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 …

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.2 replies 0 retweets 16 likes -

75 years of historical commentary suggests that the Nazis were right wing. This is not remotely controversial.

Not among historians and political scientists, anyway. Among political hacks trying to redefine well-established terms in order to promote a revisionist history more palatable to their ideology...well, they sure do try to create a manufactroversy.
