Yes I was very disappointed that Justin Trudeau, mon premier ministre d'amour, would say nice things about a racist, misogynist & lazy thinker like Steven Pinker |
So what was I blogging about this time twelve years ago?
Surprise surprise - I was blogging about Steven Pinker and his connection to the racist right!
I have consistently discussed the career of Steven Pinker in the last 12 years on this blog, although some years I have not mentioned Pinker as much as others: in 2012 I only mentioned him twice and in 2008 I did not mention him even once.
2018 has been a banner year focusing on Pinker's career, because he started out 2018 being more blatant about his defense of the right than ever before.
I hope to do even more going forward, justified by Bari Weiss citing Pinker as some kind of respectability high-point for the racist, misogynist, anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-trans "Intellectual Dark Web."
