I believe a good part of this "slop tier list" nonsense is generated purely by the lowbrow section attracted to the right simply due to edge and empty reactionary sentiment. They don't care to explore Evola and figure things out, they want to get the correct "take" to parrot.
Similarly, they don't care about food quality, for that matter most can't cook to save their lives. They just use it as a moronic way to go to bat for their chosen identity, whether it be "medchad", "wholesome AMERICAN protestant" or what have you.
I'm not British, but I once had the occasion to hear one of these types rant about how "bri'ish" blood pudding is disgusting. I then served him my own countries' blood sausage variation a few hours later, and he allegedly loved it. Go figure
I don’t think she’s anything (RW or LW) , but just a good, new wave writer that is considered a must-read by the democrat and other variants of left-wing that populate the literate ‘cultured’ class
She definitely became more of a normie Dem as she aged and moved to New York, but early Didion was pretty reactionary. Her grandparents were in the John Birch Society, she wrote for National Review and voted for Goldwater in '64. 'On the Women's Movement' cannot be read as being anything else than right-wing.
Thanks for that, I suppose this reference of mine was very much limited to 20-something yos, which are either not familiar with her earlier stuff or are LWs desperately trying to convince themselves that their favourite new-wave writer is not an ‘evil’ RWer, i.e. you see a similarly schizophrenic attitude in JK Rowling’s fans who are torn between liking HP and supporting trans rights
Re drinking culture - my Canadian cousin informed me yesterday that one of his friends calls Guinness "driving beer" because it has a low alcohol content compared to Canadian brews. Haven't researched relative alcohol contents as I don't want to find out it isn't true - I like the idea of 'driving beer'. However, I'm not sure why I felt slightly affronted that Canadians think that English / Irish beer is weak. Guinness isn't protestant anyway...
Most National Cuisine's are actually peasant food, evolved over centuries made from local ingredients.
In Britain, as the first industrial nation, our peasantry was largely dispersed into industrial towns and fed on imported wheat, sugar and tea. Our cooking and food culture largely lost.A search through old recipe books reveals a lost national cuisine equal in quality and variety to anything else in Europe or the world.

I genuinely have nothing else to add, this comment expressed everything I wanted to say. Glad someone else feels the same annoyances as I…
There's no right-wing equivalent of Joan Didion, she's already right-wing!

This mention was not meant in anyway as a slight towards to her work

> Guinness isn't protestant anyway...
Interestingly, the Guinness family themselves were quite prominent Protestants—Church of Ireland, even.
Oh, how funny! That's an interesting fact...
