But that's just more ad hominem. Who says this article's point is that no one should read the Mandate for Leadership? Where did I say or imply that? I relied on a Forbes summary because I'm not interested enough in grotesque medievalism to read 900 pages of such prejudices. But I never said that no one should read it.

I can understand why a conservative would be offended by these criticisms. But if you want to support medievalism in the modern world, you'd better have more solid lines of defense than just resorting to slander.

Contrary to your allegation that I'm close-minded, I criticize liberalism and "progressive wokeness" too. For instance, I call liberalism tragically heroic at best, and I call the politically correct form of liberalism decadent.
