Not a closet condemnation. In reality whatever Siskind is worried about is something that doesn't need him to worry about it. Similarly, resisting arrest kills blacks less often than other groups, per incident, rather than more. Straussianism always makes you sound like an idiot, which makes sense because Straussianism is idiotic. <br /><br />Re: Gavin, standard monkey nonsense. NYT is higher status: cringe and abase. Vice is lower status: casually beat as you walk past. Rationalism is about getting in touch with your hairy, poop-flinging past, right? Though it would be funny to see Gavin repeat the "don't kick me in the balls" line. <br /><br />Speaking of sacking, if you tune your intuition to that frequency, you can tell those lines are the only time he's speaking from the heart. Without exception, the rest smells of oily courtier. <br /><br />1900-era reds are Fascists. Fascist gonna Fasc. Left = Fascist. Alleged right = dowdy Fascist. Paleoconservative = paleofascist.

Maybe I've been reading too much Moldbug; more now than ever Curtis likes to incorporate time-wasting "cute" touches like that. Furthermore nuBug has been identifying in a more and more tiring way with the early 20th century reds, people who, if he actually read their writing as did oldBug, he would realize were almost totally intellectually barren.<br /><br />It comes as no surprise to me that Siskind's parents are both rather famous medical doctors. As a prescient anon on 4chan /sci/ points out, "they clamp." Another funny point: he went to medical school in Ireland. I'm no expert in these things, but I'm under the impression that the usual reason an American would do something like that is because he couldn't crack it applying to medical schools at home.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
