While most mocked “the elites,” Hanson dissected their ideology. He saw a ruling class detached from consequence, yet obsessed with control.
He linked academia, media, and bureaucracy into one bloated organism. An unelected network shaping thought, policy, and punishment.
His critics called him alarmist—but his accuracy made them nervous. He wasn’t peddling conspiracy. He was documenting reality.
Hanson’s essays connected culture to economics, language to liberty. He made the case that moral decay leads to financial ruin.
He didn’t just blame the left. He warned of the cowardice on the right. Principles weren’t abandoned overnight—they were sold, slowly.
While others debated polls, Hanson asked deeper questions. What happens when a country forgets why it exists?
