You have to be a special kind of oaf pig to sneer that a piece of evidence that something is authentic [idiosyncratically capitalized nouns in early modern english] is clear proof of inauthenticity based on knowledge which you do not possess.
On Twitter the other day, Curtis Yarvin declared a speech by George Washington to be “fake communist history” because he asked Claude about it and the AI glazed him

This chapter a very strong piece of evidence for the claim that Moby Dick is, in part, an allegory about humanity’s struggle with the possibility of god’s non-existence in the 19th century. There has to he a God for an evil whale to exist.
To be enraged with a dumb thing, Captain Ahab, seems blasphemous.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

Reading "Titus Groan" and it's magnificent. Wish it was public domain in the US, because I think I could make a real barnburner of an audiobooks of it. BTW if you're a channel subscriber: I've been coughing and congested these last couple weeks. New chapters to come soon!

MAGA is fawning over Erika Kirk right now, but there's no way she can keep Charlie's audience.
His bread and butter was sexualized humiliation of college girls — more "Girls Gone Wild" than doing politics the "right way."
His followers won't hear it from a woman.

Why does Dreher piss me off more than almost any other right-wing pundit despite being this much of a schlemiel? His wicked cruelty, bigotry, and monstrous hypocrisy he shares with his fellow travellers so that's not the answer.
this is a rich text from when Rod talked about his separation from his wife

II don't want to boast, but this past spring, I attended several TPUSA "debate me" sessions on my campus and the extent to which they were absolutely unprepared to face off with a calm 31-year-old who had read a book before was astonishing.

The evil intellectual -- Richard Hanania, Sohrab Ahmari, Edmund Ruffin, James Henry Hammond, Hermann Aubin -- is a recurring type. Always eager to lend heft to evil, always disappointed and embittered when evil and stupid are on the same side. Rarely appreciated by their contemporaries. They can rot
