Palladium magazine was founded by Wolf Tivy and Jonah Bennett. It is funded by Peter Thiel. Jonah Bennett previously worked at The Daily Caller and he resigned from Palladium when it was discovered he had authored some racist messages and was friends with various white nationalists.
Palladium skews towards genteel neoreactionarism. It won't be as overtly racist as moldbug's website. Its authors will use big words, write fine sentences, and have some academic credentials (though tend to be outside the mainstream). There's an obsession with planned economies and China, a mixture of anxiety that the US remain dominant with a certain longing for China's policies, and an inability to see those two things can never be consistent.

- speed_spread 3y ago1) That's my line. 2) OP's comment is what I come here for.
- cobertos 3y agoWhat is meant by this? Is the parent comment not on topic or useful? Because I'm failing to see why
- alisonatwork 3y agoThanks for this comment. It's been a strange journey for me following this magazine, where at first it seemed like they were writing about topics that other western media were not, but eventually it became dominated by well-worn talking points of the American right. Or perhaps the American right shifted in the direction of this magazine? Either way, it all started to feel a bit tedious so I gave up.
- 15457345234 3y agoTheir article 'Complex systems won't survive the competence crisis' was an interesting read and made some good points, it appeared that they were approaching the issue from a perspective of troubleshooting and rectification, i.e. genuine governance. Other articles give the impression that they're more into the 'nuclear lifeboat'/'galt's gulch' strategy and give off sinister vibes. I personally wouldn't use the word 'cryptofascist' but others might. Like you I have the same conclusion... interesting at first, gets alarming & repetitive.
- walterbell 3y agoAny recommendations for publications which cover similar topics?
- 15457345234 3y agoI can't think of any other magazines that are likely to host articles such as ' “The Universe Wants Us to Take Her Clothes Off” With Grimes ' sorry

- 15457345234 3y agoI think for intellectual commentary from the US perspective you can try The Atlantic & The New Yorker, there's another similar one but I forget the name. For slightly less commentary and more facts The Economist is good, that's from a UK perspective. If you're Australian, Quillette is the only one I know

- ilaksh 3y agoWhat publication do you recommend instead?
- jonstewart 3y agoThe New Yorker The Atlantic Harper’s Bazaar The Economist Foreign Policy Foreign Affairs The New Republic The Paris Review The New Criterion
- 15457345234 3y agoReally good list, very comprehensive. Can thoroughly recommend all of those and you've got a good mixture of art/culture and news/current affairs.

- webdoodle 3y ago> It is funded by Peter Thiel. Underrated comment. Always follow the money. If Thiel is funding it, it's to further his feudalism agenda. Not that it isn't worth a read, but with truck load of salt.
