I started a Substack! For now, it's housing some of my recent writing and presentations. But soon I'll be writing some new articles for the page. Subscribe if you like! My introductory post, explaining what I intend to do with the space, is linked in the post below this one.

Israel's air and ground operations in Lebanon have hit UNESCO-listed Roman ruins in Tyre, pummeled the Mamluk-era market in Nabatieh and razed centuries-old towns along the southern border https://t.co/cVMpPSom1E

The historic Workingmen’s Club being turned into a public relations office is a little too on the nose, even for late capitalism

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

@NicolasDVillar1 @TuttReal Indeed. I think that it actually inherent in populist theory itself, as I wrote here

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

@AmericanAir Yes DM me

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

@TuttReal Never been there! Thanks for putting me on 👀 I’ll check that out asap when I’m back in DC

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

@OsitaNwanevu Be nice to Jean

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

@TuttReal @TheRealVarnVlog Well yes, truly the only unfortunate part is missing this event 😂 there’s still snow out here on the Mission Mountains btw!

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

@TuttReal @TheRealVarnVlog No I’m spending basically the whole summer in Montana this year I won’t be back until August 9th. Really unfortunate

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

It’s kind of incredible how wrong and downright ideological much of this looks in retrospect. But it was so pervasive until only a few years ago

[Hughes-on-the-Wold @NotThatHughes]

'lower-value human capital'

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

I've just posted a new article on my Substack, a critical review and symptomatic reading of the French populist intellectual Jean-Claude Michéa. Give it a read! https://t.co/uhu3QoCLIn

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

@RajuJDas Is this quote from the new book?

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

@dai_alectic @VersoBooks @reformparty_uk I'll look forward to reading this!

[Aaron Irion @aaririon]

@besttrousers @AlcazarViala They are philosophical concepts, not literal invocations. Less charts, more Nietzsche, my friend!
