    I’d never heard William F Buckley say he disagrees with civil disobedience before.
    Obviously, I’m no Buckley scholar, but I know he was a conservative thought leader of sorts.
    To me, civil disobedience is a weird thing for an American to disagree with.
    Most of what I’ve heard him say was reasonable relative to conservatism of that time, but disagreeing with civil disobedience seems authoritarian.

    • @roughhabit9085

      @@roughhabit9085 I’m not dumbfounded about anything.
      The fact that anyone in mainstream politics in the second half of the 20th century in America would say they don’t believe in civil disobedience disappoints me.
      I guess there are two types of disobedience: civil disobedience and uncivil disobedience. So if you don’t believe in civil disobedience, you either prefer uncivil disobedience or you don’t believe in disobedience at all.
      One of those sounds like an anarchist view and the other an authoritarian view.
      From what I’ve seen and heard of Buckley up to this point, I had him pegged as neither anarchist nor authoritarian.

      Well Thoreau wrote the book on civil disobedience and I don’t recall him advocating rioting.
      Buckley said the same thing to Galbraith with the caveat except when somebody gets in the way of my rights to conscience.
      Buckley was not anybody in politics. Kissinger said he single handedly shifted American politics to the right. He was no disappointment to me .
      Dumbfounded may have been the wrong word. I should have said ignorant.

      Me too! And my mother adored him because of his language. But then I grew up and realized that he was just a tutti frutti pompous ass, whose primary act was talking down his nose at everybody, -a total poseur with nothing much to say, but with a very Grand way of saying it. But you've got to love his diction and vocabulary! It's amazing how mediocrity is perceived as superiority when delivered with ruling-class diction & manner, with above average eloquence. It took me a long time to learn that intelligence is not tied to eloquence. It is a skill that almost anybody can learn.
      Did anybody else notice that in his small defeat, he instantly assumed that irritating half-grin of his, as if he was celebrating a small, secret victory? I'm guessing that many bedazzled people would score that as a victory.
      He really should be celebrated as a master of grammatically correct gibberish, delivered with utmost panache.
      But I don't know him well enough to be absolutely sure that he deserves his reputation as a pseudo-intellectual. But really: "Where's the beef⁉️"
      About this video? 6 minutes? What total garbage. Perhaps the full interview will be chopped up in little pieces and served to us as clickbait, each little piece full of advertisements? Who's buying?
