    Michael Shermer Retweeted David Gorski, MD, PhD

    Wrong @gorskon Not Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism but Steve Pinker's Enlightenment Now. It's US liberals who supported eugenics, forced sterilization & murderous dictators, thoroughly documented by Pinker whose liberal bonafides are rock solid—since that seems to matter to you.https://twitter.com/gorskon/status/1145485838425477120 …

    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 …

        As a guy who liked some of your early books, I got to advise you to stop writing about history like this. You're really not very good at it.

        I once respected you. You clearly can't admit a factual mistake that you've repeated uncritically after being corrected by actual historians. I hear smart people are really good at convincing themselves of falsehoods. Be better.

        I, too, once respected Mr. Shermer. However, anyone who can parrot the bullshit pseudohistory that Nazis were left wing socialists has forfeited my respect forever.

        How were they not sociolist? Sure they weren't the Marxist brand of sociolism, but the collective ownership of labor and heavy involvement of Government in the economy was part of Nazi ideology. Here's an excerpt from Wikipedia.pic.twitter.com/6ufTScfWbR
