #Deplatform him.

And for that, the writer of this piece, Alec Dent -- with the approval of Hayes and Goldberg, I'll warrant -- went toddling off to Hochman's employer, the Robert Novak Fellowship Program, showed them the "receipts" of Hochman's non-huffy-responses to Fuentes, and got him terminated:

Hochman was also, until very recently, a fellow in the Robert Novak Fellowship Program, which sponsors young journalists as they work on a yearlong project. When reached for comment, the Robert Novak Fellowship Program said it had rescinded his fellowship on Thursday after the organization became aware of his comments in this Twitter Spaces discussion.

By the way, this entire article is written in a cowardly way: It's plainly about this #cancellation attempt on Nate Hochman, a writer at Goldberg's former magazine. But it hides that, and pretends it's about this very minor, not-worth-writing about monthly get-together by young people on the "New Right." The big revelation? Although they're all populists who want to re-orient politics to the working classes, and pro-religion culture warriors, they come from wealthy, privileged backgrounds and engage in the vices of the worldly.

Shocking stuff, I know. Who could know that the sort of people who could afford to come to DC and kick around doing magazine-type stuff instead of finding work that paid better and more regularly would be backed by familial wealth?

But, as I said, the article is written in a cowardly way to hide the fact that it is in fact just a pure #Cancellation piece; it is dressed up with this nonsense about a monthly bar-night for populist-minded members of the New Right because they aren't brave enough just to headline their piece, We're Joining Our Friends on the Left in Cancelling Our Enemies on the Right.

I mention this because Kevin D. Williamson poses as a defender of free speech -- at least as long as the free speech being defended is uttered by someone on the left.

So, surely the "Pro Free Speech" Kevin D. Williamson would not leave National Review, which is, for once, standing up for free speech by not firing Hochman, to go work for the Democrat-funded shill site that is attempting to get him fired?

Right?

Kevin D. Williamson certainly wouldn't pose as a Defender of Free Speech, making a big show of defending the free speech of lefties, while supporting the deplatforming and firing of right-leaning people, right?

I mean, that certainly doesn't sound like the Kevin D. Williamson I know.

I have indirectly reached out for comment from someone from National Review for comment, on background, and have not received any response at the time of publication, as they say.

So, without any response from National Review, this is just rumor.

We'll know in a week or two if the first part of this post, about him leaving National Review to join The Dispatch, is true.

I don't know anything about Fuentes, or if the description of him as a white supremacist is truthful, or the usual character assassination that is the coin of the realm in our debased culture.

But if an NR asswipe is saying "there's a pretty strong ceiling to what [he] can accomplish in politics," then I guess we all better get used to saying "President Nick Fuentes."

I mean, at least the ugly rock stars with hot babes sing, sorta-kinda, and wave fat wallets around.

No. IIRC the story Williamson raised the ire of us here not for being a hack, or an asshole or even a Dem-stooge but for supporting cancelling people he disagreed with along with the likes of Goldberg

Then he got partially cancelled for something and suddenly the NRO types were upset at the idea of cancelling someone.

Fatty's misadventure at The Atlantic was both hilarious and revealing.

One column and out the door. That was so funny.

not really. He did say that, because he had to (he had said it for everyone else whose cancellation he approved of), but he whined and whined about it and argued that while The Atlantic COULD fire him, they SHOULD NOT fire him.

An argument he could have made with any of the dozens of people who were fired before him, but which he refrained from making. That is, one can say "ABC CAN fire Roseanne, but a media company should have sufficient devotion to free speech and pluralism that they should not fire people over such things."

He did not make that argument for Roseanne. He did make it for himself.

I guess because he weighs more?

I know, but while we joke about David French and the cuckshed, Kevin Williamson was a total cuck in the true Shakespearean sense.

His wife was younger than he was, a troubled girl, and he took her in and then tried to dominate her. I don't know if her story is still out there, but it's a brutal takedown of Williamson - a bully pretending to be a White Knight whose price for support is abject submission.

As she got older, she recognized this and rebelled - waiting until he was doing his "Fellow" thing to cheat on him and then confronted him with it. She seemed to think the "brown" nature of her lover was extra painful for him.

I think it was hushed up because the DC folks look after their own.

300 Mr. Creosote: "Better get a bucket, I'm gonna throw up."

Creosote is then led to his table and, once seated, starts projectile-vomiting, generally failing to hit the provided bucket. The floor quickly becomes covered in vomitus, and so do the cleaning woman and the maître d's trousers.

He is served everything on the menu

He finishes the feast, and several other courses, vomiting profusely all over himself, his table, and the restaurant's staff throughout his meal, causing other diners to lose their appetite and, in some cases, throw up as well.
Finally, after being persuaded by the smooth maître d' to eat a single "wafer-thin mint", his stomach begins to rapidly expand until it explodes: covering the restaurant and diners with viscera and partially digested food—even starting a "vomit-wave" among the other diners, who leave in disgust.

Creosote is amazingly still alive when the explosion clears, but his chest cavity and abdomen are now blasted open, revealing his spread ribs and intact, still-beating heart and viscera.

His version of the story is that he was at the opera (so sophisticated!) and some women was fiddling with her phone while the soothing stains of the performance were underway. He spoke with her, asked an usher to intervene, and when neither of them did his bidden, this sensitive soul smacked the phone out of her hand because the bitch deserved it.

Okay, he left that last part out, but his explanation of why he'd been charged with assault on The Corner was truly cringeworthy, and naturally because he was of the Special Class, this was portrayed as a mere misunderstanding by a Totally Classy Man Who Loves Opera and Pimpslaps Bitches Who Deserve It.

304 The energy in that album comes from bandmates romantically involved splitting up. John and Christie McVie and Nicks and Buckingham were both in the process of splitting up during the writing and making of this album.

From purely accounts I read, Buckingham is a real perfectionist ass and not that great of a person to be around but he added real energy and new direction to the band as it moved from its earlier incarnation with Peter Green etc. as bluesy cult band into a pop hit machine.

If you can find them on utube, tension among bandmates is pretty apparent if you watch their stage shows of the era of this album. Nicks and Buckingham still don't appear much to get on and I think Lindsay B. was dropped again from their most recent tour dates.

310 I have a theory that working in a corrupt organization or field causes people to disengage from morality and personal integrity and makes them embrace power.

My theory was mostly based on cops and lawyers - both fields are corrupt and an honest person will have a very hard time surviving. Maybe it can be done with a strong family and community. (Certainly there are exceptions and not every PD or law practice is amoral, just most of them.)

But I think it applies to political writing too. These people gave up on personal satisfaction in their work and instead go for money and power (and food.)

Masculine sophisticated men of the Religious Right generally don't have ex-wives, let alone ones who pen detailed accounts of how they cheated on their husbands.

The fact that this sophisticate felt entitled to slap the phone out of the hands of a woman he did not know in a public venue with lots of witnesses lends credence to his ex's claim that he treats women as inferiors.

I think the most telling part of the essay was her claim that he never liked her as her, only as a dependent who would praise him no matter what he did. An egg-shell ego, as it were.

381 Masculine sophisticated men of the Religious Right generally don't have ex-wives, let alone ones who pen detailed accounts of how they cheated on their husbands.

The fact that this sophisticate felt entitled to slap the phone out of the hands of a woman he did not know in a public venue with lots of witnesses lends credence to his ex's claim that he treats women as inferiors.

I just don't but this line of argument. You're using her adultery and the mere fact of divorce as some sort of badge of his wrongdoing. As for the phone incident, unfortunately, civil society has broken down to the point where large numbers of people won't behave in public settings. Two wrongs don't make a right, but I can sympathize with the impulse to take away gadgets that zombies can't seem to stop using in theaters etc. It's not the mark of Cain to lose your patience with idiots. It's pretty human in fact, something I'd wager a lot of folks here have done in one way or another.

I agree with you in principle, but Williamson's entire public persona is that of being Better Than You.

He works for a Better Magazine Than You. He feels comfortable telling poor white people that they need to just Shut Up and Die Already.

Speaking of faux conservatives working to undermine the movement -- Lindsay Graham pulled a brilliant move today. He introduced a bill to impose a nationwide 15-week ban on abortion, despite the fact that it hasn't a snowball's chance in hell of passing a Democratically controlled Congress and Senate.

I can only surmise one reason for such a move -- to undermine the pro-Trump conservatives who are in danger of joining him in the Senate in the rapidly approaching midterm election. As a close ally of Mitch McConnell who has already expressed displeasure at their ascendancy, Graham is deliberately trying to goose Democrat turnout to help the opponents of true conservatives like Blake Masters, JD Vance and Herschel Walker. It's such a cynical move it would make Machiavelli blush.

That is the Great Outdoors. Summer Rental is a little flick kind of like Mr. Hobbs Goes to the Beach except Candy plays his harassed underdog character.

Only the Lonely is probably one of Candy's better films with Ally Sheedy and Maureen O'Hara but it is a dramedy.

They can pass laws and then the laws can be struck down. Not that it's going to pass in this case anyways. The political impact will depend on how it's perceived though, and it's not particularly radical. A bill to ban third trimester abortions would've probably been better for messaging since it'd highlight Democrats as extreme.

514 Before this thread goes away, I want to add further explanation as to why I always bring up Williamson's trouble personal life when he comes into the discussion.

This is because he did the same to Donald Trump.

Not only that, but like everyone else at NR, he implied that anyone who wasn't as repulsed as they were at Trump's *personal life* was their moral inferior.

Other than DC or territories, Congress probably does not have the constitutional power to do that as it would have to be tied to the commerce clause. Under Morrison and Lopez, at least some nexus to commerce must exist. What Congress could do though is probably forbid sale of baby parts which is probably enough to cripple Planned Parenthood's profitability. They can obviously end all federal funding of such but it is a closer call constitutionally to actually prevent doctors etc. from performing them for consenting patients.

524 I don't know anything about Fuentes, or if the description of him as a white supremacist is truthful, or the usual character assassination that is the coin of the realm in our debased culture..."

Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at September 13, 2022 05:13 PM (oINRc)

It's all true about Nick Fuentes. His hopes for a career in electoral politics ended when he did this cutesy 'baking cupcakes' analogy to the Holocaust, how there just couldn't be enough ovens for the amount of dough. He thought it was funny. It was obscene.

Fuentes is also into tranny porn & catbois (feminine gay guys who dress up as cats). His relationships with some of his followers (almost entirely young males) is questionable, at best. He has said he admires Hitler but (to be fair) he's also expressed admiration for Stalin, as well. He's surrounded by weird and shady true believers he calls his 'generals'. It goes on.

My personal theory is the reason the feds leave Fuentes and his America First group alone is partly because its existence puts proof to claims about the dreaded Rightwing menace the DoJ warns us about and partly because AF is essentially wacky and harmless.

Posted by: Red Turban Someguy
-----------------------
Realistically, because it is a criminal law, it requires 60 votes which it simply will not get anytime soon. Funding cuts are easier.

I doubt that Congress could grant citizenship that way too. States have a lot more leeway in criminal law because they retained all their police powers while Congress has to make do with the Commerce clause. If the conservative majority holds, I suspect that Raich v. Gonzalez along with Filburn v. Wickard may be other precedents on the scrap heap.

Posted by: Jen the original at September 13, 2022 06:22 PM (b7K/r)

Under the nearly unlimited reach of the Commerce Clause abortion could probably be regulated by the federal government if Congress passed a law restricting it.

The reversal of Roe happened because the original Roe decision was based on a privacy right that was "found" by SCOTUS in the Constitution itself. The logic of Roe was always pure bullshit.

Had Congress passed a law guaranteeing access to abortion on the same terms as Roe, the law would probably have been upheld, but not based on some phantom "right to privacy." If it was going to withstand a challenge to Congress' power, it would have to be based on the Commerce Clause.

Blandings is one of the few Cary Grant movies that I've seen once but don't particularly want to see again. Money Pit, I thought was dreadful.

The Jack Benny take on homes being a money sinkhole was a bit funnier with George Washington Slept Here but you have to like Jack Benny. Grant is always himself in such movies as is Jack but Grant is easier for most people today to watch than Benny.

Love Molly but she's wrong here. If your goal was to force the Democrats to defend their extremism, you'd introduce a bill to ban third-trimester abortions. While polls show a majority support bans above 15 weeks, it's not as clear-cut as banning abortions above, say, 24 weeks, which is nearly universally supported.

When you're trying to demonstrate the other side's extremism, you pick something truly extreme that they support. Banning eighth-month abortions would be even better. Watch Democrats squirm as they defend those.
