In 2019, conservative intellectual Michael Anton reviewed "Bronze Age Mindset" for the "Claremont Review of Books" in a friendly yet critical manner, thus exposing a more mainstream right wing audience to the thought of BAP. Anton claims that the book is successful and popular among right wing youths "because it appeals to the young; it appeals to the young in part because it’s outrageous" and its outrageousness makes the book, its author and its readers controversial as "it opens not just the author but his readers to “attaq.”" "Bronze Age Mindset" was first given to Anton by Curtis Yarvin, a major figure in the neoreactionary movement, and political philosopher Darren Beattie encouraged Anton to read it. According to Anton, as well as Aaron Renn, the key philosophical concept BAP develops in the book is that of 'owned space'. Anton paraphrases BAP's view of 'space' as being 'owned when it is mastered or controlled. This can either be accomplished by you—or your herd or pride or clan or tribe or nation—or by others." Renn clarifies further that "if you don’t have owned space, if you live or build on space owned by others, then you are putting yourself in a highly disadvantageous and vulnerable position, subject to cultural eviction and spiritual homelessness." The Straussian Claremont Institute subsequently published a symposium on the review in their online publication "The American Mind", including a response essay from BAP in which he compared "the anti-male and anti-white rhetoric of the new left" to anti-Tutsi propaganda before the Rwandan genocide. In the same symposium, Anton responded to BAP's response by reiterating his concern about the 'BAPist' wholesale rejection of the equality principle of the American Founding and the philosophical and practical consequences of said rejection.
