And why Harvard? Obviously you have some rhetorical end in mind (which you directly acknowledge immediately after this statement). Saying you're presenting "facts" and not "evidence" doesn't change this. <br /><br />According to moldbuggist dogma, Harvard is leftist because it was founded by Puritans three and a half centuries ago. According to standard history and <a href="http://racehist.blogspot.com/2015/03/the-port-huron-statement-not-product-of.html" rel="nofollow">Jewish radicals themselves</a>, the Jewish origins of Vietnam-era Jewish radicals had greater salience to their radicalism than the theology of 17th-century New England settlers. In failing to point out relevant facts that are obvious to me but will not be obvious to most of your readers and the significance of which moldbuggism was specifically created to deny, you certainly appeared to be behaving like a doctrinaire moldbuggist.<br /><br /><br />"Another elementary mistake is coming off like a goddamned obsessive."<br /><br />I don't recall moldbug cultists ever being concerned about appearing "obsessive" when blaming New England Puritans -- or when discussing any group whatsoever besides Jews. Socially and intellectually aspirational nerds are hilariously easy to manipulate.n/ahttp://racehist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227780861638767023.post-16992994127358258852015-08-22T03:50:17.742+01:002015-08-22T03:50:17.742+01:00You presume wrongly. Do I look like a CPUSA vogon ...You presume wrongly. Do I look like a CPUSA vogon assigned the task of slapping down Maltz and his counterrevolutionary idea of not beating everyone over the head with the Message forever? Those articles are facts, not 'evidence'. When you try to convince someone of something, you don't lead by letting him know what you're trying to convince him of. That's an elementary mistake. If you start bringing out evidence, you force him into a courtroom -- and our courts run on the adversarial model.<br /><br />Another elementary mistake is coming off like a goddamned obsessive. Frankly, the best evidence for Moldbuggism is the tendency of its opponents to be unable to keep themselves from frothing at the mouth.<br /><br />By the way, I'm not surprised by that Lemann quote at all.nydwracuhttp://nydwracu.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
