My not being a US citizen makes my opinion worth less, but not worthless. Most of my internet buds are American and leaning right. I see no hatred of the left, only contempt, which is the appropriate attitude toward those who have joined the medieval Woke movement, which contrary to Caplan’s statement is a movement of deep hatred. Well they do hate Joe Biden, but that’s pretty normal behavior.

One of the great mysteries of Caplan is how he can be so right on some issues, and so utterly wrong about others. For example, he’s dead right about the mass media, and yet he seems to believe that the mass media is anti-immigrant (!). He hates Communism, and understands the murder and havoc it wrought with it’s utter ignorance of the laws of economics, yet he’s a pacifist, because he believes that nations will not fight each other, for economic reasons (!!). You hardly know whether to laugh or cry…

I liken mainstream media to a fun house mirror; both show you inverted reality. But it’s incredible the grip it has on people. I swear people are watching and believing their TVs, as if Moses himself is broadcasting from the mountain!
