Nobody will pay $100 a year to listen to somebody wonk it out, but they will pay for a smarmy blowhard to tel them why they already believe. Exactly! To say otherwise is truly ignorant.

I appreciate the Shapiro link. When I got to this part: Quote I’ll admit that I was not immediately dazzled by the force of Shapiro’s intellect. I started with his controversial recent Berkeley speech. Toward the beginning, he addressed Antifa protesters, whom he called “communist pieces of garbage”: “You guys are so stupid… you can all go to hell, you pathetic, lying, stupid jackasses.” According to the Times, there is a wide gulf between Trump/Yiannopoulos-style vulgar conservatism and Shapiro-style Logical conservatism, but I just am not sure that I see in “Go to hell, you communist piece of garbage” the kind of “polemical brilliance” that Shapiro is reputed to demonstrate. The rest of the speech, when it got beyond making Botox jokes about Nancy Pelosi, was strong on insults (“pusillanimous cowards,” “hard-Left morons,” “uncivilized barbarians”) and light on actual argumentation and substantive factual claims. Shapiro did say that the alt-right are full of “bullshit” and that the left overstates the threat posed by Shapiro’s speeches. (Both true.) The main thrust of the speech, though, is that America is the greatest country in the world, that there are no real injustices facing black people, women, and poor people, and that if you don’t do well economically here it’s entirely your fault. I lol'd at "pusillanimous cowards." I remember learing that adjective while studying for the SATs like a true intellectual. I always thought pusillanimous meant you were a coward. Shapiro strikes me as the flight attendants George Carlin complained about who say "boarding process." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser_Soze Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 6 hours ago, marioandsonic said: Generation Identity? Quote The identitarian movement or identitarianism is a European and North American far-right and white nationalist movement that originated in France. The identitarians began as a youth movement, with their name derived from the French Nouvelle Droite Génération Identitaire, and the anti-Zionist and National Bolshevik Unité Radicale. Although initially the youth wing of the anti-immigration and nativist Bloc Identitaire, it has taken on its own identity and is largely classified as a separate entity altogether.
