Perhaps for more niche audiences uneasy about the eventual effects of
modernism a l'outrance, but:

Kunstler: http://kunstler.com/blog/2012/07/hostage-racket.html Small
is beautiful because society is going to hell and small will shortly
be all we have left. Writing style makes BSNYC sound like Jane Austen
-- tho' today's post is very muted.

Dalrymple: http://www.newenglishreview.org/custpage.cfm/frm/117524/sec_id/117524
A High Anglican sort of Tory who is a non-believer who has very
eloquently described the moral and social decay among the British
caused by modern values and policies (he is a retired prison
psychiatrist_.

Bike content: Kunstler is a cyclist; Dalrymple isn't AFAIK but he
writes better and is more sane than Peter Hitchens, who is. Dreher ---
well, ....

Patrick Moore, who does ride his bike when not reading blogs.

I've found Kunstler to be retreading the same schtick for the last
7yrs or so. It's not that he's entirely wrong - I just think his
timeline from the long emergency is compressed by a lot. Reading his
work you'd think the collapse of civilization was a movie-plot
duration rather than a more glacial pace. And with the same thing
coming out over and over again it gets a bit repetitive to read.

I like JHK's commentary on urbanism and the American civic landscape - which he often rides his bike through - a lot, but I too get bored with his "The End is Nigh!" sandwich-boarding that has been going on for at least 13 years by my count - he was big on the Y2K computer catastrophe back in the day.

Don't tell him about the leap second issues from this weekend or the 2038 bug :)
