Victor Davis Hanson social and historical commentary
Overview
Victor Davis Hanson has published commentary comparing contemporary Western society to the medieval era. In his essay ‘Progressive Regression and the New Medievalism’, Hanson draws parallels between the modern West and the medieval period, citing characteristics such as violent crime, poor sanitation, and disease.
Expanding on this historical comparison, Hanson describes the current era as a ‘modern medieval world’ defined by a societal split between rapid progress and regression toward post-Roman conditions. He further applies these themes to domestic policy, arguing that sanctuary cities are unconstitutional and suggesting that conservative movements could utilize similar states’ rights arguments to challenge federal mandates.
