American Renaissance was reimbursed nearly $50,000 in attorney’s fees after the state of Tennessee attempted to charge the organization for security for its 2019 conference.
It’s worth noting that, were it not for the presence of violent antifa terrorists, AmRen wouldn’t need security. In light of this, it would be absurd to expect Jared Taylor to foot the bill!

Look at that—my account was suspended within hours of Jared Holt tweeting about me. Funny how that works.

Wagner is capeshit, the musical equivalent of Marvel movies. "Pow! Pow! My hero!"—boring! Baroque music is far more complex and interesting than that of the Romantic era.

Sure, but that transition—the shift away from counterpoint in particular—continued into the Romnatic period; though, to be fair, there are exceptions, e.g. your precious Wagner.

This screenshot doesn’t support the claim you made. It deals with the Classical; your claim was about the Romantic.

Bach is sublime; irreplaceable. But you could dispose of all of Albinoni for a single Shostakovich or Mahler symphony—even a gay old Rachmaninov piano concerto.

I was whisked off to celestial pastures by Albinoni's oboe concertos, it's true.

Happy to debate Romantic supremacy any time, but my interlocutor appears to have dropped off. Perhaps he was sent to sleep by one of those dreary oboe concertos. I’ll post some better listening suggestions soon!

In my case, my foray into classical music—and I make no claim of being an expert—began with the Romantic era. I've recently begun to appreciate Baroque more, though. In all seriousness, I can't say I have a preference between the two—apples and oranges, as far as I'm concerned.

One last point—Romantic music is the only proper soundtrack to the trad life. It’s all about the wonders and mysteries of nature and man’s yearning for the supernatural and the ineffable. What better musical accompaniment to a young movement rediscovering the glory of God? The way Christianity so often works is reflected perfectly in Romantic preoccupations and styles: The mundane, dissolving into the sublime. Plus, of course, most of the best composers were batty nationalists.
People who never graduate from baroque music tend to have no imagination—and no soul.

What's that? I think I heard some clanking from the Wagnerian dungeon in which Milo is serving a self-imposed sentence.

Just finished a presentation on immigration that I get to present tomorrow. Thanks Vince, your vids are filled with sources so I didn't have to look too hard. 🤫
