Kevin Williamson is a man of mystery: he’s an “Eisenhower libertarian,” he’s been accused of being a D.C. insider (he lives in Texas), and (most famously) he’s a former staff writer for The Atlantic even though they only gave him one byline before firing him. Life in Kevin’s Fortress of Solitude has stayed mostly the same - even in the midst of a pandemic. Lucky for us, that means he had time to talk to Jonah about his unique political perspective, the role of government in a crisis, and how his “libertoid” opinions help him solve those mysteries of his.Show Notes:-Kevin’s latest book, The Smallest Minority-Kevin’s upcoming essay collection, Big White Ghetto-The (massively underrated) Tyranny of Cliches-Suicide of the West (now out in paperback!)-Adhocracy, a favorite term of Jonah and Kevin’s-Kevin’s The End is Near-Kevin’s claim to being an “Eisenhower libertarian”-Douglass North’s impenetrably brilliant Violence and Social Orders-Obama’s second inaugural: “preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action.”-The unfortunately-named philosophical paradox, “Buridan’s Ass”-Cleta Mitchell, releasing works for consumption by the populist masses-Kevin’s The Case Against Trump-$25 credit from SaneBox
