I don’t understand the point of trying to read someone’s mind while ignoring what he actually says. But that’s just me, and I never make “demands” of ignoramuses. After all, they’re ignoramuses, so they’re not likely to pay attention to anything I say. And, anyway, I don’t have any authority to tell them what to do.<br /><br />TDH is a big boy, but I doubt he gets the “pushback” from his commentariat because I doubt he reads it. Why would he, given the quality of the commentary? I expect he leaves it (spam ads included) as verification of his claims about tribalism. But that’s just a guess.<br /><br />Without access to the blog’s metrics, I can’t say for sure how many people read the blog, but there are online tools to check for references to the blog. Last time I checked, these were negligible. Do you suppose that hordes of people visit and lurk without external links to the place?deadrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828198094140822987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-56163949428272289212019-12-07T20:36:01.796-05:002019-12-07T20:36:01.796-05:00I've seen the level of Karen here and I'm...I've seen the level of Karen here and I'm very suspicious as to what the K-pods here would be about in another forum. <br /><br />I'd love to be wrong, but haven't seen it yet with your lot stipulating what people can and can't say in order to be authentic.

Your equating of criticism with a demand for silencing is extremely tiresome. <br /><br />It reminds me of the other indignant Somerby defenders who demand that critics ought to quit Somerby and go to some “safe space” without realizing the irony of that suggestion: they want Somerby’s comment to be a safe space for themselves!<br /><br />Lighten up. Somerby’s a big boy. He can take it. And he surely must expect some pushback from liberals when he calls them lazy, dumb, and immoral.

Thanks for the sentiment, though.<br /><br />My stance here isn’t grounded in virtuous forbearance. I think that TDH makes interesting claims that can be evaluated by examining evidence and thinking critically about his logic. Sometimes I think he’s got a good point, and sometimes I think he’s wandered off into the weeds. But whatever my conclusion, I don’t need to speculate on what he “really” thinks or whether he’s “really” a liberal or how much he’s “really” paid by the organs of Russian intelligence.<br /><br />If I’m willing to treat TDH that way, then I have to extend that posture to his commentariat.<br /><br />This isn’t to exclude the possibility that the Anonymices are sociopaths. They might be, but remember that people’s online personae needn’t align with their real personalities.<br /><br />I, for one, am much worse in person than I am as deadrat. Others may be better than their nyms.<br />deadrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828198094140822987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-68462036426381604172019-12-07T19:21:56.879-05:002019-12-07T19:21:56.879-05:00There's a plethora of Karens out there, Mao.

Do you have a cite? In any case, demanding the firing of incompetents isn’t cancel culture, which is the attempt to insulate oneself from opinions that you disagree with and that upset you.<br /><br /><i>Even when I don't agree with </i>[Charles Blow]<i> him, I want to read what he says and what a variety of others say.</i><br /><br />I’ll assume you don’t agree with flat-earthers and anti-vaxxers. Do you want to read what they say?<br /><br /><i>I like the people I encounter in daily life too, for the same reasons. I wouldn't think of calling them dumb because I disagree with them,….</i><br /><br />Most people are ignoramuses. Seems odd that you wouldn’t have picked that up with all your reading of Charles Blow and all your encountering in daily life. It speaks well of you that you don’t call them dumb simply because you disagree with them. That you wouldn’t call them dumb because they are, not so much.<br /><br /><i>because they didn't fact check some nitpick about a long dead Indian,</i><br /><br />Yeah, fuck those dead Indians. They’re long dead. No sense getting the facts straight about their lives and deaths.<br /><br /><i>or because their website is peculiar.</i><br /><br />This was a challenge you failed. I checked the website to see why TDH calls it peculiar, and because GIYF, I checked out the Manataka American Indian Council. Now maybe there’s no imperative for you to do as I did, but there sure is for your hero Blow.<br /><br /><i>Somerby used to quote Malala (who forgave her tormentors).</i><br /><br />Perhaps TDH forgives Charles Blow for being an incompetent. That doesn’t mean he must thereby overlook his shortcomings.<br /><br /><i>Liberals aren’t the problem.</i><br /><br />True, but liberals might be a problem. Even that’s a bridge too far for you. And for all your posturing about wanting to hear from those you disagree with, you’re sure quick to condemn this blogger as the enemy out to re-elect Trump.<br /><br />And that’s part of the cancel culture you claim to contemn.deadrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828198094140822987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-34787453090389911462019-12-07T15:09:14.178-05:002019-12-07T15:09:14.178-05:00All this whining about how this blogger might be h...All this whining about how this blogger might be having cognitive problems makes me think that Anonymous Ignoramus @1:25P is preoccupied with his or her own mental problems. It’s called projection, taking one’s own anxieties about oneself (whether grounded in reality or not) and imputing them to others. Showing that the blogger is wrong about the dumbing down of the world requires the mental acuity to marshal evidence and reason logically. The commenter finds that impossible, worries that this might indicate cognitive deficit, and so instead points to the blogger’s supposedly declining mental state. It isn’t the commenter becoming less sharp but the blogger with whom the commenter disagrees.<br /><br />Yes, this is mindreading but the Anonymous Ignoramus is so darned transparent. I would feel sorry for this commenter, but you don’t get to display your incompetence just because you can’t face your own mental deficits.<br /><br />~~~~~~~<br /><br />See how this works, Anonymous Ignoramus @1:25P?<br /><br />You say that the blog entry make you think, but that’s as likely as a triple-A battery starting a truck engine.<br />deadrathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02828198094140822987noreply@blogger.com
