Be surprised no more, there's an apparent garbage shute for lots of "journalists" and pundits where something unspoken about modern times bothers them enough that they just flip into being total nutjobs, riding on their previous respectability to keep eyes on them. Silver is part of a long tradition including Glenn Greenwald, Matt Taibbi, heck even the Dilbert guy of people who used to make sense, saw "something" that REALLY bugged them and they just threw it all away to become unintelligible cranks. Makes ya think.
- realjhol 3y agoThere is absolutely nothing about Greenwald, Taibbi, or Adams that is in any way unintelligible or irrational.
- jonnycomputer 3y agoGreenwald and Adams are cranks, imo. Don't know about Taibbi.
- realjhol 3y agoWhat do you even mean by that? Their ideas are perfectly coherent and consistent within their own framing. Just because you look at the world through a different frame, doesn't mean that these people are saying things that are unreasonable
- jonnycomputer 3y agoThey consistently disregard evidence that contradicts their core beliefs.
- realjhol 3y agoSo does literally everyone in the entire world
