Usually with these internet figures there's some element of difficulty to their work that makes me think "hmm that probably takes effort" like Laura Loomer being everywhere at once or Cernovich bragging about making documentaries. But with James Lindsay I genuinely can't see anything I couldn't knock off on a Sunday afternoon and probably do his job 10x better. He just posts retarded college freshman takes on twitter all day. That's literally all he does.
All he did was perform a diversionary maneuver to catch the overflow from leftist insanity and route people back into a holding pattern--less leftist, but still far from the right.
The grievance studies affair was the project of a team of three authors—Peter Boghossian, James A. Lindsay, and Helen Pluckrose—to highlight what they saw as poor scholarship and erosion of standards in several academic fields.
Taking place over 2017 and 2018, their project entailed submitting bogus papers to academic journals on topics from the field of critical social theory such as cultural, queer, race, gender, fat, and sexuality studies to determine whether they would pass through peer review and be accepted for publication. Four of these papers were subsequently published, which the authors cited in support of their contention.
Yes. They pulled off a prank on academic journals. It was a great joke, and (re-)exposed the idiocy in academia for a minute. I believe it just happened to come at a time that 'wokeness' was getting discovered by normies, so it gave Lindsay a bigger platform.
She completely discredited herself, is an absolute lunatic, and was a joke even before becoming even more of a deranged Zionist post October 7th...and yet she's only failed upwards, and now has the President's ear, and DoD or something?
Laura Loomer deserves to be just an angry internet person yelling at clouds like James Lindsay, by almost all metrics.
I had the same position as he did because I thought she was a MAGA pitbull who could go off the rails sometimes but did genuinely did good work identifying leftists in the government etc. This year she has exposed herself as a psycho Zionist asset and traitor and I completely agree with you. She clearly gets info from Mossad and even though there's still some people she calls out where it's needed, it's also clear she's there to keep actual based people out
Never said she would, but she has gone after some good targets.
Hell, I have her muted because she's an insane Zionist, but when I hear about some leftist "resistance" person being fired because she dug up details on them I'm still happy with the result.
He was masterful at slogging through the literature of wokeist Marcuse and Gramsci worshipping retards and pointing out how fucking stupid "Critical Theory" actually was. There is no amount of money on the planet that could make me subject myself to that kind of academic torture.
But he was still a liberal and as such he couldn't handle it when real conservatives starting pushing back against the leftists.

He is famous for his New Discourses disassembly of critical theory. Thats it. He is a one hit wonder coasting on that one thing he did.

Oh good, a Peterson style gatekeeper.

So they exposed the system of being retarded, by being retarded?
Yes. They pulled off a prank on academic journals. It was a great joke, and (re-)exposed the idiocy in academia for a minute. I believe it just happened to come at a time that 'wokeness' was getting discovered by normies, so it gave Lindsay a bigger platform.
Joke's on them, he was only pretending!
To be fair, Laura Loomer confuses me more.
She completely discredited herself, is an absolute lunatic, and was a joke even before becoming even more of a deranged Zionist post October 7th...and yet she's only failed upwards, and now has the President's ear, and DoD or something?

I just hope her tires are alright now.
You can't discredit what has no credit.
Point is, she was already a joke, and then went even more crazy...and then somehow only went upward in influence. That's fucking wild.
She's an Israeli asset. That's why.
Laura Loomer is someone you want on your side, precisely because she's insane.
You keep her at arm's length and let her go after your enemies, and when she does something/finds something useful you take advantage of it.
And when she does something insane you say, "well yeah, she's crazy."
Nah, I want nothing to do with that psycho bitch. But you do you.

Not really addressing what I said, but you do you.
She will never go against her own tribe.

Oh that's the guy? I listen to his podcast sometimes.
He's pretty smart but he might have a touch of the 'tism. That sword shit is embarrassing.
