Helping Jonah Write a Column

It’s the last GLoP of the year — oh wait, it’s the last GLoP of the decade. Better make this one memorable. What can we do? I know, let’s help Jonah write a column. YES.

So that’s what we do: Rob and John suggest column topics and along the way, cover the which droids they’d like to be, the trouble with Clint Eastwood’s new movie Richard Jewell, why the Democratic party is eating itself, a bit of Rank Punditry®, Rob’s newest obsession: ASMR videos (no, we’ve never heard of it either), and various other rabbit holes and detours.

Thanks to everyone for listening this year and for the always bracing conversation on Ricochet that follows each show.  We appreciate it.

    @filmklassik — “Even relatively apolitical Americans under the age of 25 take it for granted that structural racism is very much “a thing” in this country — still — and that our cops are using young black men for target practice … and that Islamophobia is rampant … and that women are being routinely silenced merely for speaking their minds, etc. […]

     

    Other conservatives (or alleged conservatives like the GLoPers) may be too afraid of being smeared and blacklisted as racists.

     

    If you listen carefully to this podcast you can get a sense of it.  I don’t want to be insensitive, but JPod and Jonah do not consider themselves white, they consider themselves Jewish in regards to this issue.  The second revelation is when Jonah points out when talking about race issues he feels its important to always make some concession to the left that there may be white supremacy or racism and the Left has some legitimate good faith concern on their part.   This sounds crazy to an average American because that is simply not part of current reality outside a super rare and public few nutters.  Of course the Left has been trying to weaponize white guilt for years.  So, they have no conception of what these problems are like for average whites who send their kids to public schools and have them come home hating themselves and convinced whites destroyed the world, and also know in every application they will be discriminated against in favor of others.

    He may not have been “black-listed” (how interesting that expression continues to exist these days) just for it, but John Derbyshire’s “The Talk For Non-Blacks” was no doubt high on his list of “thought crimes.”  It’s very interesting.
