Theodore Roosevelt; The Bull Moose vs. The New Plutocracy
This article explores how Theodore Roosevelt would likely respond to modern political developments such as the Citizens United ruling and the rise of Neoreactionary ideologies. The author argues that Roosevelt would view unlimited corporate political spending as a corrupting force that transforms the government into a servant of the wealthy. Furthermore, the source suggests that the "Bull Moose" president would vehemently reject the Dark Enlightenment for its anti-democratic desire to replace elected leadership with corporate monarchs. According to the analysis, Roosevelt would categorize these trends as cowardly retreats from the responsibilities of active citizenship and the "strenuous life."
