1. Rony Guldmann writes about conservatives feeling like they’re being culturally oppressed<\/a>. I\u2019m like, finally, someone wrote a scholarly defense of my last 12 livestreams.<\/p>\n

2. Reading this book felt like reading my own diary\u2014if my diary had footnotes, more Jews, and fewer complaints about how shiksas ruin your hashkafah.<\/p>\n

3. Guldmann says conservatives are treated like deviants in elite institutions. Mate, I converted to Orthodox Judaism and tried dating in Pico-Robertson. I know exactly what it feels like to be the unclean thing that defiles polite company.<\/p>\n

4. He calls it \u201csoft persecution.\u201d I call it \u201cevery time I mention immigration on a livestream and lose 12 subscribers.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. The book is like Isaiah 43 meets campus Title IX. \u201cYou are my witnesses, saith the Lord\u2026 also, please submit your bias incident report by Friday.\u201d<\/p>\n

6. Guldmann’s big idea is that conservatives are the new counterculture. I\u2019ve been saying this for years\u2014mainly to my Uber driver, who gave me one star and reported me for emotional oversharing.<\/p>\n

7. He says left-wing norms function like an established church. Which makes me what? A crypto-Baptist hiding out in Yeshiva World, dodging heresy trials over my fondness for Chesterton?<\/p>\n

8. It\u2019s comforting to know that when I got cancelled for quoting Enoch Powell in a panel about \u201cemotional safety,\u201d I was just a minor prophet in the Guldmann canon.<\/p>\n

9. Sometimes I wonder if I\u2019m crazy. Then I read Guldmann and realize\u2014no, I\u2019m just traditional. I\u2019m like a moral time capsule, waiting to be cracked open by some future civilization that still believes in God, borders, and bras.<\/p>\n

10. Guldmann\u2019s conservatives are accused of \u201cmaking everyone uncomfortable.\u201d Mate, discomfort is my love language. It\u2019s my brand. My livestreams are like Yom Kippur sermons delivered by a horny Jeremiah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
