Liberalism (classical): Free speech, protections for dissidents, limits on state power, property rights Does this sound like the ruling ideology we’re up against? Just call it leftism or globalism! Liberalism isn’t perfect, but pretending our elites are…
To be clear, what passes for liberalism today on the left is bad. It's okay to call these people liberals. The issue is acting as if there is one big Liberalism™ that includes classical liberalism, libertarianism, progressivism, wokeness, socialism, etc. These various ideologies are related in some ways, sure, but calling everything you dislike liberalism doesn't help you understand the world.

Common Good Conservatism
Is there one common good? Should the state be used to enforce morality?

Joe Rogan is either going to capitulate or suffer deplatforming. The regime won’t tolerate this level of wrongthink occurring on such a big platform for much longer.

I think Burnham was ultimately wrong about the managerial revolution. A central claim he makes is that such a revolution would entail increased state ownership of industry. He was writing in the 40s so this made sense at the time.
What we see now is that globalism doesn’t involve state ownership of industry, but rather an increasingly powerful and invasive state dictating the parameters within which industry—and human life in general—can operate.

Burnham differentiates between managers (those who oversee production) and political bureaucrats (those who oversee governance). Yet I see people conflating the two all the time. If anything we’ve had a revolution of the latter, not the former.

With that said, The Managerial Revolution is an insightful book, even if it doesn’t hold up 100%. It’s definitely worth engaging with.
