divabot posted:The Vox link shows the deficit as % of GDP. The second link shows it in absolute dollars without correction for time or inflation. Scott and his commenters prefer the second. Coincidentally, the second is a common way for financial cranks and conmen to lie about deficits and their size, because % of GDP is actually the correct measure - it is not, as Scott claims, "anyone else's" graph. (And note the lack of context for the WSJ's unusual use of an absolute-dollars graph.) The second graph does show a longer time period - but being in absolute dollars makes it crank rubbish unless there's a sterling excuse. I assumed the time scale was what was being objected to, not the way the deficit was measured. The Vosgian Beast posted:loving Steve Sailer is loving everywhere. He really is. I suspect he deliberately posts in the comments of as many different web sites as he can to maximize his exposure. Silver2195 has a new favorite as of 03:06 on Nov 1, 2015 |

Cingulate posted:Isn't Unz fairly pro-immigrant, and invested in anti-Bell Curve arguments? Unz carved out a pretty profitable niche by giving a platform to various alt-right reactionaries, even if he himself is not actually One of Them. It leads to an anachronistic diversity where one article Whitesplaining to Those People why White Civilization is the greatest thing to ever grace the Earth, is immediately followed up by an article about how African immigrants to the UK are out-competing whites academically. There is just no way to compete with Drudge Report in the milquetoast internet Right. There's a right-wing Israeli I know who regularly links to articles on Unz, which I find hilarious because the only things that Unz.com comments sections hate more than blacks are Jews. Prism Mirror Lens posted:Sort of, except his scenario in which we must nuke Muslims is... if we believe that they had the capability (never mind the intent) to nuke us. His justification for this seems to be that OF COURSE Islamists will nuke us given the chance, since they believe in fairy tales and have the makings of a 'death cult' (his words) In the 80s it was the Soviets who perceived the West as the Death Cult. They were seriously considering a pre-emptive strike on the United States, because they couldn't help but take Reagan's bluster about the Evil Empire seriously. It was natural for them to think this way, because the last time somebody kept woofing up the Soviet Union as the Evil Empire, Barbarossa happened.

Matt Walsh descends into Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf-level denialism, declaring that "the fight for women's rights is over, just move on". And of course he can't resist the opportunity to sneak in some good old-fashioned Islamophobia: Matt Walsh, racist misogynist dipshit posted:Disclaimer: I’m talking here about western society in North America and Europe. I’m aware that women in other parts of the world — Muslim countries, mostly — are still very often deprived of dignity and liberty. But, because I’m sort of a stickler for logic, I have to point out that even Saudi Arabia doesn’t have a “women’s rights” issue, per se. It has a human rights issue. It’s reductive to look at the exploits of Arab dictators or terrorist groups and accuse them of infringing simply on “women’s rights.” They dehumanize women, clearly, but the problem stretches far beyond that. Mussolini-style insistence that pointing out societal injustices is simply driving apart groups who should be working together for the glory of the Volksgemeinschaft: quote:The left’s crusade for “women’s rights” is an obnoxious, insidious farce; a lie designed to drive a wedge between the sexes and sow seeds of division and suspicion. Liberal feminists will say they don’t hate men, but in truth, their “women’s rights” narrative is fueled only by hatred. They envy men, resent children, and detest themselves. Modern feminism hates everything and everyone. And then he wraps around to meet Catherine Brennan on the dark side: quote:Pornography, “transgenderism,” abortion. These are the real enemies of women in our culture. They defile everything that makes a woman unique, beautiful, and true. But you’ll notice that feminists, with rare exception, are not referring to these areas when they talk about “women’s rights.” On the contrary, they claim these are avenues of female empowerment.

There have been people like this all throughout history, and generally they either die early in stupid wars for stupid causes, or grow old and bitter alone because no one listens to them.
