    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Michael Shermer

    Sadly, Mr. Shermer is the only one embarrassing himself today. He's someone who used to write great stuff refuting the pseudohistory of Holocaust denial but now parrots Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" pseudohistory that the Nazis were leftwing socialists rather than fascists.https://twitter.com/michaelshermer/status/1145480682174500864 …

    He @MrAndyNgo writes for the Wall Street Journal, @Quillette and other publications reporting on violence committed in the name of social justice, which is neither. That makes him a journalist. You’re embarrassing yourself today. You used to do good work. SJWs ruined your brain. https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1145454791281262593 …

        Indeed, @michaelshermer used to do good work, but the IDW and alt right appear to have ruined his brain. He might not believe this, but it really does sadden me. His books "Why People Believe Weird Things" and "Denying History" were major influences on my early time as a skeptic

        I think someone’s a little bitter that people have heard of Andy and Jonah.

        Shermer was one of the guys I read when I became an atheist. Now I’ve seen he’s become a piece of crap as well as a sexagesimal assaulter.

        Yes, @michaelshermer was one of the first guys I read when I started to gravitate towards the skeptic movement. It really saddens me to see him the way he is now.

        Replying to @gorskon

        I have no problem calling him a journalist is he has bylines and was attending in that capacity, even as a blogger. But the SJW attack is lazy and dishonest and unproductive. Also what does he have against a just society? smh

        Also notice how @MichaelShermer only addressed the claim about Ngo and totally ignored his being called out for regurgitating Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism" pseudohistory that the Nazis were far left wing socialists. He can't refute that. He should be embarrassed by that.

        What in his tweet claimed Nazis were left wing? And why would you need them to be in order to criticize violence on the extreme left when we have Russia and China in the 20th century as perfect examples?

        You brought the kooks out here. Nazis devoted all resources to the military, hated minorities, immigrants, and gay people, didn’t give a shit about the environment, workplace safety, consumer protection or civil rights, and called the media fake news. Sounds just like the left?

        I respect your SBM blogs a lot. But you are far off the mark here and trying to double down instead of engage @michaelshermer in a more constructive way. You are better than this.
