As long as we are dealing with spineless moral turpitude this morning, there’s this - flagged yesterday by TAFM’s New Yiork sleuth David Levine. On first reading then, I was of the opinion that the stupid idiot was best left to wallow in her own bullshit, but looking at the thousands of idiots who posted support for this horse hockey, it needs confrontation.
I decided to look her up on Wikipedia, which has gotten better over the years, and I want to be fair to Ms. Wolf. It turns out she has been an anti-vax, conspiracy theorist dolt from the beginning of COVID, including claims of Dr. Fauci receiving payoffs. So at the very least, we know that she has long been an accessory to murder, and should be viewed as such.
To my knowledge, I only know two individuals who portray themselves as "intellectuals" and "anarchists," but when their bizarre and authoritarian tendencies emerged a few years ago, I blocked them and ceased all communications with them. A rabbit hole is a rabbit hole, and I don't care how smart they think they are, choosing to live in a subterranean jungle of falsehoods and weird conspiracy theories and then bludgeoning everyone with said idiocies makes them buffoons in my opinion.
About Hunter Biden’s laptop ... he’s bringing suit against the owner of the repair shop and he will win that suit, making all their fairytales FALSE, which they always were. The owner had writ in small type that items left for 90 days became his property. Two problems with that. DE law says it takes a year to appropriate abandoned goods AND the “item” is all you can appropriate. The data is not “yours” and taking it and distributing it is theft.
Tom, I love your “no holds barred” reporting, but I must apologize today for not being able to get all the way through this mess of ignorance and stupidity. I know you took the time to “educate” us to what we are fighting and I do appreciate it, but I just can’t deal with this level of what has to be genetic stupidity if the woman was able to blow her way to a d of phil.
well, Tom...I sure do feel pretty fucking "supported." for which, thank you.
but I gotta say again that I don't think she was ever a Marxist of any sort. she was--and has always been--a Wolfist.
I remember her first book, which struck me as idiotic. a foxy jewish girl (much like the ones I went to HS with) writes about how beauty is a social construct. and the joint goes wild.
then she writes a bunch of other books (only two or three were ones I knew about, but I checked her Wikipedia page today), each one stupider and crazier (and, from a research point of view, insanely bad) than the one preceding. and each one is filled with more and more conspiracy theory bullshit. one of the books, about the treatment of gay people in 19th century England, misinterprets a phrase to mean its opposite, on which she bases the entire book. several of them get pulped by their publisher. in one of them, she talks about thinking with her vagina (which I doubt, as I respect vaginas a lot more than I could possibly respect HER). in another one, she compares her C-section to Jesus on the cross, sounding like a Jesus freak.
for some reason, ever since I read the post you're quoting here, I've been absolutely unable to let go of this extraordinary rage, which those comments you also quote (very selectively, as there are THOUSANDS) have only served to stoke.
I'd say that there was something sad about the decline of Ms. Wolf's thinking, but I was never impressed with it much to begin with.
then why am I so furious? I should be able to let this go.
but thanks soooo much for repeating and answering some of the "charges" she makes in that post, which (as you point out) consist of accusing most of us for saying things we never said.
and I've been struggling with some of these same issues around Marxism as an elegant theory for framing a critique of the worst aspects of capitalism (especially the monopoly capitalism HERE) and the governments which it always seems to bring about. shitty fruits from a flawed tree.
and yesterday ALREADY began as an unhappy one, March 18th being the day Rochelle passed, eight years ago. and it hasn't gotten significantly "better."
on the positive side, my songwriting partner just sent me his latest draft of a song we wrote over thirty years ago (about, of all things, an AIDS hospice I once worked at) and it's PERFECT, with a new gorgeous melody. if I think about how good it is, my rage at Naomi Wolf goes away, more or less.
so something in the universe seems to be going right.
Good one. It's useful to be reminded of the criminality and abject ignorance of some of those on the left who have pretended to "leadership," Naomi Wolf among them.
Not only is she a moron, she’s a threat to our health and healthcare systems. I just read about some BS harassment going on against Sarasota Hospital by the “Moms for America”, who also like to ban books by the way. Apparently it has to do with them not treating Covid with Ivermectin. Never mind they had a better Covid survival rate than other hospitals in the area. But the “Moms” and other conspiracy theory nuts are still harassing hospital staff and making their lives miserable. Several conspiracy nuts are now on the hospital board. Possibly Mike Q Flynn helped with that just like he did the school boards there. 🤬
I had escaped Naomi Wolf, until I read some of the excerpts you quote above. I really couldn't stomach reading them all, because Aiyeee! As far as I'm concerned, the only Doctor of Philosophy that Wolf should have been awarded is a doctorate in Baffle Them With Bullshit. She has in common with Dumpster that she is a stupid person's idea of a smart person. That has to be the only reason she attracts any followers. True, she can push words around and construct elliptical, multi-clause sentences that observe the superficial grammar rules. Her remarks include enough Big Smart Person Words that if you don't actually try to decode them, they sound like they *might* mean something. But when you look closely, it's all blather. As the adage goes, "There's less here than meets the eye." Anyone who says they read and agree with Naomi Wolf just flunked the IQ test and the Two Heads test at the same time. RUN the other way.
I got through three paragraphs and can't read this anymore. It's 11:55 PM here in Kaua'i, and it's time for bed. I'm feeling nauseated from what I read already. I rarely comment, but WTF? What planet are these humans (?), idiots, douche bags, pustulating pimples, cretins, brain sucking vampire mosquitoes from?
OMG, I’m struck dumb. Maybe I’ve been dumb all along to even consider one MAGAt relative to be human. These people are not ignorant, they are stupid but know exactly what they are doing. To give credence to chump and his army of low life’s (including Musk, Thiel, etc) is traitorous and makes a mockery of our “free press.” “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. For the traitor appears not a traitor—He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims, and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation—he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city—he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared.” Cicero, 42BC. Well, Cicero speaks for me, except that propaganda works as well as stealth in the night. Better it seems.
I know some people like Wolf. They suffer from a bad case of know-it-allism and hero complex.
They want to be the one to save everyone from the “LIES.” They know something is wrong, but not what and instead of looking at facts that can be proven or listening to actual experts that have been in their field for YEARS, think they’re smarter.
another interesting thing about a lot of these commenting morons is the extent to which they call certain events and quotations "lies" when we can "go to the videotape" and demonstrate that they're not lies at all.

I cannot even go there with these people. What on earth do they use for brains?

Just cant deal with these " filthy fecal putrid bottom-dwellers"! Perfect description tho isnt it?
I was so overwhelmingly disgusted I had to stop reading. I'll get back to it later when my head is back on straight.

It’s sad, really sad. I pity her.

One thought. Sleeper Cell
The money to hide in plain sight coming from those known Dark Money sources is available
The plan has been 40 years in the making
Yeah, I know, its just conjecture
Follow the money
Honest people don’t use lies to promote lies
