Part 10/15:
The Danger of Reaction and the Need for Constructive Alternatives
Clavin warns against reactionary "fash" (reactionary fascism-like movements) that exploit fears and provocative language to gain followers. Instead, he calls for developing constructive, virtue-based, civil alternatives that are robust enough to challenge liberal mediocrity without veering into extremism. This involves engaging contemporary issues—family, faith, culture—with moral clarity, rooted in tradition but open to renewal.
