In general your writing is excellent, and your exegesis of the Vikings/ The Labyrinth was brilliant( I use these essays as wedges to crack the ice within the minds of some my more leftish acquaintances). Likewise your 9 hero’s presents a compelling vision for masculine aspiration and achievement.
However, this essay is brutally parochial, and focused a well hewn farrow. While heaping obloquy, on easy targets, these “sunfish” posts merely confirm the suspicion that the intellectual heft of the right is an melange of cloutbulance chasing lulzmemes where the highest acclaim is “sick burn” or another such base goal.
More cogent heft, less pwnage .
Thank you for your attention to this matter,
Signed,
