Auron MacIntyre: podcast appearances and interviews

Auron MacIntyre is an American podcast host and author affiliated with Blaze News. He is known for promoting paleoconservative political thought, influenced by figures such as Carl Schmitt, Vilfredo Pareto, and Paul Gottfried. MacIntyre has written a book titled The Total State: How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies, published in 2024. He hosts a podcast that has achieved recognition, ranking tenth on Google's list of top podcasts and gathering 269,000 views within 16 hours of publication. MacIntyre has appeared on The Tucker Carlson Show, discussing topics related to American empire and political stability.

His commentary often reflects frustrations with lockdowns and church closures, which led him to explore neo-reactionary philosophy through figures like Curtis Yarvin. MacIntyre describes this discovery as an awakening that introduced him to other right-leaning thinkers such as Sam Francis and Pat Buchanan. His political views have been characterized as 'New Right' and 'Postliberal', aligning broadly with Yarvin's 'Dark Enlightenment' movement. In 2025, Reason Magazine questioned some of MacIntyre's claims, noting inconsistencies regarding Yarvin’s stance on lockdowns and MacIntyre’s social media activity from 2020.
