He was concise and trenchant. Highly recommended.

No thanks, I'll read Mailer instead.

I'm reading his comments on the national security state right now, he's a retarded schizo.
Is his fiction any good?

Why do you call it schizo?

The City and the Pillar was good. His historical fiction was okay. Myra Breckenridge was one of the most abhorrent pieces of trash I've ever read. After that I'm wary of touching another of his works.

None of these people will be remembered in 50 years. They were pointless American attention-whores, the equivalent of shit-for-brains internet celebrities like videogamedunkey, gametheory, the game grumps, etc.
Nothing any of them wrote is worth reading and their works will be out of print as soon as the last boomer/boomer-suckup is dead.
The time you spent thinking about them was wasted.

People only really start talking about Buckley and Vidal here after their Documentary, Best of Enemies was on Netflix. I knew Vidal and Mailer before I even found this place. I have never known anyone who unironically reads Buckley.

Vidal fans consist of:
- Middle-aged heterosexuals who wish they were bisexual
- post-wall millennial females like butterfly who masturbate to Burr

Buckley is pompous as fuck, but he fought actual Nazis in WWII Vidal is a pygmy in comparison.

Nazis aren't based. What's based about being an autistic pagan LARPer obsessed with an imaginary past? What's based about forever tainting the very idea of European nationhood?

I have no reason to believe that paganism was a significant element of Nazism outside of some leading figures' personal lives. The idea of European nationhood was tainted by the people who defeated the Germans, not the Germans themselves.
