I like the concept of james, but the implementation leaves something to be desired.

james has gotten progressively more unhinged as time went on. he used to be an annoying bret weinstein type leftist skeptic, but now he's basically the alex jones of humanities.

Old but I was reading Reddit about Marianne Williamson educating Dave Rubin on his own show :

Oh wow I didn't know Rubin started on The Young Turks :lol
And apparently shat in them publicly the minute he wasn't there anymore, according to Kasparian, after being all smiles while there (though definitely ambitious and driven by the search of fame and fortune).

Can definitely imagine Rubin's next book Radicalised: How I, an Intellectual, got Sucked in to the Right Wing which presumably neither of the Don't Burn this Book readers will buy

I guess there's at least one prominent right wing libertarian to actually be consistent, stand firm on principle and not immediately flip flop when it's non-whites involved.

Curious to see if Alex Jones, who loves the Bundy, is going to just ignore it or unleash on the guy.

If you backed into power after the 1848 conservative order self-immolated for no real reason in a World War you wouldn't trouble yourself with new horizons in theory and praxis either tbh.

i'll admit, my memory's a bit hazy cause i didn't pay that much attention back in those days to politics, but did people make a big stink out of tebow doing that? i pretty much all but ignored it because it didn't seem like he was doing anything dickish like kneeling to criminalize gay marriage or whatever.

Absolutely not!

He got multiple chances in the NFL, a broadcast job, a vanity minor league baseball career, etc. He's been treated like the popular celebrity he is rather than a pariah.

I think it was just the NFL being typically letter-of-the-law about personalizing uniforms. This was several years before they started doing the pink ribbon stuff for breast cancer or the charities on cleats thing.

iirc when Sean Taylor was murdered players were given special dispensation to honor him with a helmet number decal at their discretion after the week in which every team did it. That's what Jake had requested and was denied.

Taylor died a few years after Tillman and Goodell had replaced Tagliabue in the meantime, so that could be a factor.

I don't get Dave Rubin's turn or evolution of whatever you want to call it. Dude knows he's a grifter. But being another reactionary conservative voice is a really crowded field.

I think the slope is more slippery than it appears.
You see it with Alex Jones who cannot leave the Trump train and has been forced to strip down all the sugarcoating and libertarian pretense to his core racism and bigotry. It's more truthful, certainly, but obviously a less comfortable position than the "apolitical, both sides, impartial" perch that Jones, and on another manner Rubin, acted like they were on. They very deliberately cultivated a certain audience (+ spicy relationships) and are now forced to follow it in lockstep as it gravitates to the much larger star of Trump.

I'm sure Rubin and a few others will wash their hands of the whole thing and pivot at the 25th hour if Trump loses, but it's too early to say if it's "safe" to do so.

Quote
The soul of liberalism, the esteemed institutions of the New York Times and Yale University are lost—forever. Their essence has been drained and replaced with Leftism. As David Burge elegantly puts it, our institutions have been killed, gutted, and will now be worn as a carcass in a demand for respect. This all happened while liberals stood idly by, content to see folks like Rubin and Peterson eaten alive for moving away from the Left.

Eaten alive by... Positive media coverage.  :ohyou

Quote
While ranting about this topic—my primary writing process—I spoke with a friend in the academy. He mentioned that the dividing line isn’t between Left and Right. It’s between the Woke and the non-Woke. That’s correct, and it does—or should—transcend political parties.

Wasn't it Globalists Vs Anti-Globalists ? :confused

Quote
And if you work in the media ecosystem under a banner that isn’t explicitly conservative, just try to walk into your office tomorrow and make the case that maybe you should run a truly conservative op-ed by a Republican Senator, even if it’s a viewpoint 58% of Americans agree with. Just see what happens.

:badass

Quote
But a few brave souls have almost figured out that they need to switch teams or at least begin to befriend conservatives. Take J.K. Rowling, slowly getting red-pilled on trans issues.

Also the top headline on the site was "CANCEL THE NYT" which is an essay linked elsewhere. I'm sure it's a cheeky title but you know.

And a guy constantly gloating by his own admission really elicits respect and sympathy.  :brain

Loomer, Cernovich, and others like them see Kashuv as a sellout too cozy with the Republican establishment, and saw this as an opportunity to hurt him. Loomer even started a Change.org petition to get Harvard to rescind his admission.

On Twitter he's really gone from a minor figure to being an omnipresent quote-tweet dunk victim. Ditto with TCW.

If you're a professional writer and every day you're explaining how most of your audience has misinterpreted what you said, how long until you consider the possibility that you're not very good at your job?

When you believe you are a firebrand with controversial but true beliefs the fact that they are misunderstood just proves your point. That clique is as much of an echo chamber as any other they decry.

Right.

The next layer is that they want all moral satisfaction of being a truth-telling iconoclast without any of the difficulty or discomfort that comes with the role. Everyone wants to be a heretic but nobody wants to be a heretic.
