"this guy is just saying obviously true things" wait thats what if thats good i think i prefer it to things that are obviously not true or devoid of content you know?
-
i wholeheartedly agree re the merit of saying obviously true things the criticism the article levels is that the obviously true things he says are delivered along with a load of gobbledegook, which stuns people into thinking he is smarter than he is. (cont'd)
-
but like ok that's also a criticism that you can make (and jbp makes) of the pomo left, he's the enemy they deserve
-
huh? he's an enemy? ppl on the far right seem to hate jbp more for *not* hating jews than ppl on the left hate him for occasionally saying dumb things
-
i think there r interesting convos to be had about his relation to the (alt?) far right (imo he's politically quite moderate so it makes sense that they'd hate him) but this article doesn't touch on that, it's more about how he is received by the mainstream
-
that's because he's willing to associate with dipshits like crowder and molyneux and loves attention, neither of which are good his politics and philosophy are actually pretty boring (which isn't a criticism)
