A READER sends a post from Banned Hipster, who writes:

Personally, again, just for the record: I am not now, nor have I ever been, a right-winger. I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I’m never been dumb enough to fall for that scam. Right-wingers are knuckle-dragging morons with a perfect, 100% track record of losing every single battle with the left and failing to conserve anything, even the women’s restroom.

F*** right-wingers. Also, f*** Z-Man and Jim Donald, morons who don’t know jack shit about most things but are simply tied to a ridiculous ideology that is hardly all that different than various leftist ideologies. All they engage in is right-wing virtue signaling – Jim Donald’s entire output is purity spiraling, which is just hysterical, as he sees that in everyone on the left, but never seems to notice it even in his own writing and commenting. What an astonishing lack of self-awareness from these not really “dissident” right-wingers.

I don’t read the writers Banned Hipster mentions above, but I second his sentiments about conservatives and can attest to what he says, though I have in the past been dumb enough to fall for some of these cons. Right-wingers hate the truth. So do those “traditionalists” who bury lies in a mountain of pseudo-intellectual sophistries and cater to morons. Right-wingers have a cult-like mentality. They have dragged this nation to the ground with their refusal to cope with reality and truth or their actual complicity. Hipster also writes:

I’ve found 9/11 truth is an almost completely 100% reliable indicator of people who have a clue, and people who do not. The anti-truthers are all invested in one idea, and that is, facts, reality, evidence, observation, none of that matters, because they can “prove” something simply via words. “I write this sentence, therefore 9/11 truthers are wrong.” [Emphasis added.]

My favorite was always, “someone would have talked!” I mean, literally scores of people have talked they just didn’t get broadcast on TV, so you’ve never heard of any of them.

All of what they are doing is called “thought-terminating cliches.” E. Michael Jones is particularly bad about this. He rejects physical reality in favor of language. He also simply hates white people, hates America, and believes whatever the Vatican tells him to believe, because he’s a textbook religious fanatic. [TTH comment: Jones is wittingly or unwittingly a Kremlin shill.]

Anyone who believes in the official narrative of 9/11 at this point is either guilty of such extreme mental sloth that his opinions on anything happening in the world can be disregarded or he is a disinformation agent. The very laws of physics and gravity are against him — and these laws cannot be altered by moronic right-wingers no matter how holier-than-thou they are.

Far be it from me to defend Zman (I know nothing of the other bloggers mentioned by Banned Hipster), but I believe that Zman is more Paleocon than Reaganite. His main theme is race realism, he deplores the uniparty and is certainly no “right winger” as conventionally understood.

His stumbling blocks regarding conspiracy theories seem to be his devotion to the razors, Occam’s and Hanlon’s. When analyzing events or outcomes, he almost always chooses the simpler explanation and ascribes most things to incompetence rather than evil.

By the way, thank you for your great work covering the Covid madness. We conspiracy theorists appreciate your updates!

Great!

But controlled demolition is the simplest explanation. One has to go from the physical evidence.

I have a hard time believing in the sincerity of those who promote the official story at this point. The evidence is so overwhelming.

A reader writes:

I’ve never read a more intelligent observer of modern politics than Zman.  I don’t agree with him all the time, like his stance on evolution.  But he is the most astute thinker out there, and he is a good writer.

He isn’t a “right-winger’ in the sense that Banned Hipster characterized him at all. Here is just from his post today, another great essay. Its a seven-minute read:

Just as conservatism is a bone the system throws to middle-class white people to keep them busy; socialism is a bone tossed to upper-middle class white people to make them feel special….

 Whether it is civic nationalists and their utopian fantasies about the Constitution or the middle-class socialists and their utopian fantasies about economics, radicalism requires the participants to live in a state of smug self-delusion.

These are not the words of a normal right winger. I wish BH would have defined what he meant by “right winger.” What do you mean by right winger?

I think the  terms Zman uses, conservatism and civic nationalists,  are equivalent to “right wing.” BH is using it.  That post from Banned Hipster was so juvenile. I can’t imagine an intelligent person comparing Zman to Banned Hipster would come away thinking Zman was a knuckle dragging moron and Banned Hipster was level headed and insighful. He sounded deranged!  Zman is always insightful!

By the way, I found this at your site.

Laura writes:

Yes, I posted that at a reader’s recommendation. I have never really read through his site beyond that. “Knuckle-dragging moron” doesn’t seem to be what he is, but if he defends the lies of 9/11, I’m not interested in him and don’t agree that he is the most astute thinker at all. Why would someone as seemingly well-read as he is not have researched the evidence? So he thinks the buildings were brought down in perfect free fall from fires?

Why doesn’t he use his real name?

Also, I’m not interested in what Darwinists have to say about the state of our culture.

Laura adds:

I think of a “right winger” as someone who identifies with the Republican Party, National Review, American Thinker and the sites I see Zman has listed in his sidebar — and doesn’t wander much beyond that reservation.

Zman strikes me – after another cursory look – as so much intellectual hot air and evasion. More controlled opposition for conservative dummies. Sorry if that offends.

S.K. Orr writes:

Another  thing about the Zman is that he poo-poos concerns about the Chinese virus “vaccine.” In a recent podcast, he noted that he hasn’t yet gotten the jab, but if the time comes and he’s asked to get it for his job or in order to travel, “Yeah, well, I’ll get it. No big deal.” He seems to sneer at those of us who have serious concerns about the “vaccine” and those who want us to submit to it.

It’s difficult not to look with narrowed eyes at someone who shills for products like a nasty Alaskan fungus he swears produces a tasty summertime drink. Oh, please.
