About this site

The Higher Ground is an independent publication launched in the year of our Lord 2023 by Damian Faust. You guessed it, that's a Nom de Plume! You clever little newsletter reader you! This grants me the freedom to write what I like while cowardly hiding behind a thin veneer of anonymity. Joys of the digital age!

The mission of this digital rag can be encapsulated thusly: Better politics & culture in the 21st century through the best ideas. A humble nobles oblige indeed.
