NRP Radio: Orientalizing the South (ep. 36 with Christopher Sandbatch)
From New Right Poast Radio by Dudley Newright

About this episode
The episode discusses the unique cultural dynamics of America's southern universities and the reasons behind students' migration from prestigious Northeastern schools.
America’s southern universities are booming, and Helen Andrews thinks students are fleeing prestigious Northeastern American schools to escape immigrant striver culture. Scott Greer thinks they’re escaping woke. Christopher Sandbatch wrote our award-winning piece this week, with a structural analysis that goes deeper than both of these interpretations. In this episode we discuss what makes “The South” so special, and how we should be encouraging sensitive young men to revive their own region's distinctiveness rather than glomming onto the SEC’s magical vibes. Mentioned: * The Old Glory Club * Natasha Burge essay on Jack Kerouac’s Catholocism * Devon Eriksen ’s thread on John Cleese * Helen Andrews’ thread on immigrant stiver culture infecting U.S. prestige schools * Scott Greer essay arguing that it’s not the immigrant worker bees, it’s the libtards * Christopher’s essay The South and the SEC as Spectacle Get full access to New Right Poast at newrightpoast.substack.com/subscribe
