My take on Douglas Murray: he didn't understand Foucault, got mad about it, and decided Foucault is an evil Marxist. It kind of rhymes with Jordan Peterson's sentiments about the boogeyman of postmodernism.
The man doesn't know the difference between "remorseless" and "relentless".
No offense to the mods, but community “guidelines” translates into skewed application.
As for Douglas Murray, the reviews for his books aged like fine wine.
No, it really doesn’t. They are a poor substitute for self-awareness.
Much easier to make burners, say what’s on one’s mind, and move on.
Having never used a burner, been on here a little over a decade, been on the unpopular side of many arguments here, having never had a ban, and being #17 on the leaderboard, I’m pretty confident that HN does not, in fact, require burners.
> Much easier to make burners, say what’s on one’s mind, and move on.
Yes, its a lot easier to use burners than think about how you are engaging and presenting your views.
As I said, use a burner, post and move on. Let the haters do their thing.
It sounds like you're a coward, honestly.
I do genuinely believe he didn't understand the work of Foucault.
I also do genuinely believe he's personal friends with the prime minister of Hungary which should tell you everything you need to know about his politics.
Crass commentary from me, I know. It’s a tale as old as time.
Edit: to drive this point home, look at which actors in the West are prominently signalling, especially those with political pull, and then look at the conditions they live in and the company they really surround themselves with. What income bracket are they in? Who are they married to? Who are their real neighbours and peers? It speaks for itself.
Western Europe's motto since ww2
What then is this signalling for?
