I don’t know much about this couple or this magazine, but their lifestyle is pretty contradictory. On the one hand they acknowledge status hierarchies, but it seems to me the husband got lucky by being the son of a really rich guy, and the wife married into that family.
I definitely don’t support the identity politics of the left, and the fact they won’t acknowledge that some things/people are ugly, but it just seems to me like people are pissed off at the fact that these people come across is so accomplished, when in reality it stands on the backbone of second generation wealth.
I had no idea Evie existed. I’m glad we have an alternative to mainstream magazines. I personally gave up on magazines years ago. Fake feminist propaganda with completely fake stories about older career women living these grand lives in their late 30s and 40s.
I might give it a try or at least offer it to young ones. Far left propaganda can only exist if every alternative is destroyed. We need more honest media and I would love a world where no views go unchecked openly so we can all decide.
While I wasnt against the dress (when I still used twitter), i certainly rolled my eyes/scoffed at it. Guys, particularly male-brained ones like myself have a hard time seeing the utility in things like evie. Good read
"Left-wing ideology seeks to destroy traditional hierarchies because their existence poses an issue for egalitarianism and equity. They want no hierarchies to preserve the primacy of inclusivity because a hierarchy necessitates exclusion."
I would argue that the left are actually far more invested in hierarchies, and their hierarchies are far more rigid and (most importantly) tend to be enforced by the state (men with guns), rather than based on competition in a free market.
In effect, the left are invested in the harem model which is an ancient hierarchy system. Instead of forming individual family tribes which operate as businesses, with husband and wife performing a similar division of labour that we see in a typical business (eg admin / sales), the left have chosen to marry the state instead (and increasingly corporations that are partnered with the state).
The eternal challenge for the left is to maintain the moral high ground when they are actually the ones who are demanding the most violent and coercive hierarchies. Their hierarchies require the redistribution of everyone else's property/ earnings by force - mostly to provide free stuff and special services for leftists (with the state siphoning off much of it to fund wars, more government programs, surveillance infrastructure etc)
In order to justify their more violent and coercive hierarchy the left must always play the poor, innocent, helpless victim and portray the right (the people transacting without coercion in a free market who want to shrink government and corporate power) as the villains ('far right', 'fascists' etc).
It's all projection. It's all optics.
Woke ideology steps it up a notch by borrowing various injustices from the past (whether real, made up or exaggerated) and wearing them like a ball gown in order to appropriate the victimhood from the past and use it as currency in the present AKA another tool to morally dominate the right, to justify taking their resources by force.
Ballerina Farm is a grotesque display of wealth and LARPing at traditionalism. They provoke jealousy, and not empathy. This is why the left have latched onto them. Leftists have a long (and genocidal) history of provoking class warfare against successful / competent people in order to wipe them out, steal their stuff and morally dominate them. The first step is always to erase empathy for them. The smugness and vanity of Ballerina Farm makes it easy for the left to erase empathy for them (and by extension all conservative/ traditionalist folk) and to provoke a sense of jealousy and social injustice.
When enough empathy has been erased, enough outrage and jealousy has been provoked, enough of a sense of social injustice has been created, and when living standards for most people drop below a certain threshold, the end result is usually some kind of blood bath.
Part of authentic traditionalism is not flaunting your success or competence, no matter how much your ego and vanity compels you to.
- I just have to say that Mormonism is not part of Christianity as Mormons do not believe in the Trinity and have beliefs that other Christians deem to be heretical.

They’ve done a lot with their brand. I wouldn’t say it’s all been because of Daniel’s father. They’re a really talented couple.
Evie’s nonreligious conservatism is a good thing imo as the two don’t need to be intertwined
It makes me laugh that people call it a Christian magazine…
Like, have you ever READ a Christian magazine? It’s completely different!

Great read as always.

We need better pop culture for women. I don’t agree with Evie 100% of the time, but sometimes I just need the girly banter. ✨
I’m glad they’re available to me.

- Big supporter of all trads
- Big supporter of Hannah Neelman

I mean you can play the game with Protestants too who are basically Nestorians
Thank you so much for reading Angela!
