Prager Speaks

@Aqua-Letifer said in Prager Speaks:

My problem with Prager is that there isn't a single topic of conversation in which he doesn't take the position that:

• The not-Right side thinks they're being reasonable, but they're not, and
• We on the Right have the better, more objective answer.

Sometimes he sprinkles in a little anger and hostility, too. But every response has at least those two.

If someone told him that lefties believe the earth revolves around the sun, he'd laugh and say that's because the left hates the STEM fields and don't understand that Ptolemy solved this problem centuries ago.

He probably picks his spots, in areas he believes the right is rational and the left is not.

One of the main premises of his piece is that the left believes this shooter was mainstream-right-adjacent. Which, they do. Just ask them.

I've never heard him say otherwise about anything ever. So until he does, I'm considering him a conservative propagandist.

When people say "The left", do they mean me? Because I consider myself a liberal, but I frequently don't believe what people say I believe.

This guy was obviously an extremist. D'uh.

I'm comfortable classifying the president as a representative of the mainstream left.

IOW, in this piece he's right and you have nothing to quibble with.

Your loss.

The echo chamber is not conducive to retrospection.

Which is exactly why I ignore Prager.

Son, you're smart, but you are still lacking in wisdom.

Give it time, it'll come.
